Excelente curso, de lo mejor que hay en referencia a los cursos de tatuajes. La maestra instruye de forma directa, con mucha metodología y con un discurso directo y efectivo. Gracias a este curso pude diseñar mis primeras plantillas utilizando referencias de Pinterest lo que me permitió crear un stencil que utilicé para tatuar a un amigo un diseño que lo dejó muy satisfecho.

PlusThis is not a beginner course! You need basic knowledge in navigating the step she discusses. I am very disappointed. I did see tips and techniques that would be useful if I knew how to accomplish the steps to get there. I would not recommend this course for a beginner.
