Skinlab Piercing & Tattoo | Apprenticeships

Tattoo & piercing apprenticeship candidates

Apply once. Stay on our candidate list.

Skinlab accepts apprenticeship applications even when we do not have an immediate opening. Supervision capacity is limited, so submitting an application does not guarantee an apprenticeship or a specific start date.

Minnesota temporary body-art technicians must be at least 18 years old. Tattoo, piercing and dual-license tracks have different supervised-experience requirements, so tell us which direction you want to pursue.
