Assignment-Based Training for Practical Learning
At Skinart, we believe the true test of a tattoo artist’s skill lies in their ability to apply knowledge in practical, real-world scenarios. That’s why our UK Tattoo Training course embraces a project-based learning approach, designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and tangible artistry.

Each module within our course is accompanied by tailored assignments that challenge you to dive deep into the craft. These aren’t just theoretical exercises; they’re designed as work studies that simulate real tattooing situations. From designing your first piece to mastering intricate shading techniques, our assignments provide a structured path to develop your skills, step by step.

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.
