Body Piercing Training

Study body-piercing equipment, jewellery and a range of piercing topics through the published curriculum. Review the techniques listed on your country’s course page and ask about any skill you specifically want to learn.

Follow the course instructions and complete the relevant practical assignments. Use your practice work to identify questions for the team instead of treating a topic list as evidence of readiness to perform every procedure.

The learning includes jewellery types and materials, needles and equipment. Connect those topics to the assigned work and keep an accurate record of completed learning and further practice.

Hygiene topics include instrument cleaning, waste management and preventing cross-contamination. Separately confirm the local premises, registration and insurance requirements for the address and services you intend to offer. Course completion does not automatically establish legal compliance everywhere.

About Our Online Courses

Online Tattoo Training

Study online from your location through recorded course lessons. Choose your country’s course page for the current training details, prices and enrolment options.

Equipment is supplied only in South Africa and New Zealand. Availability and inclusion depend on your selected course and equipment option. In other regions, arrange equipment through your own supplier.

Begin the lessons included in your selected course and payment option, and arrange the required equipment before starting practical exercises.

Please note, our design lessons require a PC, specifically a Windows-operated one, for the software we provide. If you’re on a different platform, you’ll need to use compatible art software.

Use the lessons, assignments and regular practice to develop your skills. Review the selected course syllabus and completion requirements before enrolling.

Essentials

Use a reliable internet connection to access the recorded lessons. Check the course’s equipment and supplies information before starting the practical assignments.

Assignment-Based Training for Practical Learning

Our online courses connect explanation with assigned work and practice. Follow the course instructions, keep your attempts and identify the questions you want to discuss with the team.

Check the assignments in your selected course and complete them in the recommended order. Keep a short record of what you tried, what improved and what needs further work.

Use each assignment to check your understanding and identify the next practice task. When something is unclear, ask a specific question with the relevant lesson or example of your work.

Bloodborne Pathogens (BBP)

Bloodborne pathogens (BBP) are pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood; these and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) can cause disease.

BBP learning covers exposure risks and prevention, personal protective equipment, sharps, waste and incident-response topics. Keep course completion separate from the workplace-specific instructions and requirements that apply to your role.

After Course Assistance

Once your course is complete, our dedication to your learning and development remains. You’re never alone on your educational journey. We’re available through Message Skinart to provide continual support and guidance. Whether you’re in need of technical assistance, have questions about a particular topic, or just want to explore new concepts, we’re a message or call away. Embark on this exciting learning adventure with us and let’s continue to grow and succeed together.
