I'M READY FOR THIS!

Are you searching for a longer and more thorough training for ParaMedical & Restorative Artistry??

 
And hearing different stories from everyone you ask?


What's missing is the proven expert - multiple award winning, art school educated and someone who KNOWS what it's like to have no nipples as well as 'botched' nipple tattoos.

 

*Training Based in what the client truly needs, our training is thorough and advanced*

Sounds Like alot of work....

Sure is!  Learning the trade of tattooing is NOT easy - but nothing good ever is!

If you want to be a tattooer worth his weight in gold, build a strong foundation.  Work harder, be better!

"Did you know that there is no trade designation for tattooing or even for teaching tattooing, there has been no standardized training - until now...
A.R.T. created the very first standardized Areola training system 

*Of course we're being copied, but we can never be duplicated ;)

But still - when you search for Restorative Tattoo courses - there are so many to choose from... how do you know if they're serious? 

What if they aren't the true experts who can give you everything you seek...

 

Or worse yet… you’ve already tried a few courses and are still lacking confidence, mainly because you don't feel like you've learned enough to do the great work you know you are capable of.

You’re in the right place!

Without regulations for trainers, many lack the decades of hands-on required to teach you what you need to know - because tattooing REALLY can’t be learned online. 

No more than dentistry or even hairdressing can be learned online.  Why should tattooing be different

What makes A.R.T. School so effective is the decades of experience specializing in this work, art school education and serious about raising standards.

At ARTSCHOOL.ink, you’ll get mentorship that helps build your fundamental tattoo skills and a great trainer who is just as dedicated as you are…

…and you’ll join hundreds of professionals who worked with us and now enjoy making a positive impact on the lives of many.

the A.R.T. Method has ALWAYS had a mentorship that starts before training and continues after training.

That's what made us special - because we were the first - and it works.  It works so well that others have followed suit and that's how we've helped raise standards!

It's alot of work, and it's totally worth it!

Stacie-Rae

Hey! I’m Stacie Rae. I’ve been in love with tattooing since getting a 'jailhouse style' tattoo at 14 and started hanging around the local tattoo shop.  I  went to art school at 18, and I’ve been in love ever since.

Tattooing scars since 1998, it’s been my mission to raise the standards of the industry for paramedical tattoos since cancer came into my life in 2006.

Having been there myself, I can confidently say no one knows more about breast cancer and scar tattooing than me - As a subject matter expert, my mission in life is to help breast cancer survivors get great work. I do that by helping tattooists do great work! The key to mastery is mentorship so we created a program ANYONE can join!

Nicole Rizzuto

I’m Nicole, a licensed Tattoo artists and Certified Surgical Technologist. I started my traditional tattoo career at the age of 22 and transitioned to the medical field after my own battle with kidney cancer.

As a surgical tech, I assist with hundred of surgeries. My love for medicine and my tattoo skills brought me to the path of my current medical tattooing career. As I grew in my skills, I saw that the access to professional training with both medical and tattoo education was lacking.

Luckily, I connected with Stacie-Rae and ART and found great guidance for tattooing. We came to be aware that there was no great education of the medical side for artists.

Teaching the curriculum live in the style of college level teaching sparked the flame of my love for teaching again. To know that artists will have professional level training with in depth subject matter is a industry game changer.

It is my honor to help other artists who may not have access to give them the opportunity to elevate their education.

Becky Barker


I’m Becky Barker from the UK. I apprenticed as a tattoo artist in Micky Sharpz old shop in Birmingham in 2008, and have worked in various studio throughout the UK. I moved into medical tattooing in 2019, and quickly realized how much the training available was lacking.

Then I discovered A.R.T and Stacie-Rae was kind enough to become my mentor. We created the worlds first survey to determine how poor tattooing can lead to detrimental mental health in clients.

This led me to be selected as a speaker at TedX Malvern in 2021, which then got promoted to an official TED talk and has been viewed 1.5 million times! My mission is to protect tattooing by bringing awareness to the need of standards in our work. I am passionate about helping artists build a good foundational knowledge of tattooing, so that they can consistently provide great results long term.

Stacie-Rae

Hey! I’m Stacie Rae. I’m one of those “been in tattoo shops since I was 14, and went to art school at 18” kind of people… andI’ve been in love ever since. Tattooing scars since 1998, it’s been my mission to raise the standards of the industry for medical tattoos since cancer came into my life in 2006 and I took a mastectomy tattoo seminar in 2007.

I can confidently say no one knows more about breast cancer and scar tattooing than me, mostly because I’ve been there myself - As a subject matter expert, my mission in life is to help breast cancer survivors get great work. I do that by helping tattooists do great work!

The key is mastery, and mentorship from a master is the way to get there.

Nicole Rizzuto

I’m Nicole, a licensed Tattoo artists and Certified Surgical Technologist. I started my traditional tattoo career at the age of 22 and transitioned to the medical field after my own battle with kidney cancer.

As a surgical tech, I assist with hundred of surgeries including breast reconstructions. My love for medicine and my tattoo skills brought me to the path of my current medical tattooing career. As I grew in my skills as a medical tattoo artist, the access to professional training with both medical and tattoo education was lacking.

Luckily, I connected with Stacie Rae from ART and found great guidance for tattooing. We came to be aware that there was no real education of the medical side for artists who want to work with scar tissue or breast reconstruction clients.

My experience in the OR was the perfect foundation to create the “Breast Surgeries” course for Artschool.ink. Teaching the curriculum live in the style of college level teaching sparked the flame of my love for medicine again. To know that artists will have professional level training with in depth subject matter all related to breast surgery is a industry game changer.

It is my honor to help other artists who may not have access to medical training now give them the opportunity to elevate their education.
