Student experiences

When I started, I had a strong desire to learn, but very few basics. Here I found instructors who were present, honest, and always available to correct me. It was a challenging journey, but it gave me the method and confidence I was lacking.

Giulia R. — Tattoo Course

What I appreciated most was the practicality of the lessons. Not just technique, but also hygiene, client management, and everything you really need to work seriously. If I could go back, I would choose MTS again.

Luca M. — Piercing Course

It's not your typical school where they explain things and then you're on your own. The instructors follow you, observe how you work, and help you understand where you're making mistakes. I've seen my drawing and tattooing style change completely.

Martina C. — Tattoo Course

It was an intense year, full of trials, errors, and satisfactions. Beyond the technical preparation, I'm taking with me the people I met and an environment where I immediately felt at home. For me, MTS was a true starting point.

Matteo F. — Tattoo Course

At the beginning, I was very insecure, especially in the practical part. The exercises and the continuous feedback from the instructors helped me a lot. I finished the course feeling much more prepared and aware of the responsibility of this job.

Alessia P. — Piercing Course

The internship was the moment when everything I had studied started to become real. Entering a studio, observing professionals, and interacting with clients helped me truly understand how this job works.

Federica L. — Tattoo Course

I had visited several schools before choosing, but MTS seemed like the most complete one right away. The spaces, the labs, and especially the experience of the instructors make the difference. They don't promise shortcuts: they teach you how to work well.

Sara B. — Piercing Course

One of the best things about MTS is the activities organized with companies. Workshops, events, and special projects allow you to meet industry professionals and have experiences that would be difficult to get during a normal course.

Elena D. — Tattoo Course

Thanks to the internship, I had the chance to test myself outside the classroom and get a close look at the rhythms of a studio. It was a fundamental experience, so much so that at the end of the path, I continued to collaborate with the same studio.

Andrea S. — Piercing Course
