Learn Fine Line Tattooing
4-Day UK Masterclass With Live Models

Start Your Journey Into Fine Line Tattooing

Our 4-Day Fine Line Tattoo Masterclass is designed to take you from a beginner (with zero tattoo experience) or experienced artist looking to refine your skills, to someone who can confidently create beautiful, precise fine line tattoos.

Over four days, you’ll learn the foundations, master the techniques, and work on live models under the guidance of professional tattoo artists. You’ll also gain your Infection Prevention & Control Level 2 certification, so you leave not only skilled, but ready to work safely and legally.

Who This Course Is For

We specialise in hands-on, practical tattoo training delivered in a professional studio setting. Our CPD accredited courses are designed for both beginners and artists looking to develop specialist skills, such as fine line tattooing or scalp micropigmentation.

  • This masterclass is perfect for: Complete beginners with no tattoo experience who want a structured, hands-on introduction to fine line tattooing.
  • Experienced tattoo artists wanting to specialise in or perfect their fine line techniques.
Whether you’re changing careers, adding a new style to your skillset, or finally pursuing the creative path you’ve been drawn to for years — this course will give you the knowledge, confidence, and practical experience you need.

Why This Course is Different

We believe the best way to learn tattooing… is to tattoo.

From day one, you’ll be working hands-on — starting with synthetic skin and moving quickly to live model tattooing under expert supervision. Every technique, every setup, every client interaction — you’ll practise it all in a real working environment.

And because a successful tattoo career is about more than just the art, we also include:

  • Infection Prevention & Control Level 2 Certification (required to work legally in the UK)
  • Business, marketing & client management guidance
  • Ongoing mentorship after the course ends
