Do not support those trained

Do not do training with these people. £650 wasted because Central Bedfordshire Council will not issue licence. They do not support you, ignore repeated messages and calls, . The two day course is not sufficient enough to pierce correctly learning correct sizing and covering enough piercings.Beware!!!

great experience!

I went to get an industrial and two earlobe piercings by a trainee on the piercing course, she did a great job :) Everyone was lovely and nice, and the vibe of the place was relaxing. I would definitely recommend.

Great Experience with Piercing Course

I recently had my helix, third lobes, and conch piercings done through the Tattoo & Piercing Academy and I’m honestly so happy with the results! The staff were friendly, professional, and made the whole experience really smooth and comfortable.

I came in as part of the piercing course and was impressed by the level of hygiene, skill, and care that went into each piercing. Everything was clearly explained and I felt at ease the entire time.

Highly recommended

Thanks again!

Nostril piercings

Yesterday I went with my friend to get a nostril piercing. We both had a great experience with lovely trainees who were very professional. The piercings look great and would definitely recommend to anyone!!

I just finished a two weeks tattoo course with Jamie and couldn’t be any more happy about it. I believed I was knowledgeable already but I’ve learned so many interesting things related to tattooing, had plenty of practice on skins, fruits and live models. I still have a long way to go but can recommend the place as it gives me solid start and knowledge.

Learning Tattooing - Intense apprenticeship

Tattooing Course - I was very sceptical about these courses! I have first hand knowledge of some which just sit you down with a cheap machine and have you draw on fake skin for 2 weeks and tell you to make sure you have a social media presence then print out a random certificate and that's that! However after tattooing a friend and he got an infection it shattered my confidence. I explored online and found this course. Had a discussion with a guy called Alan and went for it. Loved it! I was genuinely gutted leaving! I had an amazing experience! my tutor/instructor Jaimie was amazing! He is now a close friend! Extremely talented artist with 15+ years of experience, his folio is what I would expect from a successful London based tattoo artist who has ran studio's, there was no cutting corners. I have achieved modules on Blood Borne Viruses, understanding Hepatitas A,B,C,D as well as HIV. I have been ritualistically trained in hygiene, via set up, during tattooing, and break down after words. The machinery we used was all mid range as well so wasn't cheap 'amazon' rubbish. Most importantly though, I know how to set up a business from applying for 'special treatments' licencing to health and safety acts, planning permission, appropriate tools such as foot pedal or elbow operated sinks etc how to and who is best for removal of contaminated waste contracts etc. The only thing they didn't do was teach us bricklaying to build a shop never mind retrofit it for a tattoo practice lol. I have an academic background in the arts so was already confident but this course levelled my game up 10 fold! I know what to work on before attempting to move forward and I am confident I will have a really successful career in this industry. If you are reading this, this course takes itself seriously but is approachable and accessible for all, it will cover an artist who is simply a hobbyist, wants to work in a studio or start their own practice and is worth every penny. They also supported me with accommodation as I travelled 500+ miles, which was very helpful in keeping my costs low. Trustpilot simply doesn't have enough stars for this team but if it was a 100 stars they would get a 100 from me. Best investment in myself I have ever achieved and I have a feckin masters degree! Just do it! Jaimie my teacher also learned from this school at the start of his career, they have been established since 1990...They really know what they are doing.....LOL As I am sitting writing this I just got interrupted with DPD delivering my KillerInk supplies.....Some Proper Green Soup and Nitrile Gloves LOL. I'm really proud to be considered one of Jaimie's apprentices and could not rate this course any more. Brilliant service. They are genuinely the real deal.
Also (this isn't part of the course and is based on your willingness and your teachers relationship) But I left the course with 5 tattoos, I had everyone on the course ink me and Jaimie did an amazing Swallow on my leg. If your worried about money I probably left the course with about £500's worth of free tattoos lol I was like a kid in Toy's R Us. If you think it's expensive, it really isn't trust me either join now or start saving. You won't regret it.

Amazing tattoo course

Just completed the tattoo course and it was amazing. It provides everything extensive knowledge on tattooing safety, rules, what requirements are to open a studio etc... And most importantly it also gives a very good practical experience, both on fake skin and live models, under the supervision of a professional tattoo artist. This is great for anyone who wants to start tattooing or want to improve their techniques.

Fantastic Piercing Course

Had a fantastic experience, the training was thorough, professional, and packed with hands-on practice across a variety of piercings. My tutor Leah was absolutely lovely, supportive, knowledgeable, and a joy to learn from! 😁

Awesome energy

Everyone at the studio has such awesome energy. From reserving a spot to getting 3 new piercings. For free too. Definitely would do again and worth the trip out.

I attended this event to model a nose piercing and second lobe piercings. The lady who ran it was lovely and the students were too! They created a comfortable and welcoming environment and when each student performed a piercing everyone watched and clapped to hype them up it was so wholesome. Would definitely recommend:)

it was absolutely amazing I have really enjoyed every minute of it especially my first week their, really did fill me in with all the information I needed and especially Lol and Anthony were very helpful throughout it all !! I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who needs the guidance to get themselves started and to definitely make sure they know everything that I have covered on my theory week as I didn’t expect that much going wrong while tattooing if I didn’t get this course sorted.

I booked in as a model to have my tragus and nose pierced. The trainer and her students made me feel very welcome and explained each procedure to me and continually made sure I was ok. The environment was very clean and sterile at all times. I will definitely be returning for more piercings
