Empowering Prisoners for a Skilled Future

Transforming Lives Through Professional Tattoo Training

At Elever Tattoo Training, we believe in the power of education to create opportunities, inspire change, and reduce reoffending rates. Our prison-based tattoo training programme is designed to provide inmates with professional skills, ensuring they can reintegrate into society with a legitimate career path in the tattooing industry.

A Safer, Regulated Approach to Tattooing in UK Prisons

Unregulated tattooing in prisons poses significant health risks, including infection, cross-contamination, and unsafe practices. By introducing structured, government-approved training, we aim to replace unsafe methods with proper industry standards, teaching inmates:

✅ Health & Safety Compliance – Understanding sterilisation, hygiene, and legal requirements.
✅ Proper Tattoo Techniques – From linework and shading to machine handling and ink application.
✅ Professionalism & Business Skills – How to operate legally and ethically within the industry.
✅ Portfolio Development – Preparing for work opportunities upon release.

Reducing Reoffending Through Skills & Employment

Studies show that offenders with employable skills are significantly less likely to reoffend. Our training provides a structured pathway to employment, giving inmates the ability to secure work in reputable studios or even start their own business upon release.

By partnering with the UK government, prison services, and rehabilitation organisations, we are committed to breaking the cycle of reoffending and empowering individuals with a fresh start.

A Fully Certified & Industry-Backed Programme

Delivered by experienced tattoo professionals who understand both the craft and the importance of structure.
