By far the best online course, no contest: nobody explains like Charly. He has an incredible level of knowledge and explains it in a simple, direct way. I recommend it 1000%.

Why this is not just another course
Learn by seeing every decision.
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.

He clearly explains how to adapt complex designs to very small sizes without losing definition or durability. The part on color, saturation and needle choice especially stands out, with practical tips you can apply from the very first moment.

A beast with the machine, he explains calmly and takes his time. I wish I had the money to buy every masterclass, because I'm opening a tattoo studio and it would come in really handy. A beast, seriously. I hope I get to meet you in person one day.

The course is really worth it. Little by little, with Charly's tips, I'm polishing my skills and making increasingly realistic pieces. Very happy with the course.

Before you choose
Find your starting point.
A good fit 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.
Before you get started
- 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.
