“I so wish that Dean
Deakyne's instructional DVDs had been available when I first picked up
a tattoo machine. As I've been a professional fine artist for many years,
I decided to try tattooing on my own, thinking...."I can draw and
paint, how hard can it be to tattoo?" I soon found out that without
any guidance, it was very hard indeed.
Then I had the breakthrough experience of watching Dean's
instructional DVDs. Dean actually tattoos
the pieces while you watch and narrates step by step, so
there's no guesswork about what he's doing. Every basic
question I had previously (and many
advanced ones, as well) were answered, from artistic to practical.”

In this informative DVD, Dean Deakyne
takes you through the beginning steps necessary to complete
your first tattoo. Practice 'skins' are the perfect starting
point to refine a beginner's skills and get you more comfortable
with the tattoo machine. Dean shows you how to begin the design
process, leading to a final drawing that will be turned into
a stencil and applied to the 'skin'. He then explains how to
properly set up a sanitary tattoo station and gives an in-depth
overview of all the equipment needed for the tattoo procedure.
Dean demonstrates the different ways to approach black shading
for various looks within a design and he also shows how to
properly apply color, while keeping your practice design as
clean and solid as these skins will allow. This educational
DVD is packed full of information that will help get beginning
tattoo artists over the hurdles that they often face in the
early stages of their careers.
1 3/4 hours of lecture.
