LEARN TO TATTOO WITH PEACOCK’S TATTOO
WHY BECOME A TATTOO ARTIST AT PEACOCK’S TATTOO?
Peacock’s Tattoo has many homegrown tattoo artists working in its studio, a fact that we take great pride in! Many of our artists started with zero tattooing experience but had strong art portfolios and an attitude of dedication to learning the craft. Our friendly studio environment and unique progressive mentoring methods expedite progress and maximize success. At Peacock’s Tattoo, we develop our apprentices into talented stand-alone industry professionals who contribute to the tattoo community.
We get to know our apprentices, learn about what makes them tick and where their interests and skills lie and initiate evolving discussions about what they want to achieve. Learning the art of tattooing isn’t the quickest process. We take a holistic approach to ensure all our artists understand and are competent in the fundamentals of linework, blackwork, packing, shading, dot work, and all combinations of techniques that produce an outstanding tattoo artist. We do expect all apprentices to master the fundamentals of all practices to a good standard so that they can undertake any tattoo independently.
