What People Say
She has this way of shifting your perspective. She’s the one that helped us understand that beyond technique, beyond composition, what really matters is emotion.
@marily_tattoo
Deanna really broke down the process and made it easy to understand. I took a lot out of this, more than just technique.
@mallorylynntattoos
It’s been a really amazing and one-of-a-kind experience that I’ve never had before in 10 years of tattooing.
@nacl4
Here I could really practice and have Deanna’s feedback in real time so you don’t make the same mistakes you normally do. She can give you guidance on whatever you need so you can perform the best.
