Inside this course
Correct the most common mistakes
Learn what to adjust and how to apply it to your next tattoo.
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 setup and stencil
Strokes, needles and a stencil that holds up through the whole session.
- 02
Structure and mapping
Reference water lines and the first darks.
- 03
Base layers, from darks to lights
The tonal order that keeps the colour from getting contaminated.
- 04
Saturation by layers, not by pressure
It builds up in layers, with rest, without driving the needle into the skin.
- 05
Detail and textures at low voltage
A slow hand and a fine needle for the textures, without oversaturating.
- 06
Highlights and finishing
White at the end, a barrier line and a velvet effect.

Your bonuses for joining today
Everything you get today:
Alongside the complete colour pet masterclass, you get the session reference, design and stencil, Charly's answers and your certificate. Material so you do not just look at the piece: you can repeat it and take it to any pet.
More than four hours with Charly tattooing a colour pet portrait from start to finish, no cuts and no timelapses. A single session, no background, at micro scale of 3 to 5 centimetres. You’ll see how the work goes by zones in order (the coat, the face and the cigar) so the colour doesn’t get contaminated, how saturation is added in layers without breaking the skin and how the piece is closed sticker-style with the white barrier line. Every decision, gauges, voltages and the order of the tones, explained at the exact moment it happens.
Declared value: 151 $You get the pet’s reference, the design and the stencil ready to use, plus the high-definition photographs of the final result. You don’t go hunting for the reference: you go straight to skin, and you apply the system to any pet.
Declared value: 49 $Send your doubts or questions about technique, clients or business, whatever it is, and every 1-2 months we’ll record a session answering them. You’ll also have access to the past ones.
Declared value: 119 $When you finish the training, we’ll generate a digital certificate on the spot, issued by Masterink and with a unique ID. If you’re in the European Union you have the option to request a physical copy for an extra.

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.

Before you choose
Find your starting point.
A good fit if…
- You get requests for pet tattoos and you want to add them to your portfolio resolved in colour.
- You’ve been tattooing for 1-3 years and you know the work has to stop the scroll on your Instagram.
- You work Black & Grey and you want to make the jump to colour without fear of breaking the skin.
- You work realism or micro but your colour gets contaminated or fades as it heals.
- You care about the long term: that the piece heals identical to the photo, not just that it looks good on day one, and you’re willing to practise on synthetic skin.
Before you get started
- You’ve never touched a machine. Start with the beginner seminar first.
- You don’t have much interest in colour realism.
- You’re after a trick for a single case. This is a system for resolving any pet.
- 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.

Common questions
What people ask before joining
For any level, as long as you have the minimum technique of line, shading and gradients (what you see in the beginner seminar). With that grounding, this session shows you how to do a colour pet portrait at micro scale, with a method.
