The Art Of Layering: Seminar & In-Person Masterclass

With his Art Of Layering seminar, 25 year tattooer and artist Nick Baxter presents a methodical, scientific approach for devising successful multi-session tattoo strategies for large scale or complex designs. Nick's approach aims to shake tattooists free of rigid and limiting  mindsets by presenting the tattoo process in a big picture context, in which any tattooer can find their own unique solutions regardless of genre or style. 

In this class, advanced layering techniques are explained as solutions to many of the complex challenges tattooers face while executing large multi-session pieces.  If you’ve ever felt lost or intimidated by coverups or tackling large work, or are simply looking to add more techniques to your repertoire, this is the seminar for you. It is designed to help you see the tattoo application process in a new way, full of options and logical choices which create efficient workflows and lead to healed results not achievable in single-pass techniques.

Tier one of this event will feature a 2 hour lecture and slide presentation with a brief Q & A afterwards. 

This portion of the event can be joined virtually via zoom link if you can't travel to Ink & Dagger to join in person. Simply purchase the seminar only package here on this page, and details about joining via zoom will be emailed to you prior to the event.

For an additional charge, students may spend the entire day at Ink & Dagger, in which the Q & A will be followed by group tattoo critiques on screen, demonstrating how certain techniques from the seminar can be applied to students' tattoos. Then following a lunch break, Nick will be tattooing and demonstrating some of the layering techniques discussed in his lecture live on a client. Q and A will be available during that time as well, and students may come and go as they please during the approximately 5 hour tattoo session.
