Learn the fundamentals that separate beginners from real tattooers.

Before tattooing, I worked everything from construction to restaurants to sales. I started working with my dad at eight years old, and that early work ethic stuck with me. Sales taught me how to understand people—but art was always the direction I knew I’d end up in.

Everything changed when I saw a realism tattoo in a magazine and thought, “I didn’t even know tattoos could look that real.” That moment set the standard for me.

I earned my apprenticeship at Defining Skin, and since then I’ve been obsessed with improving my craft—studying realism, practicing daily, and working across mediums like graphite, oil painting, and digital art to sharpen my precision and control.

Over the years, I’ve noticed the same pattern: most beginners don’t fail because they lack talent—they fail because they skip the fundamentals.

That’s why I built the Tattoo Fundamentals Course.

This program teaches the discipline, pressure control, and line consistency that should come before a machine ever touches skin. Because in tattooing, control comes first. Everything else builds on that.
