Join us at Hell City Tattoo Fest for an exclusive hands-on workshop with Russ Abbott of Tattoo Smart. Bring your iPad and dive into a comprehensive digital tattoo design workflow that will save you time and enhance your creative process, no matter your tattooing style. Learn proven techniques to optimize your workflow, address common challenges artists face, and discover methods to make Procreate work faster and more effectively for tattoo design. In this session, you will learn essential techniques for effectively unwrapping the skin, allowing you to seamlessly map your designs onto a 3D model. Get an inside look at Russ Abbott’s sleeve design process and strategies for optimizing artwork for client presentations and social media.
This is your chance to customize your own Procreate workflow with direct guidance from Russ Abbott, a pioneer in digital tattoo design tools since 2016. Plus, gain access to free resources, training videos, and exclusive tools to continue refining your digital process long after the seminar. To take your designs even further, we’re including a complimentary 3D Body Part model, allowing you to experience firsthand how 3D Model Humans can replicate the contours of real skin for unmatched precision and flexibility in tattoo design. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just getting started with digital design, this workshop will elevate your process and help you create faster, smarter, and more effective tattoos.

Stoney Knows How
"Stoney Knows How" is a visit with a master of the Oldest Art In The World - Tattooing. Disabled by arthritis since the age of four, confined to a wheelchair, his growth stunted, Stoney St. Clair joined the circus at 15 as a sword-swallower. A year later, he took up tattooing, and traveled with circuses and carnivals for 50 years. As we watch him at work, we see the determination which led Stoney to use his crippled hands in an art where mistakes are permanent, and we realize Stoney has overcome his handicap to heal himself and others with the magic of symbols. The film ends with a visit by New Age tattoo master Don Ed Hardy to Stoney, who gives him a souvenir tattoo.
