Portrait Demo

About Course

Welcome to this full-length fine line portrait tattoo demo.

In this session, I’ll be tattooing a deeply meaningful image — a portrait of my client’s grandparents — placed on her upper arm. The piece was completed in 2 hours and 40 minutes, and I’ll be guiding you through the entire process step by step.

You’ll see how I approach everything from stencil prep and placement to needle selection, line work, and soft shading — all while preserving the emotion and character in the original photograph.

Fine line portraiture is about more than accuracy — it’s about translating memories into skin with care and intention. I’ll be explaining my decisions as I go, so whether you’re learning or just watching, I hope you find this both educational and inspiring. Let’s get started.
