What they are saying about the tattoo programs we offer...
"The Starting Point is the MOST challenging Part! I'd say 50% of people struggle with
taking the first leap into learning something new.
After that it is downhill. It takes hard work, focus, and true dedication, don't get me wrong. But then it flows together, integrates and you get excited about truly making a big difference in peoples lives! "
