Student Kit & Studio Access

All students will receive a complete kit with everything needed to get started, including a high-quality tattoo machine. In addition to the machine, students will receive our staff’s most recommended products, from pigments to cartridges and everything in between.

Students will also have full access to all of our preferred tools while working in the studio. This allows them to familiarize themselves with our recommended products, service setup, and professional workflow.

Comprehensive Training Manual

Over the last five years, we have developed in-depth training manuals covering everything needed to start a career in the cosmetic and fine line tattooing industry.

Unlike other trainings, our proprietary manuals have been fully vetted and professionally published. This education is exclusive to our students and not available for purchase.

*All manuals are owned and copyrighted by Taylynn Ball and Savanna Miller.

All introductory classes are four days long (Monday–Thursday or Tuesday–Friday). We also offer in-depth masterclasses ranging from one to two days for established artists looking to refine their technique.

Classes run from 10:00 AM – 4:30 PM or 11:00 AM – 5:30 PM each day and include a 35-minute lunch break.

All trainings are hands-on with live demonstrations and models. This is a performance-based training, and students who refuse to work on live models will not receive a certificate of completion.

Students must provide proof of First Aid, CPR and Blood Born Pathogen certifications before attending class. Certification is not offered by Form Collective.

Introductory training requires an additional four days of shadowing after completing the initial class. This apprenticeship-style education allows mentors to ensure students are progressing in their skills before certification. Shadow days must be completed within six months of training.
