NQ Street Art & Tattoo Design
Overview
Turn your art into your future!
This course is for people who draw, design, paint, tag, sketch, illustrate, and obsess over visual culture, and want to turn that passion into something real.
If you’re into tattoo design, street art, murals, illustration, bold graphics, visual storytelling, and making work people can actually see, this course gives you the space, skills, and confidence to move forward.
This active, participatory course is about making work, building a strong portfolio, and learning how creative careers actually work in the real world.

Learn
Street art and tattoo-inspired illustration are no longer underground - they’re global creative industries. This course gives you a solid foundation to move into further study, apprenticeships, or early freelance pathways.
You won’t qualify as a tattooist on this course but you will leave with:
- A professional-standard portfolio
- Strong drawing, design, and visual communication skills
- Experience working at scale and in public spaces
- An understanding of how artists actually make a living
This is about setting yourself up. Not just for college, but for a creative future.
What you will learn:
- Design tattoo-style illustration, flash, symbols, linework, lettering and imagery
- Create street art and murals, working big, bold, and confidently
- Develop your own visual style and identity through practical skills development in a broad range of drawing and media techniques.
- Work on real projects, individually and as part of a team
- Explore public art, community projects, and alternative exhibition spaces
- Build sketchbooks, final pieces, and digital documentation for progression or for clients
You’ll work indoors in studios and outdoors in a dedicated, legal creative space, learning how to handle materials safely and professionally. Just like working artists do.
