Do you want to take your tattoo career to the next level?
No matter your experience level—whether you’re doing your first tattoos and want to feel more confident and improve your workflow, or you’ve been tattooing for years and want to refine your techniques and expand your knowledge—we offer a personalized approach for every student.
Welcome to our Intensive Tattoo Course, taking place on April 18th and 19th
? From March 18th onwards, remote support will be provided for all attendees.
The course will be held at ARTE SANO TATTOO SUPPLIES, Bilbao.
Do you want to learn:
The fundamentals of designing artwork specifically for tattooing?
How to work with shadows correctly?
How to achieve strong and well-saturated colors?
Ivanuko, a veteran artist with over 27 years of experience as a tattoo artist and more than 10 years in the tattoo industry, will be sharing his knowledge with you.
He will be joined by Nacho, a tattoo artist with over 8 years of experience, who will support students throughout the entire course.
Get ready to immerse yourself in a real tattoo studio environment. This weekend will give you first-hand experience of how professional tattooing works: creating exclusive designs for clients, understanding client care, and working with the mindset of a professional artist.
You will truly feel what it means to be a tattoo artist—respecting every piece and giving your absolute best in every job.
This 2-day in-person course will teach you the essential techniques and insider knowledge needed to grow as a professional tattoo artist.
An advanced level is not required—the course adapts to your experience—but you must have tattooed before, even if only on synthetic skin.
