The El Hongo Way of Learning
At El Hongo Tattoo & Art School, Varanasi, we believe that quality education begins with focus — which is why we take only a limited number of students per batch. Each admission is done through a personal interview, ensuring that every learner joining us is genuinely passionate and ready to grow.
Tattooing is not just drawing — it’s a living art form that demands precision, patience, and emotional depth. Our goal is to help students refine their fine art skills, understand the human canvas, and evolve into confident, expressive tattoo artists.
Students are required to attend classes regularly and will receive structured study materials, practical guidance, and continuous feedback throughout the course. Our mentors work closely with each student until we’re fully confident in their skill, discipline, and creative readiness.
At El Hongo, the relationship doesn’t end when the course does — we continue to support, guide, and celebrate our artists as they step into the ever-growing world of body art and tattoos.
