Online Tattoo Removal Training: From Theory to Model Practice
Study the non-laser ink-rejection method through 50 lessons, with recordings and current written guidance. Follow a clear route through consultation, hygiene, model practice and aftercare, supported by a printable handbook and editable studio-planning forms.
How you will work through the course
- 01 · UNDERSTAND
Read alongside the recordings
Use the current lesson notes and printable 57-page handbook. Compare removal approaches, study skin and pigment, and work through client consultation and local responsibilities. Handbook editions are available in 25 languages.
- 02 · REHEARSE
Practise on a training model
Develop positioning and equipment control on purpose-made synthetic skin. Keep training materials separate from client supplies, record your observations and discuss questions with your tutor.
- 03 · ORGANISE
Build your studio study file
Use the editable planning forms for consultation, cleaning, exposure incidents, follow-up and solution traceability. Identify what needs appropriate local review before documents or materials are used with clients.
A useful model-practice review
After a synthetic-skin exercise, note what it showed about your handling and positioning. Then write what it could not show: healing, scarring or removal effectiveness on a person. Bring the next question to your tutor before moving on.
The Tattoo Removal Method Taught in This Course
This is Skinart’s non-laser ink-rejection course. It compares laser removal and dermabrasion for context; it does not train you to operate a laser. The method taught is not simply the use of plain saline.
Read the current written guidance alongside the recordings. The course reviews the removal-solution recipe critically: a recipe alone does not establish sterility, stability or suitability for use on a person. The lessons explain what further evidence and qualified assessment are needed before client use.
Training covers consultation, hygiene, model practice, procedure review and aftercare. Local licensing, insurance and health requirements still apply.

HOW TO GET STARTED WITH THE ONLINE TATTOO REMOVAL COURSE
Choose the Full Course or start with Pay As You Go Part 1. Review the selected option and its terms before ordering.
- Choose your course option. Select Full Course for the complete course, or Pay As You Go Part 1 to begin with the first part. Part 1 does not include later parts or qualify you for the full-course certificate.
- Review your basket and checkout. Check your chosen course, current equipment requirements and total, then select one of the available payment methods. An order awaiting payment is not the same as an active paid enrolment.
- Start the paid training and plan your practice. Once payment is confirmed, follow the instructions for your Academy access. Use the current notes and equipment checklist before buying practice supplies. Pay As You Go learners purchase later parts when ready; there is no subscription or commitment to buy them.
Pay As You Go does not commit you to buying later parts. Part 1 is the first part of the course, not the full course. Read the refund policy before paying, and use the Chat Portal if you need help choosing.

Course access and lifetime support
You may take as long as you need to complete your course. Course access locks once the course is complete and the certificate has been issued. You receive lifetime support from the Skinart team.
Course refunds
You may request a course refund within 30 days of purchase. If you have done more than one lesson, you are not eligible for a refund under this policy. Logging in, accessing the course, or doing only one lesson does not by itself make you ineligible. This policy does not affect your applicable statutory rights.
Pay As You Go
Pay As You Go is flexible: pay for each next part only when you are ready. There is no obligation to purchase subsequent parts, and choosing Part 1 does not commit you to later payments. Part 1 is not the full course and does not by itself qualify you for the full-course certificate.
Equipment
Equipment is supplied only in South Africa and New Zealand. Check your selected offer: an equipment kit is not automatically included with every course.
