Valley Roots Studio proudly offers an expansive 5-day Beginner Fine Line Tattoo Training. Our course is intended for individuals who have no tattoo experience, and are seeking to learn all the fundamentals necessary to begin their journey as a Tattoo Artist.

In this course, you will learn Britt’s signature soft and detailed tattoo style, with an emphasis on designing, technique, and care. We will also go into detail about business set up, sanitation, client booking, digital drawing, and any other need-to-know basics.

We will discuss the steps to become fully licensed in the State of WA, and only a Blood Borne Pathogen Certificate is required in order to complete your live model on the final course day (see “Enrollment Requirements” below).

Although mastering tattooing is a continuous journey, we strive to provide the most thorough fundamentals course so that you can start your new career with confidence and offer lifelong mentorship.

A Certificate of Completion will be provided at the end of class; you MUST attend all days of the course to obtain your Certification of Completion.
