Me fue muy útil y es un curso bastante detallado para quienes vamos empezando, no solo te brinda información sobre cómo es el diseño, sino que da información también acerca de las maquinas (bobina y rotativa), los pigmentos y áreas del cuerpo a tatuar, etc. Me queda debiendo un poco más de detalle al desarrollo de tatuajes de diseños de autor pero ya hay otros cursos que se encargan de ello en profundidad. Me dejó clara varia información hueca que me dejaron otros cursos. Recomendado :)

de todos los cursos que hay en esta plataforma, es por ahora el mas completo que encontré, te explica a detalle los elementos y procesos del tatuaje, no solo te pone un video de 8 minutos con cosas generales (muchos videos de la plataforma), sino que te instruye desde 0, la verdad que vale la pena adquirirlo
