Description

You're losing hours every session — and your clients feel it.

If you're still drawing stencils by hand, you're spending 2–4 hours on prep that should take 15 minutes. That's time you're not tattooing. Time your client is sitting and waiting. And in a competitive market, slow workflow is costing you bookings.

I used to do the same thing. Then I switched to iPad — and everything changed.

In this course, I'll show you step by step how I create perfectly accurate, print-ready stencils for color realism portraits and complex designs in a fraction of the time. No art school required. No expensive software. Just your iPad and a workflow that actually works in a real studio.

What you'll be able to do after this course: — Create accurate stencils for realism tattoos in 15–30 minutes instead of hours — Map photos into flat color values for clean, precise lines — Combine sketch and mapping layers into one perfect stencil — Place and size stencils correctly on any body part

This course is for you if: — You're a tattoo artist still drawing stencils by hand — You want to work faster without sacrificing quality — You do realism, portraits, or detailed color work

I'm Electric Linda — tattooing since 2000, 50+ international awards, and founder of Masterpiece Tattoo in Oslo. I've taught hundreds of artists. This is the workflow I actually use, every single session.

See you inside.
