This training offers a minimum of 4 months commitment, and a maximum of 36 months commitment (depending on schedule) and is set up like a traditional shamanic apprentice, meaning when you feel complete, or Ashley feels you are complete, you may choose to move on. Ashley works with each apprentice to craft a schedule that works well for them in accordance with their needs.

 

 

Bespoke in-person training: For those local to L.A area. $1,300-$2,600 / month: This is the most intimate and in depth training Ashley offers in devotion to you and your unique needs as a tattoo mentee. In this training you will meet for 2-4 days/month (3-6 hours per day, price dependent on schedule) for private in-person immersions in Los Angeles. Each month is curated based on the individual apprentice’s specific learning needs and desires to support you in blooming into your practice as a Soul Tattoo artist.

 

Online + in person training: For those who can only travel into L.A. once a season. $850-$1,600 / month: Meets every other month in person for a 2-day (3-4 hours/day) immersion in Los Angeles, with 1-2 monthly 2 hour zoom calls in-between.

 

Fully virtual apprenticeship: For those who wish to work together virtually. MUST have some prior tattooing experience/knowledge/a valid tattoo license or a traditional tattoo apprenticeship to do alongside. $750 / month: Meets monthly over zoom for 2.5 hours twice a month.

 

*Each immersion is as much of a self-healing retreat and initiation into your medicine song as it is a more traditional tattoo apprenticeship training.

*All immersion dates will be planned and discussed together at least 1-2 months in advance.

*Training can be paused (and resumed) at any month as long as there is a 30 day notice as Ashley does all her scheduling in advance (if an integration break is needed or if travels/life circumstances ask you to step away for a month. Flexibility is offered, though commitment and communication is required)

*If you are not already a licensed tattoo artist with experience in tattooing, whether machine or hand-poked, do not choose the virtual option as Ashley cannot fully teach hand tattoo technique over zoom.

 

Ashley also offers 4-day hand-poked tattoo training immersions separate from her long-term apprenticeship trainings. These trainings may be private or with 1-3 other trainees depending on the season. These trainings focus on JUST the technique of hand weaving sacred markings and body placement/body divination only, and you MUST have some prior tattoo knowledge or are a licensed tattoo artist as hand-poking cannot be mastered in just a few days. The immersions are held for 3-4 hours a day. No certification, licensing, or deeper support is provided with this training and you must complete your blood-born disease exam with your local government before training begins. The cost of this training is $3,400.
