1 on 1 Mentor program

From centuries of collective cultural wisdom, the Japanese have developed a saying:

“Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher."

While diligent self-study and practice is the basis for growth, working entirely on your own can lead to bad habits or dead ends. I spent years tediously figuring out things through process of elimination, often resulting in frustration and more confusion. Deeply rooted in the Japanese concept of a meishō (master craftsman), this proverb stresses that the appropriate mentor can spot misunderstandings instantly and compress years of trial-and-error into single transformative lessons.

This is what the mentor program I have created a few years ago is for. To help serious, committed, and passionate professionals develop even further, being on the technical, creative, or business side of things. All of this with the goal of contributing to the whole craft.

What do we focus on in the program?

Drawing.
Painting.
Planning and executing a tattoo.
Developing creative projects and building your name and network.
Structure, accountability and long-term focus.

These are the aspects that make up a successful career. I can help you improve by focusing individually on each one, and bring it back into the big picture, sharing my 25 years of experience around the world.

What you’ll get:

- A dedicated platform with modules that explain the foundations of topics such as structural drawing, composition, mechanics of different styles, painting theory and technique, etc.

- Tailored assignments to build your technical skills through feedback loop

-Zoom calls to keep you accountable, criticize the assignments, draw together, optimize your efforts

- Long term strategy

- Assistance in between calls with ongoing projects

How to apply in 3 steps

  • STEP 1

    We will start with an initial VETTING PROCESS, to make sure we’re on the same page in regard to goals, efforts, and attitudes toward tattooing. I want to share this knowledge with people that display an ambitious and still humble, hardworking, and respectful mindset.

    *You must have at least two years of experience in shops (no apprentices).

  • STEP 2

    After the vetting phase we will have a FREE ASSESSMENT SESSION, a 30’ chat on Zoom. This is for me to understand better if and how I can help you, and for you to give you more details about how the program works, so that you can take a better decision.

  • STEP 3

    After the assessment session, according to chat we had and available spots, I will walk you through the logistics of booking the classes and we will secure the spot with a deposit.
