The Haetae on the upper back is a pre-existing tattoo of the client

At our academy, self-tattooing is a required part of the training process. Before working on real clients, students tattoo their own bodies to develop a true understanding of how human skin reacts.

Since tattoos are permanent, we believe it is irresponsible to practice directly on others without this experience. Our philosophy also emphasizes that healed results matter more than how a tattoo looks immediately after the session.

By observing how their own tattoos heal over time, students gain valuable insight into technique, depth, ink retention, and overall outcome. This process becomes one of the most important learning experiences in their training.

Lastly, we’d love for you to show your support to "Suz__tattoo" as she begins her journey as a tattoo artist.

This is the original design of an artist who likes darkside.
