Three formats, one goal: you should tattoo better after the course than before. Whether as a workshop in a group, a day over a professional's shoulder or a one-to-one seminar — the difference is how much time is yours alone. All three take place at the studio in Hamburg-Borgfelde, on real equipment and with Cheyenne gear.

The group seminar is aimed at tattoo artists who want to develop their skills in a focused way and deepen their understanding of Black & Grey realism. Over two days, A-Dem personally guides the participants through theory and practice. The first day focuses on topics such as design build-up, composition, technique and workflows. On the second day, participants apply what they have learned directly on their own models. Throughout the entire session, A-Dem supports each participant individually, gives feedback, corrects mistakes and demonstrates techniques directly on the respective work. The small group size leaves plenty of time for personal questions and individual guidance.

Live client session
1 day1,000 € incl. VAT
In this seminar, the participant accompanies A-Dem through a real client session and gains an unfiltered insight into his complete workflow. From the first conversation through design development to the finished tattoo, every step is explained transparently. Questions are welcome at any time: A-Dem explains his decisions, techniques and approaches directly while working. This creates a realistic insight into the everyday life of a professional tattoo artist – without prepared demonstrations or staged situations.

Exclusive 1:1 mentoring
2 days2,800 € incl. VAT
The private seminar offers the most intensive form of training. Two full days are dedicated exclusively to the participant and their individual goals. Together with A-Dem, strengths and weaknesses are analysed, working methods are optimised and technical as well as creative skills are developed in a targeted way. The first day focuses on theory, analysis and individual solutions. On the second day, the participant works on their own model while A-Dem accompanies the entire session and steps in directly when it makes sense. The personal mentoring allows topics to be covered in much greater depth than in a group seminar.
