Never before has a tattoo learning experience like this existed!

 

I am thrilled about the prospect of working together and look forward to learning how we can support your goal of becoming a professional tattoo artist.

At Earth Altar Tattoo Studio, we're dedicated to serving clients who value quality, communication, community, transparency, and — above all else — are just plain excited about being a fully self-supporting, thriving tattoo artist.

If my 15+ years of industry experience have taught me anything, it's that people matter, and picking the right ones to invest in is worth its weight in gold. Your investment in yourself is equal to our investment in your future, and our goal is to support you every step of the way.

It will give you a safe, well-rounded, and kind learning environment to become the creative entrepreneur you were always made to be.
