It was absolutely amazing two weeks. I've learned the theory and ended up tattooing myself. What to add? Skillful and very friendly trainers. All in!
Just finished my 2 week course and it was amazing! From the beginning it was very relaxed but super informative. Learning about hygiene and skin anatomy to developing a steady hand and unique style!
I've just finished my 2 week course and it was the most interesting course I've attended. The whole process was amazing with the best support.
