UK Locations

A two-year tattoo artist apprenticeship serving the whole of the UK from a purpose-built studio in Great Yarmouth. With monthly studio days, apprentices travel in from across England — find your nearest location below.

Norwich

Norfolk · 35 minutes away

Norwich is the closest major city to the Great Yarmouth studio, so the tattoo apprenticeship here is an easy daily commute. If you're searching for a tattoo apprenticeship in Norwich and want real studio hours over two years rather than a short two-week course, this programme runs a short drive or train ride away in Great Yarmouth — with the same strict hygiene training, machine work and portfolio building you'd expect from a Norwich-based studio.

Lowestoft

Suffolk · 40 minutes away

Apprentices from Lowestoft attend the 10-day introduction then return for one supervised studio day a month — a realistic two-year path to becoming a tattoo artist without giving up your week to a full-time course.

London

Greater London · 2 hours 30 minutes away

A tattoo apprenticeship in London is hard to land — most are informal and unpaid, and the few paid courses run for just two weeks. This Great Yarmouth programme is a genuine alternative: two full years of supervised studio time, reachable from London in under three hours by train or car. Stay locally for the 10-day introduction, then travel in for one monthly studio day.
