-
Aspiring tattoo artists who feel called to create art that’s both beautiful and meaningful
Artists who are drawn to fineline tattoos and want to master precision, flow, and gentle technique
Permanent make-up artists wanting to add fineline/tiny tattoos to their services
Creatives who’ve always dreamed of tattooing but don’t know where to start
Those who value intentional, mindful artistry—where connection and energy matter as much as the art itself
People who want to learn in a warm, encouraging, and down-to-earth way
Artists who dream of building a brand and business that feels fulfilling, aligned, soulful, and sustainable
Anyone ready to turn their love for art and human connection into a meaningful career
-
You get to create art that lives and breathes with the people who wear it — a lasting expression of connection and meaning.
Every day brings new stories, new faces, new canvases – no two tattoos or clients are ever the same – and you get to turn those stories into art that they’ll carry with them forever.
You have the freedom to build a career that aligns with your lifestyle — creative, flexible, and self-directed.
Tattooing allows you to make a living through your art, doing something deeply fulfilling and personal.
You can shape your own path — from studio artist to guest spots, travel, or even owning your own space one day.
You become part of a community of artists, storytellers, and healers who help others express who they are.
The tattoo world continues to grow and evolve — it’s a thriving, ever-expanding industry with limitless potential and lucrative income (experienced artists can make $150-300+ per hour).
Most of all, it’s a way to connect art, energy, and human experience — to create something sacred, one piece at a time.

This course goes in depth with tattoo technique, business logistics, and branding, but also goes beyond. It’s largely about cultivating intention, presence, and the energy you bring to your work — because that’s what truly sets an artist apart. You’ll learn not just how to create beautiful tattoos, but how to create meaningful experiences that your clients feel on a deeper level. When you approach tattooing in this way, you naturally attract the right people, build lasting relationships, and grow a business that feels aligned with who you are. Enrolling in the course also unlocks special student discounts on my Tattoo Artist Business & Branding Kits, along with options for mentorship and support in building your brand.
INVESTMENT: $750 paid in-full or easy payment plans available.

“My experience with Kristen’s intentional tattooing course was truly incredible. She’s really passionate about her work and her teaching style is so inspiring. Best part: this is not a typical, traditional tattooing course. Kristen teaches meaning, intention, and mindfulness—a whole new perspective behind ink and skin. Not only did she inspire me during the course, but she’s also been a source of support and encouragement ever since.”

I learned tattooing on my own, so I understand the challenges and the longing for guidance when you’re first starting out. This course was born from that experience — a way to share what I’ve learned and help others step into their own artistry with confidence and intention. Watching students fall in love with tattooing and grow into this craft that transformed my own life has been one of my greatest joys. It would be an honor to guide you :)

I have always been into art & design and have always always always been creating in some form. I was in an art academy in high school, taking classes like fine art, drawing, graphic design, photography, etc. This is the first time I mentioned “it would be dope to be a tattoo artist” — but then I never talked about it again for about 10 years. In 2019 I came across a tattoo shop, Karma House (in Bali) on instagram. They were doing ceremonial tattoos and I thought it was so beautiful and sacred, unlike anything I’d seen or experienced in the tattoo world. It opened my mind to a whole new world of possibilities – a bridge between human connection, healing, and artistry – and I immediately grabbed my sketchbook and wrote down that I was going to become an intentional tattoo artist + any steps I could think of to get there. I started getting ads on instagram for stick and poke tattoo kits so I bought one, did one on my toe, and then all my friends started asking for them (god bless ‘em). It turned into a business — tattooing out of my van — that organically grew over a few years. I eventually switched to the tattoo machine, started making 6 figures, and opened my own studio. I’ve gotten so many cool opportunities and experiences, like being able to travel with tattooing, and even getting to tattoo some of my favorite artists. I have endless gratitude because I truly never thought I would make a career or living from art. From the start it has always been equally about the tattoo experience as it is about the art itself. It’s the greatest honor to get to hold space and be a part of so many people’s journeys and life stories – and so cool + humbling to know they are carrying that art with them forever.
