This course has exceeded every expectations i had about doing a tattoo course. I didn’t think i had the skills to actually tattoo, but by the guidence from Wido, Kanthima and Gitta i was able to develope them and build convidence in myself. i know believe that with more practise i will be able to go back to australia and begin a new career and life as a tattoo artist.

Wido, Kanthima and Gitta...oh i shouldn’t forget Pong....i would like to thank you for your help and kindness.

Now I can comfortably and confidently go back home and tattoo people and friends!
And grow as a tattoo artist! I look forward to what the future holds!!!

tattoo school thailand what can i say?
great team :kanthima,gitta and pong.
helpful and friendly people.
thanks guys, it was a fun experience.

-------------------------

The four weeks I spent learning at the TATTOO SCHOOL THAILAND were better than I could have hoped for.  I had no prior tattooing experience and in a short time I felt I had learned enough to have a good knowledge base to build on.  I learnt techniques and picked up tips that I could never have got on my own.  The course covered all the basics from the ground up and really pushed me to achieve, starting with large, fairly complex tattoos which where daunting at first but which I looked forward to as the course progressed.

Kanthima and Gitta are excellent teachers who guide by giving good advice and showing the way to tattoo correctly.  I am already missing the time spent in the studio and can’t wait till I am tattooing again!  Thanks TATTOO SCHOOL THAILAND!

n "wido"....pheewwww...he is incharge of tickling every1s funny bone every now and then...mks learning an alltogether different n funfilled experience...... a definitely "must go" place for anyone who wants to learn tattooing!! The accomodation too is very good and spacious.

To the fantastic staff at the TATTOO SCHOOL THAILAND,
Thank you so much for the knowledge and hospitality I was shown on my recent visit,and to anyone reading this considering signing up to any of the many tattoo schools around the world stop looking right now. I spent a year investigating the various schools offering courses in tattooing and this one ticked all the boxes,I have previous tattooing experience and even have a close friend who is a tattooist helping me with various skills but i`ve got to say that after the two weeks spent at the tattoo centre i`ve leant more in my short stay that i could have possibly learnt in a year . The shear amount of tattooing you get to do is incredible ,the hands on teaching is fantastic ,the size of the pieces you get to do is incredible and it was worth every cent. So if you are an aspiring tattooist that’s scratching away at home wondering how the professionals produce such good looking tattoos,book the course get on a plane and get taught the skills you need. Two weeks was great ,but 4 weeks and you will leave with a deep understanding of tattooing and a fantastic portfolio,once again my many thanks to Kanthima,Gitta and Vito for offering such a great environment to bring peoples dreams to life.
 
Yours sincerely
Dean Smith

I have spent 3 weeks here at the tattoo school
where I have learned not only the fundamentals and
intricate princibles of tattoo but tattooed flash that I
would not be able to do anywhere else in the world. 
This has been one of the best experiences and opportunities
I have had.  I can now go home and tattoo and maybe make
a little $$$$ 

I want to thank Gitta and Kanthima for their patience and chat!!
and Wido for his kindess and funny jokes!!!! ;-)

Ik deed een twee weken cursus in de school.  
Ik wist dat mijn tattoos nog verbetering nodig hadden:
mijn lijnen, kleuren en schaduwen. Ook al had ik reeds een cursus in Amerika gedaan.
Nou ja eigenlijk alles kon wel wat beter.
Ik ben werkelijk geschokt hoe groot het verschil nu na twee weken is.
Bij de eerste tattoo die ik hier in het tattoo school thailand  zette was het verschil al spectaculair.
Ik kan iedereen die serieus onderwijs en ervaring wil opdoen van harte tattoo artieste
Kantima en haar dochter  Gitta aanraden. En Wido niet te vergeten, die zorgt voor een
ontspannen en inspirerende omgeving. Gewoon doen!

--------------------------

This class was fantastic for both me and my wife.  I have never been an artist (never even played with coloring books as a kid) but my wife has been an artist most of her life and Kanthima and Guita were able to tailor their instructions to meet each of our needs.  In only 4 weeks we were doing tattoos we never thought we could do in 4 years.  Everyone at the school was extremely friendly and helpful.  We enjoyed it so much that we want to go back again next year.  
 
If any of you are considering coming to this class,  DO IT.  You will not regret it.  If you have heard tattoo artists tell you not to attend a tattoo school and that you need to become an tattoo apprentice first, IGNORE THEM!!!  They are just trying to monopolize and control the flow of new tattoo artists.  Going to this school was the best decision my wife and I ever made (besides getting married of course hehe).

