As if you were right here in the room with me, join in real time as we go through every step of my process and continue this brand new NOSTALGIA themed leg sleeve.

For this course we're going to be tattooing illustrative characters from the show "SpongeBob Square Pants" and a metallic card "YuGiOh!"

I want this to be as immersive and informative as possible for you so everything below is in video format:

• Procreate: We'll review the full leg sleeve design that we created, edit the reference photos, and create the outline for the stencil.

• Stencil Application: With this large multi sheet stencil, we'll go over the parts of the leg to determine the best placement and size for composition, print and scale up our outline, and apply the stencil.

• Tattooing: There's about 11 hours of tattooing, and you get to see it all from beginning to end. You'll be able to get up close videos of the canvas side by side with my tattoo tray so you can follow along between which inks we're using and the different techniques. 

• And More: I'll go over my ink drop system, the machines and needles that I'm using and you can watch how to create smooth fields grey and different textures while keeping in mind the bigger picture of creating an entire leg sleeve composition.

I've always wished I could be a fly on the wall next to some of my favorite tattoo artists to get a look at their entire process from design, stenciling, tattooing, and even the mindset and conversations they have with their clients; I want to do that for you here in this NOSTALGIA series.

This is Course 3, part of the multi-course NOSTALGIA Leg Sleeve series.
