JOIN THE COLLECTIVE
Included:
The Nouvelle Collective is designed for aspiring tattoo artists who want hands-on training, industry insight, and the tools to launch their career. This two and a half-week immersive program combines technical education with creative development, mentorship, and modern marketing strategies. Investment: $4000 (payment plans available via klarna and/or affirm)
The Nouvelle Collective is a new approach to tattoo apprenticeships / courses. In this 2.5 week intensive, you’ll get to learn all the ins and outs of tattooing, tattoo business strategies and how to properly market yourself.
But what sets us apart? This collective is a beautiful blend of a traditional apprenticeship + modern day course. We embrace all styles of tattooing and will go over every style to help you find your groove. Some traditional apprenticeships can take 1-3 years, and we get that you might not have that time. Some “courses” are only 1-2 days, of which you can’t learn much in that time.
This 2.5 week intensive has a little bit of everything you need to get started. The 2 week schedule will have a great mix of hands-on work, remote studying and visual learning. Here’s the thing, like we said before this isn’t your typical course. We will still be treating this as a professional work-like apprenticeship. We will only have 5 spots open per session and will have to accept your application before proceeding.
Applications will be open from November 1st 2025 - December 20th 2025 for our first session with acceptance letters being sent out as applications are approved and accepted. If all 5 slots are filled prior to December 20th, we will make an announcement. Tuition is due before starting which is January 2026. Investment is $4000 with payment plans available if need be.
Please be prepared with a portfolio to share and bring all your good vibes! We are so so excited to work with you all as we have received so many inquiries about apprenticeships and more. Message or email us with any questions you may have.