Hello my name is Peter, i’m from the Netherlands.
I came here to tattoo school Thailand with  totally zero experience as far
as the making  tattoos.
In total ignorance of what  to expect.
What I have learned in these 6 weeks from Kantima Gita and Wido is more than
I had ever expected!
I had  a course of 6 weeks, and in this time i learned so much which i could
never have learned in the Netherlands in  these 6 weeks  time.
I never would have had  the chance for that.
 Each day we have had a lot of fun in the school!!! I have met wonderful
people  and have learned very much  about tattoos.
My life has totally changed!
I have a good feeling as a starting tattoo artist now, and have a new job in
a tattoo shop in the Netherlands now!!
All of this because  tattoo school Thailand gave me enough experience to be
confident enough to start ’the acctuall work’
This was 1 of the best decisions I  have could have made as a beginning
tattoo-artist!
Many many thanks to all of you!!! Kantima, Gita and Wido...
I will miss you guys. Thank you all for your support!

An utterly awesome learning experience any way I look at it!

For those out there who want to sink some ink, do not hesitate and come along because I do not think that it can get much better than this!

Every single ember of staff here is extremely helpful.

Gita, Kantima and Wido help me building up enough confidence to tackle anything.

On the other hand, I definitely have made good friends for life!

Forever thankful!

Coming to Tattoo School Thailand was truly one of the best experience.It is worth every penny,the tatto’s that I thought I would never be able to make,is now possible. Kanthima and Gitta are the most experienced teachers I’ve come across.Mr.Wido is one off the most wonderful person around,always there to help and make you laugh.I’m surely coming back to learn more.Thank you Kanthima,Gitta and Mr.Wido. -----------------------------------------

hey...
i was a bit nervous before coming to the school, not knowing if i’ll be able to learn a lot and stuff like that but the staff of Mrs. Kantima and Miss. Gitta completely chaged that. not to forget Mr. Wido who is always so helpful and fun to talk to. lastly Mrs. Lake who helps in getting everything ready before you start and clean up after you finish tattooing.

i came to the tattooschoolthailand
with little expierence and had done a few small tattoos earlier but nothing major.

at the tattoo school i learnt a lot about shading and colour combinations and now i can only improvise on the skill.

mostly you would start off doing a small tattoo that is only after you have gone through the stenciling, colouring on paper and pig skin. the big tattoos you do here helps in building your stamina and also helps concentrate for longer period of time.

peolple with no prior knowledge on tattooing  should come in minimum for a period of 1 month though 6 weeks will help a lot more.

highly recommended for every person who loves the art and wants to be a good tattoo artist.

my stay here was a pleasure and i also made few very good friends.

always thanful to the staff at Thailand tattoo center. all the best :-)

Tattoo School Thailand is truly an awesome place
Before coming I couldnt even get
skin to accept ink, after a week I was cranking out decent tattoos. After
a month, I came back to Chicago making nice tattoos and getting paid to do 
it.  Kanthima and Gitta are great teachers, and at 15 years old Gitta is
better than alot of the pros I see out here in the states.  Dont waste
your money in America, come to Thailand and learn the right way and tattoo
actual people, and have a great time doing it.

Loved every minute!  My only complaint is that it has gone too fast!!

The school is impressive from the start, with a great looking front and artwork painted on the walls in the reception area when you first walk in.

Upstairs are two air conditioned work areas, where the smell of dettol hits you straight away.  

Cleanliness and highgene are number 1 here.

Kantima and Gitta are both approachable, while able to give constructive critisim.  

They teach everything you need to know about line work, shading, hygene and machine maintenence; as well as how to be intuitive to you clients needs.

I enjoyed every minute of this course, from the work at the school to socialising with the other students staying at the house.

A fanatsic mulicultural group I will be sad to leave.

See you all soon, I hope!

Before i came here, i never physicaly touched a tattoo machine, only recieving tattoos from artists.

I arrived and was comforted. Showed around, where not to go and how to stay safe, though hua hin is a rather safe place in general.

My first week of class was hard, i must admit for it was a new experience for me. I did excerises, teaching me how to steady my hand

and learning how to copy the shades. As soon as i passed this, the fun beggins. A machine was placed on the table, it was a very

hands on experience. learning the rite from wrong, first on pig skin (that smells soooo bad!). It was hard and i have to admit i did a really shit 

job but in a sense it made me want to work harder. the first time i placed the machine on its skin was the most exciting thing for me. 

as the week passed, i got better.Learning how to use color and what comes first.

then starting on people the following week, i was scared and terrified, knowing i was going to screw up  but i think i did a great job because i had the help of my teachers.

i learnt alot, only learning more as the days passed. 

I did 6 weeks and i am pleased with my outcome. I am thankful for being able to learn my future prefesion here in hua hin. 

I will be back, for the people are amazing. 

Thank you for having me and thank you for teaching me. 

:)

GIorgio  (Italy)

when I came here I was only a beginner with a few tattoos done,and not so good,

I’ve choosen for the six week course beacuse I wanted to do much experience as possible,and these was the best money I ever spent,

because I’ve learned a lot and I always tattooed  on human skin!!

I think that is an element of huge inportance for one that wants become a tattoo artist,

in this school you can tattoo every day a different person with the advices of professionist tattoo artists that foollow

you work from the beginning till end!!

