Testimonials
"I took Christina's beginners course and I am so glad I did! It was hands down one of the most in-depth, informative classes I've ever taken. Not only was Christina attentive, but she was also articulate in every aspect over the entire course. She started off with a solid foundation teaching us the basics, how to use our iPads to create designs, and hands-on training with our models. She showed us all of her tips on how to run a successful tattoo business and answered all of our questions. One thing I love is that she's always available to offer help and answer questions well after you've taken her course. I'm 8 months in and I've never been happier with my career. Take her course, you won't regret it!"
"Taking your Intro Into Tattoos course back in April was one of the best decisions I made for myself, to say the least. I learned so much and was really motivated and moved by your story and hustle. You gave me the tools I need to succeed in tattooing; from branding, skills, and how to run my business. Even as I am out on my own tattooing, I am still able to turn to you for advice and your expertise. I can't say THANK YOU enough and thank you for still cheering me on. "
