Join Hanna Kello, owner/operator, and artist at Hive Tattoo Studio for this informative seminar where she breaks down how an artist can push past creative limitations, refine technical skills, and build a sustainable career in a demanding industry.
This seminar is structured to support both seasoned tattooers and those newer to the craft by focusing on artistic growth, technical refinement, and professional well-being. You will explore the evolution of tattooing and how historical traditions influence modern techniques and styles while emphasizing actionable strategies to improve creativity, color application, shading techniques, and composition.
This session will also address a critical issue within the industry---burnout. Many tattoo artists struggle with maintaining creative momentum, managing physical and mental exhaustion, and setting boundaries with clients. You will discuss practical methods for preventing burnout, self-care techniques tailored for artists, and strategies for maintaining longevity in the field.
Additionally, the seminar will cover portfolio development on a professional level, providing guidance on structuring a portfolio that attracts clients, shop owners, and convention opportunities, along with a live critique session. The business and ethics portion will focus on professionalism, client education, and setting healthy boundaries to create a fulfilling, long-term career.
