PRIVATE CLASSES
In person tattooing education with Andrés
These classes are only available in person and they take place in Austin, Texas, USA.
They are dedicated and tailored specifically for each student. Andrés is offering classes that range from the introduction to tattooing, to more advanced tattoo knowledge and application skills.
These private events can be done in one or two days. Andrés dedicates each day fully to each student with no divided attention.
Available in English and Spanish.
One on One Class
In all my years of experience teaching, these One on One classes are the best way to learn and improve your tattooing and artistic skills as you will get powerful information and hands on guidance directly from me in my studio.
You'll get to have access to the knowledge I've acquired over the years by: having a lecture made for each student based on your level and experience, then we'll review your work to develop a plan for you to be able to reach your goals. I'll show you my tattooing techniques that would improve the quality of your work right away. Under my guidance, you'll get to practice these new techniques on fake skin or you can bring a client or friend to tattoo on them. This includes my personal color blending techniques, as well as how to make sure your tattoos heal the best way possible.
Collaborating with me from beginning to end, we will design together as well as work on the fake skin or your client/friend. I will be available to answer any questions you have.
Since these classes are tailored for each student, other subjects are available upon request that can be added to the class, like advanced photography, Photoshop designing and how I navigate my business, booking appointments and more.

Crystal Dawn, AL
Recently I took a course with Andrés Acosta, on color realism.
I must admit, that the knowledge he shared with me has led me to create better over all designs, helped me comprehend color theory and showed me techniques that he uses, while he is designing and tattooing.
Since then, my tattoos and artwork have improved immensely.
He was professional, and he spoke with purpose.
10 out of 10 recommend learning from him, if you are wanting to further your career in tattooing.
When I get the chance, I will enroll in another class 🤗
