One-on-one
Personalized guidance, built around what you need.
There isn’t one fixed way to work with me one-to-one.
Some people come to me with something very specific they want to improve — painting, drawing, composition, tattooing, workflow, or creative direction.
Others are looking for something broader: the kind of guidance and mentorship they wish they’d had earlier in their career. Someone experienced to look at their work from the outside, help them recognize what needs attention, challenge them when necessary, and give them a clearer direction.
That can become a longer collaboration where we work across different parts of your practice as it develops — from technical and artistic questions to the way you work, make decisions, and navigate your career.
We start with where you are, what you want to improve, and what would actually be useful to you. From there, we figure out what working together should look like.
The point is to understand what you need and work from there.
What we can work on
Painting · Drawing · Composition · Tattooing · Style · Creative direction · Workflow · Professional direction · Marketing and Networking
We don’t necessarily work on all of these. We work on what makes sense for you.
Painting can also be the entire focus, whether you’re an experienced artist or you’ve barely touched a brush.
How I work
Simplify and Optimize
My approach is based on a simple principle: break things down, understand the parts, improve them individually, then put them back together.
Whether we’re working on composition, Japanese, drawing, your workflow or your career, we turn big, overwhelming problems into specific things we can actually work on.
We also look beyond tattooing when useful — at art, design, business, psychology or wherever else we can find tools that help us move forward.
The aim is to give you a clear direction and a system you can use independently, so your time and energy go toward the things that will make the biggest difference.
Testimonials
Interested in working together?
Tell me a little about yourself, your work, what you’d like to improve, and where you feel you need some help.
If I think I can genuinely help, I’ll get back to you and we can figure out what kind of one-to-one work would make the most sense for you.
There’s no need to know exactly what you need before getting in touch. That’s something we can figure out together.
Price & next steps
Getting in touch doesn’t commit you to anything. Once I’ve read through your form, I’ll get back to you with what I think would make sense, including the format and price, so you can decide if it feels right for you. No stress.
