Taster Day
Tattoo taster day in Birmingham
Not sure a full course is right for you yet? A tattoo taster day is a relaxed, hands-on way to find out what tattooing is really like, with a working artist beside you for the day.
What it is
A hands-on first taste of tattooing
Our taster day is a short, friendly introduction to tattooing for complete beginners. In a single day at our central Birmingham studio you get a feel for the craft: how a machine is set up, how the needle moves, and what it actually feels like to make your first lines on artificial skin, all under the eye of a professional tattoo artist.
It is the perfect way to test the water before booking onto our 10-day beginner diploma or a fine line course. No experience is needed, and there is no pressure to sign up to anything on the day.
On the day
What a taster day covers
Meet a working artist
Spend the day with a tutor who tattoos for a living and can answer every question you have about the craft and the career.
Set up and hold a machine
Learn how a modern tattoo machine works, how it is set up hygienically, and how it feels in your hand.
Make your first lines
Practise lining and shading on artificial skin, so you leave knowing whether this is the path for you.
Who it's for
Perfect if you're curious but not sure yet
The taster day suits anyone thinking about learning to tattoo who wants to try it before committing to a full course. You should be over 18. Whether you already draw, work in beauty and aesthetics, or simply love tattoos and want a career change, a day in the studio will tell you far more than any video can.
