INSPIRE - EDUCATE - ENTERTAIN

#STAYPROGRESSIVE


Learning doesn’t have to be intimidating. At Progressive Mentorship, we believe in making education collaborative, rewarding, and diverse. Whether you’re a tactile learner or a visual learner, we’re here to support your journey.

Progressive Mentorship is led by two ego-free individuals who have been leaders in the Body Art community since the early 2000s. We’re excited to share our knowledge on tattooing and piercing best practices, empowering you to lead with confidence in your skilled trade.

When we founded Progressive Mentorship in 2014, we recognized a gap in formal regulations within our industry, essential for maintaining a safe environment for both studio staff and valued clients. In response, we developed a comprehensive educational program tailored specifically for the Body Art community. Over the years, we’ve hosted dozens of live seminars across Canada, and in 2020, we made our courses available online to ensure everyone continues to have access to reliable information.

Whether you’ve been part of the Body Art community for less than a year or over twenty, these seminars are designed for you. It’s time to open our minds and embrace the idea that we all have something new to learn and share with others. 

At Progressive Mentorship, we’re seriously proud (but not in an annoying way) to offer the most in-depth, industry-specific training led by professionals who are just as passionate about your growth, safety, and success as you are.

The seminar is easy to follow along and Jesse has done a great job at explaining what and how diseases are spread and the best protocols to follow in order to prevent infection. The video and sound are excellent. I look forward to future training and seminars.

Great and relevant information - well spoken and concise. Super relevant to the body modification industry with actual good advice that can be applicable in studios.

This is a great seminar and a must-have for anyone doing body art work. It's very informative and non-intimidating.

Amazing course, great explanations. Definitely the best course of its kind!

Sammy G.

I’ve taken similar courses and this one by far takes the cake. It was professional, fun, informative and most importantly I feel like I actually learned something today!

Chuck D.

These instructors do a great job incorporating their real world experience to what can normally be a dry, but essential, subject in a way that makes the presentation really easy and satisfying!

Diane D. Public Health Inspector

This seminar provided a great opportunity for Public Health to learn infection control practices directly related to tattoo and piercing artists. We learned about new products and equipment being used in the industry and took away practical skills such as tattoo/piercing set up and tear down procedures.
