Student stories
Real people. Real results.
"It's never too late to start. If you're too scared or just need a little push — this is your sign."
She knew since high school that she wanted to be a tattoo artist — but kept holding back. She finally took the leap, pushed through the long hours and mental breakdowns, and found it completely worth it. Now she wakes up every day excited to create.
Student work
From zero to this.
The Dear Vincent difference
Most tattoo programs leave you unprepared.
This one doesn't.
Free tattoo package — yours to keep
Everything you need to practice at home and in the studio, forever. The same brands our artists use — no extra cost, no conditions.
Tattoo real clients — backed by a professional
Make the leap from fake skin to real skin with an expert in your corner. You'll never face your first real client alone — we're right there with you every step of the way.
6 months of studio access — where the real growth happens
Repetition is what builds real skill. Come in, practice, refine — on your own schedule, for up to 6 months. This is where everything clicks.
And there's more
Free unlimited online learning — forever
60+ videos built around the mentorship. Yours to keep and look back on, no matter where life takes you.
One-on-one coaching built around you
We work through your specific challenges — your weaknesses, your style, your pace. We also cover photo and video so your work is captured the way it deserves to be seen.
Practice safely — and know exactly why it matters
We cover health and safety, bloodborne pathogens, and how to pass audits. You won't just learn to tattoo — you'll learn to protect your clients, your studio, and your career.
Build your brand and capture your work
We teach you to shoot, film, and edit your own work — then use it to grow your audience and turn followers into bookings.
A community that keeps you accountable
Share your progress, get real feedback, and stay motivated alongside peers on the same path. Growth is faster when you're not doing it alone.
Your mentor
Rye Clarin
Rye left a nursing career he didn't love and bet on himself. Since 2019, he's built a fine line freehand floral practice in the GTA — guest spots across Canada and the US, and a studio of his own.
The cost of waiting
Another year passes.
Same job. Same routine. Same ceiling.
Still telling yourself "someday."
Still watching someone else live the life you want.
Sound like you?
"I need to think about it." "I don't have the resources." "It's too far." "I'm too busy."
Some students sitting in this studio today said the exact same thing.
Most dreams don't die from failure. They die from comfort.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need any prior tattooing experience?
No experience needed. The mentorship is built to take you from zero to working artist, starting with the fundamentals and building up from there.
How much does the mentorship cost?
We don't lead with a price — we lead with you. Your call is where we learn about your goals and make sure this program is genuinely the right fit before we talk numbers.
How long does the program take?
Up to 6 months, though some students have graduated in less than 2 — it depends on your pace and how much time you put in.
Do I need my own equipment?
No setup required on your end. The studio provides a package with everything you need.
Is this remote, in-person, or both?
Both are required. In-person studio time is paired with online learning — we don't offer a stand-alone online mentorship.
Where is the studio located?
230 Lakeshore Rd E, Unit 305, Mississauga, ON L5G 1G7.
What happens after I apply?
We'll reach out to schedule a Google Meet call to answer your questions, walk through the program, and see if it's the right fit — for both of us.
