Make it happen at Nottingham College

From sketching as a child to building a career as a tattoo artist and aspiring art therapist, Freddie's journey shows that it's never too late to follow your passion.🎨🖊️ After studying Fine Art at university level with Nottingham College, Freddie developed not only her artistic skills but also the confidence to shape a career that combines creativity with helping others. She completed her Foundation Degree while balancing a tattoo apprenticeship in Nottingham, before spending several years developing her skills as a professional tattoo artist. Wanting to explore fine art even further, she later returned to Nottingham College to complete her full Bachelor's degree. Today, Freddie has been a tattoo artist for six years and is taking the next steps towards a Master's in Art Therapy. Her goal is to work with young people, particularly those with autism and ADHD, using creativity as a powerful tool for self-expression and wellbeing. "This course gave me the skills and the time to work out what I wanted to do." As a member of our Alumni Network, Freddie hopes her story encourages others to pursue what they love and discover where it can take them.
