WHAT IT’S LIKE TO TAKE A SEMINAR WITH DEANNA

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

  • “Deanna’s seminar was such an amazing experience. Watching her execute her process, first hand, in person was incredible. Her one-on-one instruction on the second day was invaluable."

  • “Deanna’s seminar completely transformed the way I look at art and my approach to tattooing. All of her techniques I have implemented into my work and the experience of this seminar with Eden Body Art Studios continues to inspire me daily."

  • “Deanna’s seminar was soo worth it!! She was able to translate her background in oil paintings into the fine art of tattooing perfectly. Great mentor, I learned so much & would definitely sign up for her next one.”

  • “I have been to 2 of Deanna’s seminars and I can tell you of all the seminars I’ve been to, hers were the best and most favorite ones. She’s very humble and her teachings are very easy to understand. Her techniques have helped me in so many ways. Everyone at Eden makes you feel welcome and at home as well. I cannot express my gratitude from learning from such a great teacher… and person. "

  • “Deanna was a fantastic instructor, knowledgeable, patient and so encouraging! Her perspective and artistic terminology was so refreshing and inspiring and she really focused on making sure we as her students took home a new technique or thought process to apply to our own work. I look forward to taking many more seminars with her and continuing to expand my knowledge and craft!”

  • “I left there with a new flame of inspiration lit with in me. Being able to have her go over theory and explain her techniques bridged so many gaps I didn’t even know I was missing. I’ve already seen improvements in my art and my tattoos. I am so grateful she was willing to share this information with other tattoo artists. She’s also a gem of a person, who is super easy to talk to. This was beyond worth it in so many ways.
