Record Where Each Review Comes From

Save the original review link and date, then note the course named by the reviewer. Include whether they describe online lessons, a studio course or a separate apprenticeship. If the format is not clear, leave it as an unanswered question rather than assuming it matches the option you want.

Note the reviewer’s starting point. An experienced illustrator learning new equipment may describe different challenges from someone beginning to draw. Their experience can still be useful, but it should be read in that context.

Check whether the comment concerns enrolment, a lesson in progress or the completed course. A smooth purchase and a helpful assessment are different experiences; record what the review actually covers.

Use the Same Questions for Each Course

• Which course option and learning format does the review describe?
• What assigned work did the student complete?
• What does the review say about feedback, with a specific example?
• Which equipment or materials were included or arranged separately?
• What was difficult, and how was that difficulty addressed?
• Which details need confirmation against the current course terms?

Copy these questions into a note for each course you are considering. Use “not stated” when a review leaves something out. This makes gaps visible and avoids giving a confident-sounding review more weight simply because it is longer.

For example, a review might mention a useful correction without explaining how work was submitted. Your follow-up question would be: “How do I submit a drawing or practice exercise, and who reviews it?” This is a comparison example, not a quotation from a student.

Compare Practical Learning Arrangements

Look for a clear connection between lessons, assignments and tutor review. Ask what materials are used for each stage and how the next task is decided. Watching a demonstration and completing an assessed exercise are different parts of the learning process.

If you need supervised studio experience, ask about that directly. Do not infer an apprenticeship, placement or live model session from a review of an online course. Confirm any separate arrangements before making them part of your plan.

When a reviewer shares work, check what the image represents: a drawing, practice on a synthetic material or work on a person. The caption and learning context matter. A polished image alone cannot show how independently the work was completed or what feedback it received.

Check the Complete Commitment

Use the current course page for the price and selected option. Reviews can remain online after prices, inclusions and arrangements change. Confirm what the option covers and which equipment or consumables you will need to arrange separately.

Plan time for lessons, assigned practice and feedback. Someone else’s completion date is useful context about their experience, but it does not establish your own timetable. Ask about the current access and assessment terms rather than relying on an old review.

If a review describes gaining a job, clients or earnings, keep that separate from the training comparison. Previous skills, the local opportunity and work outside the course all affect those outcomes. Ask a prospective studio or employer about its own expectations instead of treating another student’s story as an employment promise.

Turn the Comparison Into an Enquiry

Choose the two or three unanswered questions that could change your decision. Send them with your starting experience and the exact course option you are considering. Specific questions make it easier to receive a useful answer.

A concise enquiry could read: “I am comparing the online tattoo course and have some drawing experience. What practical work will I submit, how is it reviewed, and which equipment must I arrange for the option I have selected?” Add any need for supervised learning as a separate question.

Keep the reply with your comparison sheet and check it against the published terms. For Skinart’s current arrangements, start with the UK online tattoo course. Choose on the basis of confirmed teaching, support and costs that suit your circumstances, rather than a star rating alone.
