The Traditional Apprenticeship Myth (lie)

The traditional tattoo apprenticeship is often seen as the only way to enter the industry. While it's a valid path and sometimes required in certain places, it's not the only one.

Many aspiring tattoo artists feel discouraged by the Lies, barriers and gatekeeping in the industry.

At Certified Tattoo Academy, we believe in breaking down these barriers and providing alternative routes to success.

Our STORY:

the journey began with a deep passion for art and a commitment to revolutionize the tattoo experience. Growing up in an art gallery and inspired by his father's entrepreneurial spirit, Nando saw firsthand the struggles of artists and the need for a better tattoo experience. His transformative journey started after a poor experience at a renowned tattoo shop, which fueled his desire to create a more inclusive, supportive, and professional environment for both clients and artists.

Nando's breakthrough moment came during a tattoo business seminar, where he realized the importance of business structure and community within the tattoo industry. This epiphany led him to redesign the traditional tattoo shop model, focusing on client experience, artist development, and cutting-edge technology.
