The Art of Skin: A Beginner’s Guide to Tattooing

Experience

Curious about what really goes on behind the tattoo chair? Step into our world for a beginner‑friendly workshop that’s equal parts history lesson, art jam, and “wait… we’re doing what now?”

This isn’t a crash course in becoming a pro overnight — it’s a playful, low‑stakes introduction to the tools, traditions, and tiny rituals that make tattooing such a fascinating craft. You’ll learn why some artists swear by coils, why others love rotaries, what’s actually in tattoo ink, and how a proper setup can feel like a sacred ceremony.

Then we’ll flip through our artists’ portfolios, help you sketch your own mini flash, and guide you into a hands‑on moment that always gets a laugh. It’s unexpected. It’s oddly satisfying. And it’s the perfect way to dip your toes into the world of tattooing without any pressure.

No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to try something delightfully surprising.
