TESTIMONIALS

What Students Have Said

Alex Asad

"This course has really changed me as an artist. It’s changed the way I look for references, my approach to tattoos, and my mindset about tattooing. My wife still praises this course every time I do a tattoo she loves. I couldn’t thank you enough for allowing me to take it. I appreciate what you do for tattooing."

Amber Dawn-Macdonald

*"The course layout was great! Learning about light sources, simplifying shapes, blocking in shadows, and using soft and hard edges brought back things I had forgotten from art school. Each week built on the last, and I saw major improvements in my tattooing. Never stop learning!"

Riz Yiu

"After two years of apprenticeship, I felt stuck. I lacked a solid foundation and logical understanding of my drawing. This course helped me rebuild my drawing skills, starting with basic concepts like shapes, values, and shadows. It’s incredibly well-planned, progressing from foundational skills to creative thinking. I’ve not only improved my art but also gained a new mindset from the Fireside team. Huge respect to the Fireside Tattoo Network!"
