"Difficult body areas requires advanced skills"

Hand tattoos are not easy. Realistic tattoos on hands are even more difficult because you have to take many things into account since realistic tattoos tend to fade on problematic skins by their nature.

As I always say, ‘if you are a beginner, don't tattoo hands or complicated areas like the neck, feet or armpits’. ‘But, when will I be ready to tattoo them?’

In this course, besides teaching you how to tattoo Realism on the hand in two sessions, I will show you the materials I have used, the things you should keep in mind about the skin. I will also give you ideas to make spectacular compositions in areas like this.

Thanks to the information provided by this course, you will acquire the knowledge I have gained in the last ten years’ experience tattooing difficult areas.

You will learn how to make a composition to facilitate the application of details. Besides, you will learn the different parts of the hand: the knuckles, the sides of the hand and the wrist, among others.

This advanced Realistic Tattoo Tutorial features Full-HD videos along with 14 classes where I’ll teach you all the advanced tips about portrait tattoos. Apart from the complete process, this tutorial includes a lesson in which I’ll also show you the retouching process, and I’ll explain when and how it’s better to do it.

Throughout these lessons, you’ll learn:

Despite what you may think, all realistic images are tattooed following the same steps. Should we start by working on the darkest or the lightest areas? Should details be left for last?

There’s always a right way to do it – and in my Mastercourse you'll learn what it is. I'll teach you my methodology, which basically consists in knowing what the appropriate steps to follow are, which type of needle or machine you should use for each tattoo, or why and how you should touch up realistic tattoos. I'll also tell you about composition, photo editing before starting the tattoo process, the workspace, and more. In order to do things correctly you must know what the correct way is.

Did you know that you can identify lines, shadows, and fills in an image through Photoshop?
Is the machine you use the one that works best for you?
