ESTP - Europäische Schule für Tattoo & Piercing

To place the stencil perfectly is as important as knowing which needles to use for the tattoo.

A wrong placement can destroy the composition completely and turn a great idea into a bad tattoo.

Learning how to tattoo is way more than have a machine in your hands. It starts with the little lessons.

Today’s Q&A: What does it really take to begin the path toward becoming a professional tattoo artist?

Not everyone starts as a “natural artist” — but yes, drawing skills and a basic understanding of art are essential if you want to pursue tattooing professionally.

To apply for any of our courses, you’ll need to present a drawing portfolio. We’re not looking for perfection.

We’re looking for commitment, consistency, and motivation — proof that you’re willing to learn, practice, and take the craft seriously.

Tattooing is a long-term journey, not a shortcut.
