What People Are Saying…

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    “I’m an artist from Denmark with 12 years tattoo experience. I attended a seminar at guru tattoo, hosted by Aaron and Sean. The topic was large scale compositions in tattooing. Although their styles are very different from what I do, it showed me their way to approach a drawing, and work it to apply it to the body. A great insight to me and how to incorporate it in my own work”

    “Can’t think of a better way for an artist to spend the day than what I just experienced at Guru’s workshop with Aaron and Sean. Very informative, fun sharing of ideas and camaraderie amongst not just the presenters but the group as a whole. Great vibes 10/10 I will definitely be back!”

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Aaron and Sean’s seminar was a great experience for me. I’ve always admired both of their work, so it was an honor to be invited. What stood out was how they combined theory with practical application, it really helped me understand their approach and vision on a deeper level. One of my favorite parts was that we were constantly drawing throughout the seminar, which made it easier to connect with the concepts they were explaining. It was a very inspiring and helpful experience, and I walked away with a lot of valuable insights I can apply to my own work.
