We’re pleased to announce a significant price reduction for our seminar in Nepal. In consideration of the local tattoo market, we’ve adjusted the cost from $250 USD to just $100 USD. We hope this makes the seminar more accessible to tattoo artists in the region, allowing more people to join us for this unique and enriching experience.

This will be the final presentation of Universal Tattooing. Join us for a transformative three-hour seminar crafted over the past five years, specifically for tattoo artists looking to elevate their skills through a deeper understanding of the psychology and mindsets behind the art. We’ll explore the powerful impact tattoos have on both the artist and the client, highlighting the crucial role of intention, connection, and purpose in your work.

Jeff Gogue, renowned for his transformative influence on the tattoo industry, will guide us through a four-hour session that blends his unique perspective with hands-on craftsmanship. He’ll share personal stories and insights and celebrate 25 years of tattooing. Together, we’ll explore how to see the bigger picture of our work—why we do it, the deeper significance of the art, and how to create meaningful, lasting impressions for both our clients and the community.

Among the discussion points

• Mindsets and Psychology in Tattooing: We'll explore how deep psychological perspectives and mindsets play a role in the tattooing process. What mental approaches should both the artist and the client bring to the table?

• Symbolism and Storytelling Through Art: Tattoos often go beyond the skin—they tell stories. We'll dive into how symbols, metaphors, and imagery can convey powerful messages and personal narratives.

• Designing for Impact: Whether it's a small, intricate piece or a full-body design, the way you plan and layout your tattoos matters. We'll discuss techniques for designing everything from tiny tattoos to full coverage.

• Building the Artist-Client Relationship: Understanding your client is key to creating meaningful tattoos. We'll talk about how to foster a strong, communicative relationship between the artist and the client.

• Creating Your Brand as an Artist: It's not just about the art—it's about who you are as an artist. We'll cover how to develop your persona and market yourself effectively in the tattoo industry.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals. Sign up now to reserve your spot and take the first step towards a more enlightened and impactful tattooing journey—limited seating.

Following the seminar, we will host a happy hour to mingle and connect and will have a stocked merch table with T-shirts, stickers, and prints designed just for this event.
