"What I enjoyed most was the routine and having a knowledgeable artist to chat with and keep my mind sharp. I said to myself, if I took one thing from this I would be happy, and I gained so much more. Thank you for everything Stef."

"The thorough discussion we had and extensive research we did during our time together enriched my clients’ experience, my career and my life. Stef’s work ethic, passion and dedication to the form of tattooing is worth orbiting even for one day — that’s how inspiring it is to be around."

"The greatest takeaway was not only the amount of knowledge I gained in just a short period but also it was mentally, emotionally and spiritually so refreshing for me. Now, I have a greater sense of confidence knowing what I know now, a better path forward, and genuine enthusiasm about my future in the world of tattooing."

"Stef provides the wisdom of twenty years of experience and a bird’s eye critique of your work, as well as providing tools to empower you to come up with your own systems for learning after the mentorship ends. Going back to the roots has set me up with a foundation I feel I can build solidly upon."

"I love how this didn’t just focus on tattooing, but health, mindset, painting, structure, routine and discipline which are all transferable skills. It’s been a superb experience and would highly recommend!"

"I consider Stef to be somewhat of a sage of modern tattooing; an invaluable asset to the tattoo community and its trajectory moving forward as well as its preservation of the past. The best part about this course in my opinion, is that it sets you up with some sharp tools and framework to get you that much further down the path."
