Portside Tattoo Apprenticeship

PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY NOT TAKING NEW APPRENTICES

 At Portside, we’re proud to support the next generation of Pensacola tattoo artists through our tattoo apprenticeship program. Our apprentices are honing their craft and building their tattoo portfolios, and we're excited to share their journey with you. 

Below you'll find bios of our apprentices, along with examples of their evolving artwork. 

Interested in booking a tattoo with one of our talented apprentices? Reach out directly through the contact info provided or use our booking form in the How To Book section of this website.


IMPORTANT!

Tattoos created by our apprentices during their tattoo apprenticeship are offered at a reduced price as they work to perfect their skills. While we’re confident in their passion and dedication, please keep in mind that these tattoos are part of their learning process, and the results may vary. We encourage you to explore their tattoo portfolios and reach out with any questions before booking.

Jaden Vargason

Hi! I'm Jaden. 


I’m currently undergoing a tattoo apprenticeship here in Pensacola under Jason, where I’m learning everything I can from the ground up. I specialize in full color tattoos and love bringing bold, vibrant designs to life. I really enjoy doing anything trippy, weird, unique... I am down for all of it.


Every piece I create is done with care and focus, with the goal of growing stronger as a tattoo artist with each tattoo. I’m passionate about crafting art that holds meaning for my clients, and I’m always open to new ideas and inspiration. 


As I continue to learn and build my tattoo portfolio, I’m grateful for every person who trusts me with their skin. Let’s grow together—one colorful tattoo at a time.

Hey, I'm Celeste. 

I'm currently in my tattoo apprenticeship at Portside Tattoo in Pensacola, FL! 

Over the last 9 months, I've been honing my skills under the guidance of my amazing mentor, Dustin. I have a passion for creating both color and black and grey realism pieces, as well as anything trippy. 

While I love to work on these styles, I’m eager to expand my skills by learning from various tattoo artists and exploring different techniques. 

I look forward to contributing to this shop’s incredible vibes and helping clients wear art they can be proud of, showcasing my evolving tattoo portfolio!
