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.

"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.<br>
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."
