As good a time as any to announce the
ONE BODY seminar I will be offering at the
Paradise Tattoo Gathering this September 13-16 in
Colorado.
In this seminar I'll discuss the importance of approaching the body as one form. As well as sighting examples of the 'One Body' from an historical context, I'll be demonstrating how to work with the body as a single canvas, how to encourage your
clientèle to see their bodies as one canvas, and how to efficiently make your way down this path.
Thus far, its taken me 20 years of trial and error, success and failure, to reach the point where I am able to efficiently work primarily on large body projects. Certainly I still have much to learn, but feel that now is a good time to impart some of the knowledge I've been hoarding.
For tattooers looking to move in the direction of single tattooer relationships with their
clientèle there may be something for you in this seminar. My hope in giving this seminar is that I will be able to point out some of the obstacles along the path to single tattooer relationships and, in doing so, save other tattooers time and energy so that some might traverse this path with a bit more ease.
If you're interested in attending the seminar you can signup directly
here. Look forward to seeing you.
