Welcome to our 'Fundamentals' classroom.

Learn how to reframe your tattoos, so they become your #1 tool for personal growth & spiritual development.

Your tattoos tell a story? Right?

Whether you mean it or not, they convey the story of your life. Your personal story.
Each time you choose to get a tattoo, it shapes your future. 
Each time you get tattooed, you align yourself with principles, values and a certain sense of self.

Hi, Mark here. 

I’m the founder of the Tattoo Pathway and have been tattooing and observing the tattoo process and industry for almost two decades. Whenever I share the insights I have gleaned from this, not only with my clients but with anyone I talk to, there’s always something that they wish they knew before they got tattooed.

Many of us spend countless hours, endlessly pursuing guidance on the nature of one’s inner self, identity, or spiritual essence. Books, podcasts, retreats, medicines, etc. 

Why do we exist? Whats our true purpose? How can I better understand whether there is a universal consciousness, or some spiritual force?

How do I connect with it? 

We teach you to reframe your perspective on tattooing so that your tattoos become the number one tool on your search for the answers. 

People tell me their tattoos have meaning, but what does it actually mean to get tattooed?

What we teach absolutely eclipses what 99% percent of the contemporary tattoo culture is participating in.

Your tattoos are the most overlooked and undervalued tool for navigating the endless maze of personal growth and self development, the primordial ocean. 

and speaking of large bodies of water. . .

Will you sink or swim?

Getting a tattoo these days is like jumping into the ocean before learning how to swim.

No instruction necessary. Just stroll right in, roll your sleeve right up and feel the fire. This is why 56% of regretted tattoos were received between the ages 18-25 (no guidance). And, 73% of people who regret their tattoos do so in the first year, and 33% regret them immediately!

That’s sinking, not swimming.

You might be thinking… “I know who I am.”

But do your tattoos accurately represent you?

You might be thinking…. “All of my tattoos are fine, they’re all good.”

But have you taken the time to reflect on them and whether they hold any answers to the questions your seeking?

There are probably patterns in how you think, feel, look and behave – in your tattoos. 

The truth is available.

Usually an amalgamation of all of the things that you think you are show up as signs, symbols, and stories on your skin.

You can’t capture who you are in a single tattoo, at a tattoo studio, with a piece of art.

Now you might be thinking:

This requires awareness – of what you’re doing and what tattooing does.

Although we are guiding and supporting you, this is not a Contiki tattoo tour. So its not for tourists, it's more of a pilgrimage and we offer guidance for you to explore, understand and practice the steps needed to ensure your tattoos are aligned with who you are. Here's what you'll learn:

Chapter 1: History

Chapter 2: The Process

Chapter 3: Your Tattoos

Chapter 4: The Guide

Chapter 5: The Core - Intention and Power

The Tattoo Pathway vision is for future generations to be the custodians of a tattoo pathway that is sacred, and leads people to be dignified in their beauty.

And, so, if that's something that you want to align yourself with, and you're open to learning more,

But ultimately through people taking responsibility of who they are.

I’ll see you inside.

"This course is a definite must for anyone wanting to deepen their connection with their tattoos. I couldn’t recommend this course more. The magnitude of time and energy Mark and his partner have put into creating this nurturing space is immensely apparent. This course is not only about Tattooing but also about connection with life itself. "

"Tattoo Pathway is an integrated and intentional practice which guides and enables personal growth. Throughout the course I felt supported not only by Mark but by the beautiful community which is forming around this work."

— David Grolman / Farmer

"It has been extremely insightful and has given me a plethora of new tools to not only explore my relationship to tattoos, but also to how I live my life. Learning about practices, mindsets and tools for living in a more Intentional reality is something that I will carry forward always. Hands down the best course I’ve ever done, and I would recommend it to anyone - especially those who have a pre-existing dedication to tattoos either as receivers of, or offering artists. "

frequently asked questions

Now if you have any further questions…

Well, the fact that you’ve made it this far is a good sign! 

You have an interest in tattoos, and you may or may not have any yet, but you know there is more to it than meets the eye. If you wish there was more depth and substance to the way you think about tattoos (your own, or the process in general), then it’s likely a good fit. 

This course isn’t about aesthetics, coolness, or what other people think. It’s a deep dive into the hows and whys behind your tattoo journey, ultimately connecting you to your most authentic self.

The Tattoo Pathway Fundamentals Course is a text, audio, and media-based course broken up into 5 digestible chapters. The course is self-paced and you can take as long as you need to work through it. You will have lifetime access to the course and materials.

As the course is self-paced, there is no set time for you to complete it. The Fundamentals course is designed to be digested and reflected on over time and the community is there for you whenever you’re ready to ask questions.

Consider each chapter as a seed to be planted – it takes time to observe and integrate the things you’ll learn. Ideally, set aside a few weeks or even months to complete the course and implement the practices. This creates space for true transformation alongside your growing self-awareness.

Absolutely! One of the key goals of the Tattoo Pathway Fundamentals course is to help you develop a much deeper understanding of your motivations, desires, and personal symbolism. By exploring these elements, you’ll gain the clarity to make tattoo choices that truly reflect who you are and where you’re headed. We want to minimise regret and help you feel confident that every future tattoo is aligned and meaningful.
Definitely! Even if you received tattoos before diving into the Tattoo Pathway, the course will open up new perspectives. You’ll learn to analyse the stories you’ve already written on your skin, revealing hidden meanings and patterns – perhaps even some things you weren’t consciously aware of. This process brings not only greater understanding but also appreciation for your past choices, helping you see how they’ve contributed to your journey so far.
No, but you’re probably interested because you’re considering one in the future, and in that case it is highly beneficial. It is also of benefit for someone in the role of close connection with others who are getting tattooed such as a partner or child and may be making unconscious decisions.
You can choose to continue your community membership for USD$39/month or USD$349/year. This includes ongoing access to weekly Q&A sessions, monthly workshops, and our supportive community forums.
This course focuses on your personal tattoo journey, but it will undoubtedly reframe the way you think about tattooing and establish new principles that will shape how you approach tattooing in general. This will also affect how you interact with your clients and approach your work. The Tattoo Pathway coursework is required before undertaking any further artist training with Mark.

Once you make a purchase, you’ll receive an order confirmation email, as well as an email to create your account on tattoopathway.com. You will have immediate access to the coursework and all our community benefits.
