SAFETY
FIRST
A PROMISE TO EVERY LEARNER

Online learning supports knowledge.
It never replaces the room.

Do not tattoo another person unless you are legally permitted, appropriately trained and working in a hygienic environment that meets local health regulations. Practise drawing on paper and high-quality synthetic skin before progressing to supervised work on human skin.
