Motink Academy · Professional tattoo master
Learn to tattoo from scratch
6 months of online training with tutoring and 1 month of real practice at our studio in Pallejà (Barcelona), in groups of 5 students with a tutor.
How we teach
Learning to tattoo is not watching videos. It is practising, having someone correct your mistakes and tattooing with a professional by your side.
That’s why the Master combines online training at your own pace with a month of real practice at Motink. No previous experience and no drawing skills needed.
