Mission Statement

     At Black Label Tattoo School, we believe that tattooing is an art that must be treated with respect and care. Our vision is to instill these values into each individual to pass through our school, so that each tattoo they in turn create is a credit to our industry. We envision a tattooing community full of artists who are constantly learning and consistently creating outstanding work.

     Our mission is to take burgeoning artists through an intensive program that prepares them for a career, both from a craft perspective and a business perspective. We are committed to teaching the fundamentals of tattooing such as composition, placement, and line-work in order to provide a foundation upon which artists can build. Our program will take artists from traditional to realism and from blackwork to full color, in such a way that organically grows their skillset.

     Our core values encompass respect for one another and our art, dedication to daily progress, commitment to our clients, and pride in our tattoo work.

Our Goal:

     We strive to provide the necessary tools for growing artists to excel in an entry level position as a tattoo artist as well as into their career.

How we plan to reach this goal:

• By providing well rounded knowledge of the tattoo industry focusing largely on business organization, customer service, and application/design
• Supervised hands-on instruction
• Lastly, providing quality equipment in order for students to reach their full
