Terms & Conditions

The terms on which we provide our fine line tattoo courses. Last updated June 2026.

1. About us

These terms apply to courses booked with Manchester Fine Line Tattoo Academy, 155B Manchester Road, Manchester BL9 0TD. Manchester Fine Line Tattoo Academy is a trading name of Elite Training Courses Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17098852. By booking a course you agree to these terms.

2. Booking and payment

A place is confirmed once we have acknowledged your booking and received your deposit or full payment. Where a deposit is taken, the balance is due before the course start date unless we agree otherwise in writing. Prices are as shown on the site at the time of booking.

3. Deposits, cancellations and refunds

Deposits are non-refundable. They secure your place from the moment you book, which means we stop offering it to anyone else and reserve preparation and materials for you. Because we teach in small groups, a place given up late often cannot be filled again.

Where you have paid the full course fee upfront and later wish to cancel, we reserve the right to reduce any refund by the deposit amount for that course, which is £200.

All cancellation and rescheduling requests must be made in writing by email to info@manchesterfinelinetattooacademy.co.uk. We cannot accept them by phone, text or social media.

Where a cancellation or rescheduling request is made within 14 days of the course start date, we reserve the right to withhold the full amount paid and issue no refund.

If you need to move to a later date, please give us as much notice as possible and we will do our best to accommodate one transfer. If we cancel or reschedule a course, you may choose an alternative date or a full refund of amounts paid.

Nothing in this section affects any statutory cancellation rights you may have as a consumer.

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to attend. Our beginner courses require no prior experience. You are responsible for arranging any model you are asked to bring and for ensuring they consent and are eligible to be tattooed.

5. Health and safety

We teach to recognised hygiene standards, including Infection Prevention & Control Level 2. You agree to follow all safety instructions during the course. Please tell us in advance of any health condition that may affect your participation.

6. Certification and licensing

On completion you receive a CPD accredited certificate. Completing a course does not by itself authorise you to tattoo professionally; you are responsible for obtaining any local council registration or licence required in your area, which we will explain during the course.

7. Intellectual property

Course materials, including our manual and resources, are provided for your personal learning and may not be copied, resold or redistributed.

8. Liability

We take reasonable care in delivering our courses. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes are subject to the courts of England and Wales.
