Certified Course · 6 Months
An intensive, hands-on program that takes you from sterilisation basics to a client-ready portfolio — taught inside a working studio, by the artists who run it.
Curriculum
Each stage builds directly on the last — you won't touch a machine on skin until the fundamentals are second nature.
Sterilisation protocol, equipment handling, skin anatomy and studio safety standards — the non-negotiables, first.
Practice-skin work building steady hand control, consistent line weight, and controlled shading technique.
Getting comfortable with the machine itself — needle depth, speed, and pressure across different placements.
Blending, saturation and depth — the building blocks behind our studio's own realism-heavy style.
Supervised work on real clients, with a senior artist beside you at every step.
Building a body of work you'd actually show a client, plus guidance on pricing, consults and running a book.
What's Included
Direct guidance from resident senior artists throughout, not a pre-recorded curriculum.
The core equipment and practice-skin materials you need for hands-on modules.
A completion certificate from The Solar Tattoo, recognised across our industry network.
