Edit's Work

Who Is This For

This seminar is for you if:

You want to understand exactly how Edit gets the results she does.

You stress about choosing a color palette for your tattoos.

You want your tattoos to look just as good years down the line as they do day 1.

You struggle with realism, are told no by mentors or other artists, and have to figure it out yourself.

You think you might have missed some secret art-school rule to take your tattoos to the next level.

This seminar is for professional tattoo artists and apprentices only. You must be comfortable using a tattoo machine. To get the most out of the seminar, it’s recommended that you have at least one year of experience with tattooing on fake skin or real skin.

What You'll Learn

By the end of these 2 days, you’ll understand:

Masterful Shading Techniques: learn various application methods, including smooth gradients and whip shading, to add depth and dimension.

Advanced Coloring Skills: understand color theory and mixing to create vibrant, realistic tattoos.

Realism Portrait Techniques: enhance your ability to create lifelike portraits with advanced detailing, shading, and color blending

Comprehensive Tattoo Process: gain a full overview of every aspect needed to excel as a realism tattoo artist, from preparation to execution. Edit walks you through every step of her exact process.

Sources of Inspiration: learn how to see like an artist, helping you develop your own unique style.

These are only a handful of the topics you will cover. Q&A will be open both days so Edit can answer any questions you might have.

Plus, you’ll be given access to Edit’s pre-recorded, 30-hour online course so you can continue to expand your knowledge and reference her techniques.

“The seminar is so guided. I watch people that have only done linework create a tattoo they can’t believe they did. I love to see how excited they are that they can do something like that.”

What People Say

I learned so much from Edit - not only technically, but also on a soul level. I never thought I'd be able to tattoo something like this - and now I feel so inspired and empowered.

Online seminar student

Edit inspired me to do color after I took her seminar. The way she taught it made so much sense to me and something clicked in my brain. Highly recommend her seminar. She's a lovely teacher.
