The "Tandem Tattoo" session opportunity

The "Tandem Tattoo" session opportunity. Only 10 people will be considered for the spots available from January to March of 2012. It is not as simple as just asking and paying the money. I will need to see your portfolio online, you must be licensed, and you must presently work in a professional tattoo studio. Your acceptance is pending my personal approval.

So what is a "Tandem Tattoo" session?

A "Tandem Tattoo" session works like this…You provide the client and the design. You do the tattoo under my guidance and supervision. At times during the tattoo I will actually get in there and work on the tattoo as well. showing you techniques hands-on, like no DVD, seminar or download can do. This is truly the most valuable time and information I can share with you. A one of a kind experience. You don't watch ME tattoo. I watch YOU tattoo and coach you as well as actually tattoo right along with you.

The cost is $800. You will spend the entire day at my studio. 1-9pm.
If you are interested call 516 442 1440 and email links to the requirements listed above to be considered to tattoosbykeith@mac.com

If you are approved you will be sent a PayPal invoice and a call to confirm the details of your session.

Thanks,
Keith Ciaramello

Art Out Loud 2011

Art Out Loud 2011 was a Sell Out!


A great day Saturday! What could be better than stepping into NY's historical Society of Illustrators to watch five of the most spectacular fantasy painters do their thing live? NOTHING! It was AWESOME!
Here are a few choice photos from the event (none of which do the paintings or events justice).
