DAELA Academy Model

4-6 Students

• We purposefully keep our class sizes to 6 or fewer students, some classes have a maximum of 4 students.
• This ensures quality one-on-one time with the instructor and availability of a live model for each student.
• Working directly with the trainer is the key to a successful technique and training.

• Tattoo licenses are required to work in most states.
• If you are not currently licensed in your state, please become familiar with your state guidelines, you can’t work on clients in your state without obtaining required state licensing.
• We do not license for tattoo in any state.
• Note about Oregon: Oregon licensing requires that tattoo artists attend full time school, 50 practical’s and must pass state boards to obtain a license. The Oregon licensing process is lengthy and cannot be avoided.
• Our courses teach additional technique and while they can be taken before obtaining Oregon licensing, we like to make it clear that Oregon residents, working in Oregon, must have a valid Oregon Tattoo License.
• This training does not count toward Oregon school required hours but does count toward your continued educational hours. Our curriculum is not taught at Oregon Tattoo Schools. 

• Most courses last 2 full days, include a valuable training kit, a detailed training manual and online training.
• Because of its intricacy, Eyeliner Foundations is a 3-day course.
• The online training portion of the course is available for 12 months and you can access it as often as you like.
• We also offer support via email for life. Your ongoing questions will be answered by DAELA Academy staff and escalated to Master Artists if need be.

Yes!

• Working with a live model is imperative to your success. Learning how to work on the skin is the most important part of an in-person course.
• Because of the difficulty in finding live models, we keep our class sizes small. Each student will have time on the skin to learn with proper one on one instruction.
• Notes: Some courses will include a shared model, while others will have individual models.
• If you cannot prove technique on fake skins, we may not allow you to work on a live model. 
• However, if you have not mastered a sufficient technique and need more time to practice, you may attend an additional class and work on a live model at no additional cost to you.
• We will require that you submit skins to us for review before signing you up for an additional class.

We have you covered.

• We provide plenty of food during your training!
• Continental breakfast, lunch, available snacks and beverages will be available. 
• If you have strict dietary concerns, please let us know in advance.  We would love to accommodate your dietary restrictions, if we cannot then we will recommend you bring your own food.

We have a beautiful state-of-the-art private training space located in the heart of downtown Vancouver, just a few minutes' walk from the waterfront, delicious restaurants and hotels!
