a third place presents
tattoo for beginners
a three part series on the foundations of the art of tattoo
june 6th, 20th and 27th
rsvp to session 1 here, session 2 here, session 3 here
what to expect
local new york tattoo artist Angel has designed a thoughtful learning curriculum to be digested in three parts. these sessions can build as you go or you can take individually!
ad hoc or as a package:
individual Sessions - $100/each (June 6th, 20th OR 27th)
package of three sessions - $250 (June 6th, 20th AND 27th) — at checkout, pay total amount but still rsvp to all sessions!
session 1 - 6/6 - let’s learn the basics!
the first session will focus on getting used to the machine, we’ll be learning lines, spend time free styling tattoo on fruit for practice and we will learn how to stencil on fake skin (it’s harder than you think!)
pre-work [optional] - feel free to find reference photos for inspiration during free style time!
session 2 - 6/20 - let’s get shading!
in our second session we’ll start with a warm up practicing on fruit. then we’re going to move practice tattooing with our fake skin we stenciled in session one. our focus will be lines, adding in filling in spaces (blacking out).
pre-work [optional] - If you have a design you’d like to practice in session three, Angel can give you feedback live ahead of stencil printing!
session 3 - 6/27 - let’s get customizing!
in our third session, we’ll start with a warm up to get used to using the machines again. then we’ll move into color packing, lettering, and you’ll get to practice your custom design stencil on fake skin! as always, there will be time for free styling :)
pre-work [pptional] - email your custom design ahead of time for the stencil!
