Tattooing Academy
In the course "Hands on Brands" you had to create your own brand. It‘s necessary to find an idea for a special product or service. Then analyzing the competitors. The new brand will be established and finally designed. The aim is highlighting a brand in the actually competition.
This time I thought about the missing education for tattoo artists. You can learn it by doing and in tattoo shops, but it doesn't exist in schools. In schools you could learn about the tattoo history, hygienic standards and different art of tattooing. A student will get a certificate. Maybe a positive side-effect is, that really bad tattoo shops will close in the future, because they can't show this professional education to their customers.
On the upcoming sections you will see just a few extracts.
