We solve the common problems.
The four problems Charly sees every day in nano realism colour portraits. How they get solved in this session, in order.
At 3 cm I lose the detail: it ends up looking like a blob
Nano realism isn’t shrinking down large-scale realism, it’s building it from scratch at that scale. You learn what goes inside 3 cm and what doesn’t, and how to place the highlights so the eye reads the piece.
The reds turn yellow as they heal
Reds aren’t applied like the rest of the colours. You learn to place them in order, in which layer, and how to seal them so they heal vivid instead of dull.
My saturation drops out after a few months
The exact depth and speed so the colour stays inside the skin without trauma. Go too hard and the piece pushes the pigment out; too soft and it doesn’t go in.
The whites cover the detail instead of separating it
The whites go in at the end, in a minimal amount and with a specific mix. You learn the formula so the highlights separate without eating into the drawing.
Why this is not just another course
You watch the real session. Not an edit without mistakes.
Real session, no cuts
You see the tattoo from the first line to the final highlight. No edit covers up mistakes.

How the piece is built
Six phases. A full session in real time.
What you'll see, in the order it happens. No loose clips without context. The whole piece from start to finish.
- 01
Table and stencil
Full setup. Machines at low voltage, a layered palette and a stencil that holds up through the whole session.
- 02
Initial mapping
Liner 9 with a micro-tip. Pre-mapping the face, mouth and details before you lose the stencil.
- 03
Base layers
First diluted layer. Low voltage and a circular motion to open the skin without trauma.
- 04
Layers and saturation
Successive layers with room to spare. Each pass leaves space for the next, without oversaturating.
- 05
Detail and contrast
Fine needle and micro-tip. Precision over skin that’s already been worked, without breaking it.
- 06
Final whites
Highlights from the bottom up. One clean pass, without overworking the skin.

Before you join
Who it's for. And who it's not.
This is for you if…
- You’ve been tattooing for 1-3 years and you want to make the jump to 3 cm pieces with real detail.
- You work with saturated colour and you notice you lose definition at this scale.
- You want to learn to build a palette for colour realism in small format.
- You’re starting to get a handle on tattooing techniques and you want to move your career forward down the realism path.
Not for you if…
- You’ve never touched a machine. Start with the beginner seminar first.
- You don’t have much interest in realism.
- You expect to tattoo perfectly the moment you finish. This is a method: you internalise it by practising and going back to the lessons every time you forget a detail.
