Tattoo Demo on Mother’s Day

At Paint Ontario, I will demonstrate the tattooing process using practice skin.  The process is exactly the same as tattooing on a real person, the same machines, techniques and attention to detail, but instead of human skin, I will work on a latex practice skin.  As I work, the tattoo needle leaves marks in the material, allowing the design to gradually take shape. Visitors will be able to watch the process step by step and see how a tattoo is built from the first lines to the finished image.  This demonstration offers a close look at the craftsmanship, precision and artistry behind tattooing. I will answer questions and talk about the process as I work. I have been tattooing professionally for seven years and enjoy sharing the art and techique with others
