This program is not a typical course, it is designed to resemble a professional, work based apprenticeship. Our goal is to provide a structured and immersive learning experience that prepares aspiring artists for the realities of working in a professional tattoo studio.
To ensure the highest quality of mentorship and individual attention, we are limiting enrollment to five students per session. Admission is selective, and all applicants must first be accepted through our application process before enrollment. Please only submit an application if you are fully prepared to commit to The Nouvelle Collective.
