Base
Master tattooing from scratch, at your own pace. A format for those who want to get into tattooing independently — but not blindly: you move at your own rhythm, while Kateryna reviews your work and corrects you, so you're never learning from your mistakes alone.

Frequently asked questions
For theory and prep — no, you can start without any equipment. For practice you'll need a basic tattoo machine. But don't stress about picking one: I'll tell you exactly what to get, so you don't overpay or end up with something bad. You don't have to dig through hundreds of models yourself — just ask me.
That's completely normal. Most techniques in Base come down to patience and repetition. We start simple and add difficulty gradually. You're learning a technique, and technique is built through practice. If you're willing to try, you'll get there.
Right after payment. Nothing to wait for — you get into the platform and start the same day.
No big deal. Access to the materials stays open for 3 months — you keep learning at your own pace. The one thing to know: I give in-depth feedback on your work during the first 2 months, so you'll get the best results by keeping pace with the course. But if life gets in the way, the lessons aren't going anywhere — come back whenever you can.
