YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I’m Kristen!
I’m a self-taught fineline tattoo artist and owner of Golden Days Studio. Because I learned tattooing on my own, I understand the challenges and the longing for guidance when you’re first starting out. This course was born from that experience — a way to share what I’ve learned and help others step into their own artistry with confidence and intention. Watching students fall in love with tattooing and grow into this craft that transformed my own life has been one of my greatest joys. It would be an honor to guide you :)
