Where exactly in Dublin are the courses held?

Our Dublin training venue is located in Dublin City Centre, easily accessible by Dart, Luas, and all major bus routes. Full venue details including the exact address and directions are sent to you with your booking confirmation.

How many students are in each Dublin class?

We cap every class at a maximum of 6 students. You will receive direct, personal feedback on your technique throughout the day from your instructor — this is not a large training room setup.

Will I tattoo on real people during the course?

Yes. Live model sessions are included in both courses. Tattooing on real skin builds the muscle memory and confidence that synthetic practice cannot replicate. All models are pre-screened and fully consented.

How soon can I start taking paying clients after the Dublin course?

Many graduates take their first paying client within weeks of completing the course. You leave with your CPD certificate, a professional kit, and portfolio pieces. The accreditation is what most venues, insurance providers, and local councils require before you can practise.

Do you offer courses for artists who already do fine line but want to improve?

Yes, the 4-Day Masterclass is designed for this. Whether you want to refine technique, work on consistency, or add botanical or script styles, the course content is adapted to where you are and where you want to go.

Student Reviews

What our students say

★★★★★

"I came in with zero experience and left with the confidence to take on my first paying clients. The small class size meant I received direct, personal attention all day. Incredible course."

Sarah M., Dublin

★★★★★

"The 10-day course was everything I needed to change careers completely. I was working in an office six months ago. Now I am fully booked and turning clients away. Dublin made this possible."

James T., Dublin

★★★★★

"As a PMU artist transitioning into tattooing, I was not sure the course would suit me. It was perfect. The instructors understood exactly where I was coming from and tailored feedback to my situation."
