Free Webinar
Free Webinar to educate experienced tattoo artists how to read & work with scar tissue.
My mission is to use my vast experience as a traditional & medical tattoo expert & TEDx speaker to educate tattoo artists on how to safely & confidently work with different types of scar tissue so people living with physical traumas of their past can have them covered with beautiful artwork!
I still hear of people TO THIS DAY being turned away when enquiring at studios about a scar cover up - this can cause feelings of shame when people already feel self conscious of their scars.
As a tattoo community, I believe we can do better!
In my free online workshop I will share with you
- Different types of scar tissue
- How to assess scar tissue
- Questions to ask clients
- What to consider when tattooing scar tissue
