HYPERREALISM:
The course that will change your career as a tattoo artist.
Master the art of High-Definition Portraits and the complex Chrome Effect in a single course. Learn the exact techniques to achieve extreme sharpness, smooth textures, and 3D depth using only Black & White inks. From the design process to perfect healed results.
Why are some artists charging double for the same session?
It is not about luck. It is about Perceived Value.
Clients are willing to pay premium prices, but only for art that looks unique and impossible to replicate. If your Realism looks "flat" or standard, you will always compete on price.
To scale your career and stand out in a saturated market, you need to master complex textures that grab attention immediately.
In HYPERREALISM, José Manoel reveals the secrets behind his high-contrast style. You will learn how to fuse organic skin textures with the metallic "Chrome Effect" to create 3D depth that demands attention, and allows you to charge what your art is truly worth.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 🔍
● The Perfect Setup: Master the exact needle configurations (RL, RS, Magnums) and precise ink dilutions (10%, 30%, 60%) for every specific effect.
● Hyper-Realistic Skin Details: Go beyond smooth skin. Learn to render aging textures, deep wrinkles, and pores that make people say "Wow, this is SO realistic!"
● The Secret to Flowing Hair: Hair is one of the most complex textures in Realism. We reveal the secret to creating individual, flowing strands that look natural and windblown.
● The Chrome Technique: How to build the "metal look" using deep blacks, high contrast, and strategic white ink saturation.
● Healed Results that Last: How to apply ink so it stays sharp and defined years later, surviving the test of time (not just for the photo).
● AI Design: How to use Artificial Intelligence to create unique references and compositions.

"I always struggled with making hair look natural… it usually looked stiff or like a ‘helmet.’ This course unlocked a new level in my portrait work. Now I can create movement and texture that actually look real. 10/10.”

"Mastering the Chrome Effect is definitely a career upgrade. It puts you on a different level because so few artists actually dominate this technique. It gave my portfolio a massive boost".
