Professional Tattoo Training – South East England
Our studio offers professional tattoo training designed for beginners and developing artists who want to learn tattooing properly through practical, hands-on experience.The training is led by Viktor Dimitrov, a highly skilled tattoo artist with over 25 years of professional experience in the tattoo industry. His focus is on teaching the real techniques and professional working methods required to build a strong foundation as a tattoo artist.Unlike large classroom courses, this training is delivered one-to-one or in very small groups, allowing close supervision, individual guidance, and careful attention to detail throughout the learning process.The course focuses on the complete tattoo process — from understanding a client’s idea and preparing the design, to stencil placement and creating a tattoo on skin. Students gain practical knowledge about tattoo equipment, needle types, sizes and configurations, and learn how different machines perform, from traditional coil machines to modern rotary machines.A strong emphasis is placed on hands-on practice, helping students develop confidence and control while learning essential techniques such as clean line work, smooth shading and colour packing.Each student progresses differently, which is why the training is adapted to suit the individual’s level, learning pace and artistic direction. The goal is not only to teach technique, but to ensure that students fully understand the tattooing process and develop the discipline and skills needed to continue improving.Based in the South East of England, the studio offers high-level tattoo training without the need to travel into London, providing a professional and focused environment for learning the craft.The aim of the course is to provide students with the solid practical knowledge and technical foundation needed to begin their journey as tattoo artists.

"Vik took me on as an apprentice in January 2019. I had worked a front desk for a few months and been tattooed several times but now Vik was going to teach not only how to become a tattooer, but also a better artist, and how to work clean, safe and respectfully. Vik taught me how to manage customers, my work flow, my tattoo technique, without forcing any styles on me. Being able to watch a veteran tattooer work fast and to a high standard was inspirational. I now work around the UK still remembering all the vital information Vik has taught me. From the very fundamentals to the advanced shading and experiments Vik taught me I still use and will always use."

"I searched long and far for a tattoo shop where I can practice. Upon first stepping into Know How Tattoo I could instantly sense this wasn’t some regular tattoo shop but that the atmosphere maintained here was much more jolly and uplifting. I found Know How to be a positive learning environment with knowledgeable instruction. Viktor is extremely professional and also very relaxed and friendly. Thanks to his guidance, experience and attitude now I am fully accomplished tattoo artist with own tattoo shop. I run my own bussiness for 3 years now. The positive energy and environment at Know How was nothing short of amazing! If I had to do it again, I would still choose Viktor and Know How tattoo shop! Thank you mate!"
