You're not just learning to tattoo, you're learning how to change someone's life

Imagine giving a breast cancer survivor the ability to look in the mirror and smile again…

Helping someone reclaim their body after trauma, gender-affirming surgery, or scarring…

Or offering hope where medical systems fell short.

​

You’re here because you’re not just an artist.
You're A leader. A visionary. A healer.

Kin+Sugi is  here to train you into a skilled, ethical, and confident medical tattoo artist who creates results that change lives — and build a powerful, purpose-led career.

IN PERSON COURSES INCLUDE

QUALIFIED EDUCATORS

Two trainers on every 3D Areola course, and on any course with more than 4 students. Both hold the TAE40122 Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and use these techniques in their own studios.

FULL KIT & MACHINE

You will take home a kit tailored to your new skill set with everything you need to start your service as soon as you leave.

ONGOING SUPPORT

You'll practise on real models during your course, then get 12 months of WhatsApp support afterwards, so you're never on your own with your first clients.

Our Courses

Why Students Choose Kin+Sugi

Real Tattoo Artist Know-How

Trained by working cosmetic and tattoo artists, who share the practical know-how they use in their own studios.

Medically Informed 

Shelby spent 10 years working alongside surgeons, doctors and nurses, and Melinda is trained in trauma-informed coaching, so you'll be prepared for the real situations you'll meet with clients.

Realistic Results

We're more than a masterclass. We teach the techniques and the artistic flair to create realistic results, with hands-on practice on real models.

Steph - Advanced Areola 

"Kin+Sugi taught me more than just techniques, everything was explained in a way that made  me feel 100% confident in my ability before leaving."

Claire - Beginner Areola 

 "This is so much more than any masterclass - it was a full education of skin, biology, science, ink, needles & techniques to allow me to be fully informed - there was no B.S"

Dylan - Scar & Stretch Mark 

“I have never had a career with so much satisfaction before. I am so glad I did the Camouflage course, I am changing lives every day”
