frequently asked questions...
.... can´t find your question here? I´ll be happy to answer it if you email me at Dr.Kranzenstein@web.de
Do I have to meet certain requirements to become a tattoo artist?
- in most countries, tattoo artist ist not an officially trained profession
- Anyone who registers a tattooing business may practise the profession of tattoo artist. No certificate or other proof of qualification is required.
- however, the participants of the tattoo tutorial receive a CERTIFICATE for each part of the tutorial, which documents the participation in the tutorial and its contents (downloadable after passing a small exam)
What opportunities are there in general to learn how to tattoo and become a tattoo artist?
- full-time apprenticeship in a tattoo shop: duration 1 -3 years. Only very few tattoo shops offer this possibility at all, therefore it is very difficult to achieve an apprenticeship . Most shops charge a training fee of 5,000 to 20,000 US $, which must be paid at the beginning of the apprenticeship.
- weekly course: Some tattoo shops or private tattoo schools offer a crash course that runs for a week or a few days. These courses cost around 1,000 to 5,000 US $.
- Tattoo Tutorial online: can be done at home and at any time you like. Part I costs 99 US $
- Self-educational, without any professional guidance: does not cost anything, but most people give up very quickly due to the poor learning results.
What are the requirements to participate in the online tutorial?
- To watch the tutorial videos you need internet access and a computer, tablet or smartphone
- you will need tattoo equipment for practicing, which I will describe in detail in the tutorial
- There are no age restrictions
- You should be able to practice at least on hour per day
What is the structure of the tutorial like?
- the access to the tutorial is not limited in time. You can watch all videos as often and as long as you like
- The course is divided into three parts. Part I:Lining, Part II: Shading & Color blocking, Part III: Equipment and Sanitation
- In total, the Tutorial contains 113 lessons with over 600 minutes of video material. While tattooing I filmed myself with the head camera and commented and explained everything I do... so you really won't miss any tips and tricks
- In the free test access, you can only open those lessons marked with (TEST ACCESS)
- After purchasing the tutorial, you log into the same user interface, but can then also access the lessons marked with (PREMIUM).
