Master Black & Grey Tattooing with Military-Grade Instruction

 

This isn’t another tattoo course built on vague advice and recycled techniques.

This is structured, disciplined instruction designed to take experienced tattoo artists to the next level of black and grey mastery.

 

Before teaching tattooing, I spent 12 years as an instructor in the UK Army, training soldiers in some of the most demanding disciplines there are—sniper instructor, weapons handling, battlefield casualty instructor, map reading, fieldcraft, tactics and ground sign awareness.

I taught at both Sniper School and the Army Foundation College Harrogate, where clarity, precision, and repeatable results weren’t optional—they were mission-critical.

I also still teach military skills to the Army reserves for the Military academy Sandhurst.

 

That background shapes everything about how I teach tattooing.

 

You won’t get guesswork.

You won’t get artistic mysticism.

You’ll get clear systems, proven methods, and exact reasoning behind every decision—from tone control and contrast to needle choice, hand speed, depth, and long-term skin behaviour.

 

I also hold civilian teaching qualifications, including a Bachelor’s degree in teaching the adult learning sector, meaning this course is built for how adults actually learn, not how influencers perform on social media.

 

If you already tattoo and you’re frustrated with:

 

• Muddy black and grey

• Inconsistent healing

• Lack of control over contrast and realism

• Or feeling like you’ve hit a plateau despite years in the craft

 

This training is for you.

 

I’ll teach you how to see differently, work with intention, and execute with confidence—using the same instructional principles that turn pressure-heavy environments into repeatable success.

 

This is not about talent.

It’s about standards, systems, and mastery.

 

Welcome to the next step in your black and grey journey.
