About Your Teacher
Meet Sterre, an experienced and versatile tattoo artist with nearly 4 years of dedicated work in the industry. She began her professional journey at a busy walk-in studio in the centre of Amsterdam, where she mastered a wide range of tattooing techniques—from delicate fineline work to subtle shading and vibrant color pieces. This experience gave her a solid foundation and the flexibility to handle almost any style that came her way.
Now creating at Club FrouFrou, Sterre has cultivated her own unique approach to tattoo art and enjoys sharing her knowledge with others. She is skilled in both machine and handpoke methods and is passionate about helping her students with mastering the essentials and feeling comfortable with making forever art. With Sterre as your guide, you’ll learn everything you need to grow as a tattoo artist in a supportive, fun, and inspiring environment.
Sterre speaks Dutch and English
Meet Ellie, an American tattooer working in the industry for 6 years. She specializes in fine line and decorative ornamental designs with strong attention to detail. Through the years she has worked in various shop environments and eventually managed her own studio, which grew her desire to work with others and share her knowledge.
Over the past year, Ellie has been sharing short tattoo tutorials on TikTok and is excited to expand it with our tatt school courses. She focuses on finding your unique style as well as building up technical skills, which are both important steps to becoming a balanced tattoo artist. Ellie is excited to help you find your voice as a tattooer and build your creative process through our courses.
Ellie classes will only be given in English.

faq
1. Will I be able to tattoo after completing the course?
Yes, you’ll be qualified to tattoo upon finishing the course! However, keep in mind that you will still be considered a junior tattoo artist. You’ll have the foundational skills but will need more practice and perhaps additional training in various techniques to fully develop your artistry.
2. What if I can’t attend a class?
Please review our cancellation policy. Attendance is crucial for building hands-on experience, and each class builds on the previous one.

9. What if I have a holiday planned during the course?
The first five lessons are scheduled on fixed dates, so it’s best not to miss those. However, the last two lessons offer more flexibility for rescheduling if necessary.

14. What if I feel nervous about tattooing on skin?
That’s completely normal! In early sessions, you’ll practice on synthetic skin to build your confidence and skills. By the time you move to tattooing on real skin, you’ll feel more prepared.
15. Are the lessons in Dutch or English?
The lessons are conducted in either Dutch or English, depending on the teacher and the students in the workshop:
-
Ellie: All her classes are conducted exclusively in English.
-
Sterre: She can teach in both Dutch and English, and the language of the class depends on the students. If there is a student who does not speak Dutch, the workshop will be conducted in English.
So, if you're with Ellie, the class will always be in English, and if you're with Sterre, it adjusts based on the group's language needs.
