Learn To Do Tattoos

5 Ways To Learn To Do Tattoos

How did we learn to do tattoos and get to where we are today?

We are a family run training academy of 6 tattoo artists that earn their living from this amazing art form.

The founder Gary has more that 20 years experience and has trained over 1000 artists from all over the world. He decided to learn to tattoo and started his career in this sector in the year 2001 by opening his first tattoo studio in Ballito, KZN. After just 8 months he had opened his second tattoo studio and then another and another. back then it was not easy to find experienced tattoo artists and Gary had only one option, to teach.

Seeing the need in the industry for people to learn to tattoo, Gary developed our own unique tattoo training courses, from the necessity to train a young art student into a competent tattooer in the shortest amount of time. Back then the only available training method was a 3 year apprenticeship that involved thousands of hours just shop minding, cleaning and making coffee. By that stage many tattoo artists and even shop owners had learnt many bad habits which were being passed on to the apprentices working in their shops.

Gary organised all the technical skills into 36 modules of intense studies, as tattooing is more than just having knowledge about how to do the tattoos but more importantly training the hands, eyes and feet to do the process smoothly and efficiently.

After just 6 years Gary had opened 15 tattoo studios and had 30 artists working for him. Gary realized his true passion was for teaching so he started Skinart Tattoo Training. With the knowledge he had in the tattoo industry and his advanced skills as a software developer. He created this website, now 14 years later and he has traveled the world teaching 100s of people and he never gets bored of it. His wife and eldest son are currently doing courses in New Zealand and his youngest son, Zane and Gary are currently doing courses here in South Africa.

We have trained students that have opened studios all over South Africa, United Kingdom, Angola, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia and others. So whether  you want to open your own business or just earn extra money or even just explore your creative side with a new art form, our course is for you!
