Advanced Tattoo Education both online and in person
How it Works
I will review your portfolio and discuss weaknesses and strengths to pinpoint what aspects of tattooing we should focus on. From 9 to 3 at Ship Shape Tattoo, we will work on those key points to push and progress your tattoos. Starting the morning with a portfolio critique and further discussing points to work on. Using fake skin, pre-stencilled with a design that pushes the weaker parts of your work we will work on a tattoo from start to finish. Breaking for lunch and a few smoke-o’s there will be time also to discuss any other tattoo subjects.
Inks, needles, and fake skin are provided bring your machine.
The workshop is limited to a max of 2 people.
