ADMISSIONS

Individuals applying to TAI are required to:

1. Be at least 18 years of age.

• Present proof of secondary education (high school diploma or GED certificate). TAI does not accept ability to benefit students.

• Meet any requirements of the specific program.

For prospects with Foreign Transcripts: Transcripts of secondary education presented to the Artist Institute in a foreign language, must be evaluated by an independent third party recognized by the United States Department of Education for equivalency status as a high school diploma in the United States.  

Individuals who meet the above standards are then required to fill out an application and will then be contacted for an interview.  During this interview, the TAI representative will answer any questions the prospective student may have, as well as discuss the different programs as they relate to the student’s current situation, and goals.

For special need students, all reasonable accommodation will be made, but the student will still need the necessary mental and motor functions to operate as a tattoo artist.  If a student has special needs that may affect his or her ability to complete required trade school tasks (the interviewer will discuss these), he or she is required to disclose them during the time of the interview, and the interviewer will discuss necessary accommodations. 

TAI does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnic origin, or religion.
