Introduction:

The "Tattoo Intro Course" at Handshake Studio is designed to introduce participants to the operation of a tattoo machine. It's important to note that this course does not provide participants with the skills required for actual tattooing. Handshake Studio disclaims any responsibility if participants choose to tattoo individuals after completing the course. For those with a strong interest in pursuing a career in tattooing, we encourage considering our "Basic Tattooing Course" at Handshake Studio, followed by the "Master Class." It's essential to understand that these courses are not a replacement for an apprenticeship at a tattoo studio. We recommend participants seek an apprenticeship as their primary avenue for learning tattoo techniques. These courses at Handshake Studio serve as a supplementary educational resource.
