The World's Only Tattoo School has left an indelible mark on its students, propelling those who successfully complete the intense two-week course into a career as a tattoo artist. From disabled veterans to high-school dropouts, students from all walks of life travel to Shreveport, La., to attend the classes taught by Dr. Bill Pogue, the school's owner and lead instructor. This series profiles those hopefuls looking to gain the knowledge, skills and experience to begin a new life in the ultracompetitive tattoo industry. They're given challenges that mimic the situations they may find themselves in as a working tattoo artist, and upon graduation, the student with the best final, original tattoo is gifted with a golden tattoo gun.
