    "I honestly can't recommend The Irish Tattoo Academy and Chloe enough! The two-week tattoo course was genuinely the best course I've ever done, and I'm so grateful for the experience. Week 1 - Theory: The theory week covered absolutely everything you could need to know, from the history of tattooing right through to learning about all the different parts of a tattoo machine. Chloe has an amazing way of teaching, she made what could have been a lot of complicated information feel so clear, straightforward and easy to understand. Nothing ever felt overwhelming, and she was always happy to explain things until everyone was comfortable with the topic. Week 2 - Practical: The practical week was just as amazing. Chloe was so clear and patient when explaining everything from lining and shading to the importance of professionalism and hygiene throughout the entire tattooing process. She made sure we understood not just how to tattoo, but the importance of doing it properly, safely and professionally. One of the things I appreciated most about Chloe was how professional but completely transparent she was. Coming up to the final exams, I genuinely didn't feel under pressure because of how well she had prepared us. I actually felt like I'd been doing the course for years, that's how good her teaching skills are! I never once felt like I had to put on an act or be uncomfortable. I could just be myself, ask questions and learn at my own pace. The support you get from Chloe, the other staff and your fellow students is honestly amazing. Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging, which made the whole experience even better. I had such an amazing time at The Irish Tattoo Academy and genuinely wish the two weeks didn't fly by so quickly! I'm leaving feeling confident, supported and excited to continue my tattoo journey. Thank you so much, Chloe and The Irish Tattoo Academy, for such an incredible experience"

    "I honestly couldn't recommend Chloe's Academy enough. I'd already been tattooing for about a year before doing the academy, so I wasn't going into it as a complete beginner, but I knew there was still a lot I could improve on and learn. The difference the academy has made to my work and my confidence is honestly unreal. Chloe went into so much detail and helped me understand things I'd been struggling with for a while. It wasn't just learning how to tattoo, it was understanding the reasons behind what I was doing and how to actually improve my technique and approach. I'm genuinely so proud of the progress I've made since doing the academy. Looking back at my work before and comparing it to where I am now is a massive difference, and it's given me a completely different level of confidence in my ability. Massive thank you to Chloe for sharing her knowledge, being so honest and helpful throughout and pushing me to improve. I've taken so much away from the academy and I'm genuinely buzzing to keep putting it all into practice. If you want to begin the journey to start tattooing or already got some tattooing experience but feel like you've hit a point where you want to take your work to the next level, I'd 100% recommend Chloe's Academy. Easily one of the best things I've done for my tattooing."

    "Honestly, I couldn't recommend this tattoo course enough! I learned so much from start to finish, from hygiene and setting up properly to using the machine, different techniques and building my confidence. I went into the course with very little knowledge and came out feeling so much more confident in my ability to tattoo and create work I'm actually proud of. The instructor was amazing, so patient, friendly and genuinely wanted to help you improve. It was easily one of the best investments I've made, and worth every penny. If you're thinking about doing the course, take this as your sign to go for it - you won't regret it!"

    "The Irish tattoo academy course was fantastic from start to finsih. Structured, fun, being well supported by Chloe during, and since - it was a brilliant and intense learning experience. Chloe made everything very clear and easy to understand. Its safe to say this course has changed my life for the better (im sorry I didnt do it sooner!)."
