CPD accredited fine line tattoo training in the heart of Greater Manchester. Whether you're a complete beginner or an existing artist looking to specialise, we have a course that takes you where you want to go.
Fine line tattooing is one of the fastest-growing specialisms in the UK tattoo industry. It uses single needles or tight needle groupings to create precise, delicate work: thin lines, intricate detail, botanical designs, portraits, and minimalist pieces that simply cannot be achieved with traditional tattooing techniques.
The style is hugely in demand in Manchester and across Greater Manchester. Clients searching for fine line artists online convert at high rates, and established artists in the style are typically booked out weeks in advance.
Our Manchester courses teach fine line from the ground up: needle science, machine setup for precision work, hand speed and pressure control, and the design principles that make fine line work last well on skin.
You've been staring at fine line tattoos on Instagram for months. You know this is what you want to do, or something to add to what you already do. But you're not sure where to start, whether you're good enough, or whether a course will actually get you to a point where you can charge clients.
We hear this from almost everyone who walks through our door in Manchester. And almost everyone who completes one of our courses takes a paying booking within weeks.
Both courses run monthly at our Manchester location. Both are CPD accredited, include your tattoo kit, and include live model tattooing. The difference is where you're starting from.

"I came in with zero experience and left with the confidence to take on my first paying clients. The small class size meant I had the instructor's attention all day. I'd never have got that anywhere else."
"The 10-day course was everything I needed to change careers completely. I was working in an office six months ago. Now I'm fully booked and turning clients away. Manchester made this possible."
"As a PMU artist transitioning into tattooing, I wasn't sure the course would suit me. It was perfect. The instructors understood exactly where I was coming from and tailored feedback to my specific situation."
