1-on-1 seminars

a private seminar experience

Private seminars are the best way to learn as much as possible from me. In these seminars, you will get direct, 1-on-1 instruction from me over the course of an entire day.

I’ll explain my entire tattoo process and answer any and all questions you might have.

You’ll be able to apply your new knowledge immediately to a tattoo which you’ll design and complete with my guidance.

Every seminar is tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Seminar Content

  • You can bring your own client, or the studio will provide one for you. You can also tattoo on fake skin if you prefer.

  • We’ll consult with the client and design together based on the kind of piece you want to learn.

  • I’ll aid you through the placement and stencil process.

  • I’ll guide you through every step of the tattoo, and work on the tattoo to demonstrate my techniques before you try them yourself.

  • We’ll discuss the result of the tattoo, what you did well, and how you can improve in the future.

  • We’ll conduct a portfolio review and discuss your goals moving forward.
