4-Day Fine Line Course in Birmingham
Fine line is the most requested style in modern tattooing, and it is a craft in itself. This four-day course takes a beginner from setup to steady single-needle line work: clean thin lines, smooth curves, lettering and small, precise designs that heal well. You practise on artificial skin and finish on a live model.

I started the 10-day course never having held a machine and tattooed a live model by the end. The small group meant the tutor actually watched every line I did.

The 4-day fine line course was exactly what I wanted. I came out able to hold a clean single-needle line and I've been building a fine-line portfolio since.

★★★★★
I run a microblading studio and the 2-day course let me add fine-line tattoos to my services in a weekend. It assumed I already knew skin and hygiene, which saved so much time.
Niamh R.2-Day Fine Line Course -
★★★★★
Genuinely the most professional training I looked at in Birmingham. Real bench time, real feedback, and the hygiene side was taken seriously from day one. Worth every penny.

Travelled in from Brighton for the beginner diploma and it was completely worth the trip. Small class, patient tutors, and I left with a portfolio I could actually show studios.

I'd done an online course before and learned almost nothing. This was the opposite. Hands on machines from the first morning, corrected in real time. I finally feel ready to guest.
Jack F.4-Day Fine Line Course -
★★★★★
The hygiene and blood-borne pathogen side was covered properly, which is exactly what studios asked me about at interview. I walked in with a certificate and a portfolio and got the spot.

★★★★★
The small group meant I never felt lost or rushed. The tutors are working artists so the feedback is honest and current, not something read off a slide. Best decision I've made for my career.

As an SPMU artist the 2-day course was perfect. Focused, no filler, and it respected what I already knew. I was offering fine-line tattoos to my clients the following week.
