2nd ANNIVERSARY SUMMER MOTOR CITY TATTOO EXPO
Price: FREE
Many Tattoo Artists in the industry have learned their techniques by replicating from their mentors or from other tattoos they saw. This path has led many artists to repeat certain “formulas” without knowing the real reason they make these choices or why these formulas work. Some artists just line and color simply because they were taught that’s what works.
Through academic fundamentals, using reference outside of tattooing, and the experimentation process, this seminar will open the artistic spectrum to artists of all mediums. Whether you are a painter, tattoo artist, or just interested in learning more about the art process, this will help you stray from mimicking other artists and find your path to building an artistic style.
Registration: $200. Call Dark Age Tattoo Studio M-F at 940-898-8200 to register.