In this way when you finished the course you’ll have your own portfolio with all your works

 and firstofall you’ll have the experience that only a school like this can release

My advice is:if you want to become a tattoo artist this is one of the firsts step you have to do!!!

And don’t forget that you do this school in thailand and near the beach!!!

The house where you will stay is very beautiful and in a good area  where you can find all what you want and near to all,

you’ll feel like in a family!!

Giorgio

Quando arrivai qui ero solo un principiante con pochi tattoo alle spalle e non ben fatti,scelsi il corso 

da sei settimane per poter avere la massima esperienza possibile,e questi furono i soldi miglior spesi!!

perche’ ho imparato molto e soprattutto ho tatuato su persone vere(non pelli finte o di animali)

Penso che questo sia un elemento di grande importanza per chi voglia diventare un tatuatore,qua ogni giorno hai un

 tattoo nuovo da fare e sempre su persone con i consigli e l’aiuto di insegnanti che sono veramente delle

professioniste che seguono i tuoi lavori dall’inizio fino alla fine!!

in questo modo quando finisci il corso avrai un portfolio con bei tattoo da mostrare e soprattutto l’esperienza che solo

una scuola cosi puo dare!!

un consiglio che posso dare a chiunque voglia cimentarsi nel mondo del tatuaggio e’ che questo e’ uno dei primi passi da fare...

e in piu poter fare una scuola cosi in thailandia e per di piu al mare e’ una gran bella esperienza!!!

La casa dove si alloggia e’ molto bella e spaziosa e vicina sia al centro che alla spiaggia e la gente della scuola vi fara’ sentire in familia!!

Amazing!! Is the first word that comes to my mind. This has been the best experience of my life.

I had never tattooed before I came here and after 4 weeks, 

I feel fully confident to go home and start my new career as a tattoo artist.

Kanthima is such an amazing teacher and has so much knowledge and patience. 

Everything that Kanthima has taught me has helped me achieve the level of experience I have now.

 I can not speak any higher of Kanthima and Gitta as their work is outstanding. If I can achieve half of what they can do I will be a 

very happy woman.

A huge thanks to Kanthima, Wido, Gitta, Fern and Pong for their hospitality. 

They have made our experience here better than ever. Wido.... Caz says bite me lol :) 

Love to you all, Jill (and Caz).

The best place in the world to learn how to make tattoo.

I came here with no experience at all, and now I feel it’s like second nature to tattoo.

Kantima and Gitta were excellent teachers and really brought out my creative side.

They taught me everything from drawing a line, to cleaning a machine; and everything including what you need to know about EVERYTHING!!!

The school is in a new complex and is very clean and modern.

If you want to learn tattoo, this is the place you should come;

 because it’s worth every dollar... and I don’t want to go home!  But I’m gonna come back for sure.

Gonna miss you all, and see you soon.

From crazy...

My name is Thomas from Holland, I’ve just finished my 6 weeks course at the Thailand Tattoo Center. 

My time here was amazing, the walks to the shop each morning were different every day, and the tattoos I did here every day made me become better and better.

Now I return home with a confident feeling, I know I can do it. Also, Wiedo, Gitta and Kanthima were the best teachers in the world, I don’t think there is one thing that they don’t know... 

I’ve learned so much here, I threw away my bad habits (I learned tattooing in Holland, but my tattoos weren’t very good) and now I have learned the real thing.

Be prepared though, when you come here you have to have the right mentality and it has to be something you want to do for the rest of your life. If you are willing to work for it, then you are OK.

For me this is the best money I’ve ever spent in my life.

Thomas

I now finish my 4 weeks tattoo course. Its ben one of the best experience in my life.

To travel alone to Thailand and meet the familie who runs this tattoo school. 

All 4 lovely people. So helpfull and friendly. 

On the course I have learned so much about body art. 

I will miss the familie and all the studens, when I go back to Denmark.

I can only say: DO IT !!

Thailand Tattoo School is by far the place to go if you are serious about tattooing.

 Its alot of work but the rewards are awesome! I have done tattoing on the side but 

have had so much frustration on improving techniques and to get rid of old habits that are not good to have if

 you want to tattoo in a shop. Kanthima, Wedo, Geta and others

that are here are to help whenever i needed help. I was doing Tattoos on live skin the second day I was here.

 The models they have here for the students are great. They dont 

complain and are very grateful for any student working on them. I was very displined and be prepared to work hard.

 However, hard work has paid off and it was the best money i spent on 

improving my craft. The weekends are great as you can go to Hua Hin beach, cheap great food and the culture here is out of this world!

 It was a great experience tattooing on a every day

feeling just like you were at a real shop. The stations, office and top notch, clean-sterile, top of the line. For the price of the class 

and with accomadations included, its the best deal that 

other places in the USA or any where else charge up to over $10K for a week of training.

 I strongly recommend the class for anyone who is serious about learning tattoo as an awesome career choice

for us artists!
