How big are the classes?
Six to eight students, max. Ever. The whole point of training with Carrie is the personal attention, so we cap cohorts intentionally. Most students get one-on-one instructor time every single hour.
What's included in the kit?
Every program includes a complete professional kit. Machine, sterile cartridges, pigments specific to your modality, stencil and transfer tools, surgical markers, practice skin, aftercare cream, and a carrying case. Our Fine Line and PMU programs also include a wireless stencil printer. You leave ready to work, not ready to shop.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. A $500 deposit holds your seat in any program. The balance can be paid in full before class, or financed through Cherry with terms typically running 6, 12, or 24 months. We'll walk you through the application on your discovery call.
Where is the studio located?
The Realm at Castle Hills, 4400 State Hwy 121 Suite 220, Lewisville, TX 75056. Second floor, inside Cachet Studio #9. Roughly 25 minutes from downtown Dallas, 15 from Frisco and Plano. Free parking on site.
Do I need prior tattoo experience?
No prior tattoo experience is required for any of our programs. We start at fundamentals. Skin anatomy, machine handling, sanitation. And build from there. Texas state licensing requirements are also covered. Existing artists adding a specialty are absolutely welcome too.
What happens after training ends?
Lifetime mentorship is included. You join the private alumni group, get direct access to Carrie for questions, and receive ongoing marketing templates and business support. Most graduates stay in touch for years. That's the relationship we build.
