Terms and Conditions

InkMentors Tattoo School is operated by Tat2Solutions, Inc., a Texas corporation doing business as InkMentors, with its principal place of business in Houston, Texas ("InkMentors", "we", "us").

Courses are hosted and sold through our course platform at academy.inkmentors.com, and payment is processed by our payment providers. Those providers have their own terms, which apply to the payment itself alongside these terms.

You can reach us at help@inkmentors.com. Affiliate matters go to affiliate@inkmentors.com.

You must be at least 18 years old to buy from us and to create an account.

The courses teach professional tattooing technique to practising and training artists. They are not a substitute for an apprenticeship, for the licensing your jurisdiction requires, or for supervised practice on real skin.

When you buy a course you get access to that course for as long as we operate the platform, including any future updates we make to that same course. We describe this as lifetime access, and we mean it: there is no subscription and no renewal.

If we ever have to retire a course or the platform itself, we will give you at least 90 days of notice and a way to download the material you paid for. We will not simply switch it off.

Every course includes a certificate of completion, available to download once you finish the course. It is a certificate issued by InkMentors. It is not a licence, a diploma, or an accreditation from any government or professional body, and it does not authorise you to tattoo anywhere.

Access is personal to you. One purchase is one person.

All prices are shown in US dollars and include any applicable sales tax or VAT. The price you see is the price you pay: we absorb the tax rather than adding it at checkout.

We accept credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay and, where available in your country, Klarna with up to four interest-free instalments. Klarna is a separate company and its own terms govern your instalment plan, including any late fees. A dispute with Klarna is between you and Klarna.

Prices change from time to time, and we run promotions. A price you paid is final for that purchase: if the same course later costs less, that is not grounds for a partial refund, and if it later costs more, we do not charge you the difference.

We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to watch the course material for your own professional development. That is all it is: a licence to watch, not ownership of the content.

You may not share your login, resell, sublicense, re-upload, screen-record, translate, mirror or redistribute the material, in whole or in part, publicly or privately, paid or free. You may not use it to teach a course of your own.

You may absolutely use what you learn in your own tattooing, on your own clients, commercially, without owing us anything. That is the entire point.

We monitor for shared credentials and redistributed material. Accounts that share or leak content are closed without a refund, and we pursue distribution of pirated material.

Course access includes our VIP community. It exists so students can post results and ask questions, and so mentors can answer them.

Keep it professional. No harassment, no hate speech, no spam, no selling to other members, no sharing of course material. We remove people who do not, and removal from the community is not a refund event: your course access is unaffected.

Advice you receive from other members is theirs, not ours.

We teach technique. We do not promise that you will earn a particular income, book a particular volume of clients, win competitions, or reach a particular skill level in a particular time.

Any figures, timelines or student outcomes shown anywhere on this site are examples of what has happened for specific people, not a projection of what will happen for you. What you get out of a course depends on your practice, your market, your existing skill and your effort.

Tattooing is a regulated activity in most places and an invasive one everywhere. Our courses assume you already work in a professional setting and already know your local rules.

You are solely responsible for holding whatever licence, registration, bloodborne pathogen certification, insurance and health permits your jurisdiction requires, for your hygiene and cross-contamination practice, for your equipment, and for obtaining informed consent from your clients.

Nothing in a course overrides your local health regulations or the manufacturer instructions for your equipment and inks. Where a course shows a technique, it shows how it is done, not that it is lawful or advisable where you are.

We are not liable for any injury, infection, adverse reaction, regulatory action or claim arising from work you perform. That responsibility is yours and your studio’s.

We aim to keep the platform available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, provider outages and events outside our control happen.

We may improve, re-edit or re-record course material. If we do, you get the updated version at no cost.

We may add, retire or reprice courses in the catalogue. Retiring a course from sale does not remove it from the accounts of people who already bought it.

Our courses are not refundable. We are direct about this because the sale is direct: every sales page lists exactly what is inside the course before you pay, including the lesson breakdown, the runtime, the mentor, the language of the audio and subtitles, and what is included with it. You are not buying a description of a thing you cannot see. Access is granted immediately and in full, and the material cannot be returned once it has been watched or downloaded.

By completing your purchase you expressly ask for immediate access to the course, and you acknowledge that in doing so you lose any right of withdrawal that would otherwise apply to digital content. Where the law requires us to obtain that consent separately, we collect it at checkout.

Where your local law grants you a cooling-off period that cannot be waived, that right stands and these terms do not remove it. In practice this affects consumers in a small number of jurisdictions. If you believe this applies to you, write to help@inkmentors.com within the statutory period and tell us where you are buying from. We will not make you argue for a right you are owed.

We do refund, without argument, in three situations: you were charged twice for the same purchase; a technical fault on our side prevented you from ever accessing the course and we could not fix it; or the purchase was fraudulent and not made by you.

Changing your mind, buying the wrong course, or not having time to watch it are not grounds for a refund. If you bought the wrong course, write to us and we will usually move you to the right one instead.

Filing a chargeback rather than contacting us first will suspend your account while the dispute is open. We would rather answer your email.

To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim connected to a course or to these terms is limited to the amount you actually paid us for that course.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit, lost bookings or lost data.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

We may suspend or close your account if you share or redistribute course material, abuse the community, attempt to defraud us, or file a chargeback instead of contacting us. Where the closure is for one of these reasons, no refund is due.

You may stop using the platform at any time. Because there is no subscription, there is nothing to cancel.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Harris County, Texas.

If you buy as a consumer somewhere whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, or grants you protections that cannot be contracted away, that right is unaffected by this section.

We may update these terms. The version that applies to your purchase is the one published on the day you bought, and we keep the effective date at the top of this page current.

A change to these terms never removes access you already paid for.

Questions about these terms, a purchase, or a refund request under section 5 go to help@inkmentors.com. A real person answers.
