Education

One of my greatest passions is sharing the tattoo and art experience I’ve gained over the years. Partnering with Eden has allowed me to offer multiple ways to learn from me depending on your budget and specific skillset.

I also have a special seminar email list at the bottom of the page where you can sign up and be notified when new events are announced.

 

Hands-On Seminars

These seminars are 2 days. The first day, I’ll do a lecture and then a live tattoo start to finish. The second day, participants will have the opportunity to recreate the same tattoo on fake skin while I walk around and provide 1-on-1 instruction. I will also be doing an interactive design critique based on a prompt I will provide the day prior.

 

Private seminars

Private, 1-on-1 seminars can be booked on any date and the content is tailored for each individual participant. These seminars consist of us collaborating on a tattoo while I give you specific instructions to tattoo exactly the way I would. We’ll also conduct a thorough portfolio review.

 

PORtfolio reviews

Portfolio reviews can be conducted virtually. We’ll go over some of your tattoos or designs and I’ll give you constructive feedback on how to improve moving forward. We’ll also discuss your goals and how you can achieve them.

 

eden symposiums

Eden Symposiums feature multiple artists doing a lecture/presentation over the course of two days. These events are hosted in both the summer and winter and each event features a different lineup of artists. These presenters are among some of the most prestigious in the industry and are all hand-chosen by myself and our Eden team.

These events are suitable for any tattoo artist of any skill level.

Nipple seminars

I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to share the knowledge I’ve gained on reconstructive nipple tattooing. I do these seminars free of charge for artists who also want to give away this service for free. Each seminar features a lecture, live tattoo, and interactive portion. I do not currently have a date for my next nipple seminar, so join my seminar email list to be notified when it is announced.

TESTIMONIALS

Deanna was a fantastic instructor, knowledgeable, patient and so encouraging! Her perspective and artistic terminology was so refreshing and inspiring and she really focused on making sure we as her students took home a new technique or thought process to apply to our own work. I look forward to taking many more seminars with her and continuing to expand my knowledge and craft!

Deanna’s seminar was soo worth it!! She was able to translate her background in oil paintings into the fine art of tattooing perfectly. Great mentor, I learned so much & would definitely sign up for her next one.

I had an amazing experience during Deanna’s seminar in NYC. You could tell how important it was to her that each of us fully grasped what she was teaching us throughout. Day one we watched Deanna tattoo with the techniques/method she spoke of earlier on. She answered questions throughout and had a camera showing on a TV screen her view of the tattoo. The second day we practiced the same design she tattooed, on fake skin. She came around to each person multiple times throughout the practice. I was very nervous because I’m shy and I’ve never done an in person seminar before. Deanna was kind, patient and enthusiastic to teach. I learned so much more than I expected and I hope to take more seminars from Deanna in the future. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge.

I have been to 2 of Deanna’s seminars and I can tell you of all the seminars I’ve been to, hers were the best and most favorite ones. She’s very humble and her teachings are very easy to understand. Her techniques have helped me in so many ways. Everyone at Eden makes you feel welcome and at home as well. I cannot express my gratitude from learning from such a great teacher… and person. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and most importantly , to be able to call Deanna , Colton and everyone at Eden… FRIENDS. Can’t wait for the next!!

Deanna’s seminar completely transformed the way I look at art and my approach to tattooing. All of her techniques I have implemented into my work and the experience of this seminar with Eden Body Art Studios continues to inspire me daily. This has turned out to be quite the investment in my career and I’m very grateful.

Deanna’s seminar was such an amazing experience. Watching her execute her process, first hand, in person was incredible. Her one-on-one instruction on the second day was invaluable. Deanna and the Eden crew were open and welcoming. They made us feel like we were all part of the family. The entire seminar was an incredibly inspiring experience. I loved every minute.

I left there with a new flame of inspiration lit with in me. Being able to have her go over theory and explain her techniques bridged so many gaps I didn’t even know I was missing. I’ve already seen improvements in my art and my tattoos. I am so grateful she was willing to share this information with other tattoo artists. She’s also a gem of a person, who is super easy to talk to. This was beyond worth it in so many ways.

Thank you guys again for the amazing experience, I learned so much more than I expected, and Deanna really is a pioneer for her style. It was really great to see how she applied all of her concepts to a tattoo in front of us all.

Attending Deanna’s seminar was one of the best decisions I’ve made to grow as a tattoo artist. Some of the design and composition rules she talked about I’ve heard before, but the way she was able to explain it made it click and I often refer back to the slides from the seminar when designing a new piece. Her teaching was very thorough no matter how you learn best, starting with hearing, then watching, and then doing. I also value the connections I made with other artists who are just as motivated and hungry to better their skills. I truly could not have asked for a better experience!
— Leah (@leahross_tattoo), Dallas Seminar
One of the things I liked the most about the seminar it’s how it was structured, if your mind tends to learn more with theory, the first section of this seminar will give you a lot to learn and makes you keep revisiting your notes for weeks!

If you learn better by watching others do, seeing Deanna’s process in person, and being able to ask questions it’s very mind-opening because she’s an open book during this time!

Or if you prefer learning by doing! The next day you’ll have a chance to put into practice all that you learned the day before and receive input and tips during the process!

This seminar has inspired me to create art again on my own, experiment with new things in my process, trust in my artistic vision and share it with everyone

Besides all the technical stuff that you can learn (that it’s a lot), her personality makes the whole mood super nice for everyone and invites you to be comfortable with asking questions!
