Tattoo Seminars tour and s&!t *NEW DATES*
My guys will be working the booth and I will be selling my book and s&!t.
Justin Weatherholtz, Dave Tedder, Sean Herman, Ted Wallen, Mike Macmahon, Albie Rock will be alternating shows to work and tattoo - I will NOT be tattooing! Just teaching.
Heres what the "Brandon Bond" seminar covers...
EVERYTHING.
I start at the beginning and discuss image placement, selection of illustration, photo reference, body positioning, cropping an image, enlarging, talking clients into bigger and better artwork, beginning a custom portfolio, and then begin a technical discussion. An open discourse of question and answer involving everything from making the stencil, whether to even use lines or not and how to properly do both, machines, needles, ink selection, color pallette, COLOR BLENDING, how to get a client to be able to sit longer, highlights, negative space, and when a tattoo is really finished.
Then we enter a discussion of how to properly photograph and image, what magazines are looking for and how to get the right shots. Unhealed vs. healed tattoo photos, background, cropping, printing etc. Where to send it (all attendees recieve the "secret list" of worldwide publications, contact numbers, editors names, best times of year to send your s&!t etc.) How to get an ARTICLE in a tattoo magazine, what to send and what NOT to send, when and how often to send it, as well as web presence, promotion, running a buisness, attracting great artists to work for you, the price of tea in china, and what the f@#k ever anyone wants to know - I also generally give out free beers to anyone who wants a frosty beverage.
