is this a self-guided course? is IT a live course? CAN I TAKE THIS COURSE IF I LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S.?
The MTC is a community-based fine-line tattoo course. The course consists of 14 weeks online classroom calls, and a 3 day in-person learning event in Denver, CO that takes place in the middle of the course, in which we dive into the entirety of the curriculum in a hands-on manner. The course also includes an online learning portal where course recordings, powerpoints, video tutorials and content, and homework assignments are shared.
Anyone worldwide is welcome to join this course. Please note that our call times are weekly at 5:30pm Mountain Time so you might consider what time that is in your time zone before signing up. All call recordings are shared in the student portal after the weekly calls so if you were in a different time zone you could watch weekly recordings, however I request al students to join the calls live as this is a community learning space and there is opportunity for live Q&A and teaching that benefits from us being together weekly on a live call.
All online course calls take place weekly on Tuesday evenings 5:30PM - 7:30PM Mountain Time. The course start date and in-person learning date will depend on when the course is being taught each year.

The in-person event is a 3 day in-person teaching and practical training event. Students will travel to and gather in Denver, CO for a 3-day intensive teaching and learning event. During this time, we will cover the entirety of the course and students have the opportunity to practice and lock in everything they have learned and practice with supervision. The in-person event also includes a full shop tour and explanation of how to best set up a body art establishment per health department regulations. Students will also have the opportunity to shadow full start to finish tattoo sessions with live, real-time clients.
We highly encourage students attend the in-person event. In-person and hands on learning is crucial to the success of our students' learning and practice.
The in-person events take place after Week 6 of the course.

This course is geared towards students with little to no experience. We have had many tattooers join the course previously who were at a beginner level experience and absolutely loved the course and thought it was very beneficial to them. This course also covers business management, taxes, finances, personal development, breathwork and other helpful tools and teachings that are relevant no matter your experience level. Students also get access to guest speakers who teach on color and shading, finances and bookkeeping, human design, trauma’s manifestation in the body, and more.
Our course offers a truly holistic approach to tattooing and entrepreneurship. We don't want you to just learn to tattoo, we want you to thrive in your business, your relationship to self, and your personal and work life balance.
This course takes a holistic and integrated approach to not only tattooing, but to running a business and creating a livelihood. A truly successful career is not possible without diving into self, breath, beliefs, and boundaries. It is our belief that the more you learn about and integrate all pars of yourself, the more successful, abundant, and at peace you will be within your business and life.
Tattooing is an extremely intimate act for tattooer and client alike, and our approach honors, celebrates, and nurtures that intimacy in and out of the studio.
