"Every great artist begins with love for the craft —
but love alone is not enough. To reach excellence, you must become obsessed."
Seminars
My seminars are designed for artists who are ready to step beyond comfort — to refine their technique, deepen their discipline, and expand their creative mind.
This is not a beginner course.
This is for those who are already walking the path — and want to transcend it.
Each seminar is intimate, intense, and focused on developing true technical and artistic mastery.
You will learn not only how to tattoo — but why the choices you make matter.

What to Expect
Learning from me is not
about shortcuts.
It’s about understanding — light, skin, rhythm, and intent.
You will see how emotion and precision merge to create work that feels alive.
Expect an environment built on respect, discipline, and real mentorship.
Expect honesty — I teach what most won’t.
Expect to be challenged — mentally, technically, and creatively.
These sessions are immersive, designed to shift the way you think, create, and approach your craft.
You’ll leave with more than knowledge — you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and the hunger to evolve.

This is not about being “better than others.”
This is about becoming better than yourself every single day. My goal is to give you the tools, structure, and mindset to create with purpose, precision, and soul.
You will not leave inspired... you will leave transformed. “Love is what starts the journey. Obsession is what keeps you walking it.”
