Thank you Bex for writing such a review.
I really enjoyed working with you personally. It was very productive to have face to face in our classes.
I am very grateful for Boria’s support. He is warm and encouraging, but also very practical and was able to focus on the important aspects of my development so that I didn’t get bogged down or confused. He gave me some fun and useful exercises to get my ideas flowing. Then he gave me great feedback on how to bring those ideas to life. He also had some useful exercises to help my line work and has a way of assessing skills to make sure I wasn’t missing any of the fundamentals. I feel like I have a more well rounded drawing process and am looking forward to returning to learn more about the social media aspect of marketing.

Hey Arta school!
My name is Linnan Zhou.
I'd love to share my feedback about the course that I finished in November.
The ARTA Group Tattoo Course has been an incredibly enriching experience. The structured approach guided me smoothly from learning basic tattooing techniques to designing my own flash and tattooing on a real person. Throughout the process, Larisa and Boria provided detailed feedback on our projects and shared valuable tips on tattooing techniques and career development as a tattoo artist. I learned so much from them and also from the amazing classmates in the course. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a professional start to their tattooing career!”

Student Saffron Raymondbhattford and her final tattoo project:
Tasking this program really helped me piece together what I want for myself. I’ve had many different paths I’ve wanted to take and explore, so many that I got a little stuck, but being able to sit down and use my full creativity to draw anything I want and make it mean something to someone is a really good feeling. I’m so excited to move forward and learn more from the teachers at ARTA.

Preet is beyond stoked to work on her first flash during the last week of the course at Arta tattoo school. Can't wait to see what kind of ink-spiration she conjures up!

ARTA was hands down one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while to help set me up for the career I want. They gave me the tools and the confidence to put myself and my work out there and helped me learn how to start marketing myself and my art in thoughtfully curated ways. I was constantly challenged to do art everyday which is something I had difficulty before starting the program but have continued to do everyday since finishing. I definitely recommend this program to anyone thinking about a career in tattoo artistry.
