Apprenticeships through Norristown Tattoo Company require a contract, as well as a fee to maintain enrollment. The fees are as follows:

• Standard Tattoo Apprenticeship (3 years):

  • $8,000 ($2,500 first year, $2,500 second year, $3,000 final year)

• Accelerated Knowledge and Skills Training (18 months):

  • $3,500

• Tattoo & Piercing Apprenticeship (4 years):

  • $10,000 ($2,500 per year)

• Piercing and Body Mod Apprenticeship (2 years):

  • $4,500

The reason for the fees and contracts are that many individuals start apprenticeships, stopping and resuming sporadically. Unfortunately this burdens the mentor with interrupting the flow of business, imparting sacred wisdom, and adjusting to accommodate the needs of a new learner. Always look at a tattoo apprenticeship like college or an investment in your future. You are expected to complete tasks as necessary while learning a set of skills that can be monetized for the rest of your lifetime and shared with others. Other details and dynamics are explained in person, only if you are still interested in the opportunity.
