TESTIMONIALS

What our learners say about us

“I subscribed in early November (I already have the 1st and second edition) but wanted to check out the new stuff. 100% worth the price, less than a dollar a day for a year subscription and you get to do weekly drawing practice with Guy, live and that's not even mentioning all the other awesome stuff that isn't in any of the books lol I highly recommend it.”

“I subscribe to it. It’s pretty great. My girlfriend and I (both tattooers) watch a lot of the videos when we’re both off and don’t have anything to do for the day. I read the old version of the book (three ring binder copy) during my apprenticeship and the subscription service is still really useful.”
