,,

i AM TATTOOING SINCE PAST 12 YEARS, HOWEVER NEVER I FELT AS CONFIDENT AS NOW!

Rahul Gaikwad is in the tattoo industry for the last 12 years and has established his studio in Pune. He has been dedicating all his time to tattooing, trying to learn advanced tattooing. But due to lack of guidance he always thought there was space for him to improve. After all these years, he took a step to learn advanced techniques from a legit source and enrolled with Aliens Tattoo School. Those three months helped him polish his skills and his work has developed drastically. He is now planning to grow his studio in Pune and enter conventions. While Rahul was finishing his course, we had a small chat asking him about his experience at Aliens. 

Rahul has been sharing his feedback and the difference that he has seen in his work after finishing the Complete Tattoo Course. Here's a short interview that we took to know about his overall experience at Aliens Tattoo School.
