JIMMY DALESSIO & NICO PEREZ

Get ready for one of the most powerful learning experiences of the weekend at the Pocono Tattoo Expo.

Two of the United States’ most respected black & grey tattoo artists, Nico Perez and Jimmy Dalessio, come together for an exclusive, high-impact seminar focused on what truly separates good tattoos from unforgettable ones—flow, layout, and design execution.

This is not a sit-back-and-watch kind of seminar. Nico and Jimmy will break down their personal approach to freehand tattoo layout, showing how they read the body, build movement, and create designs that naturally flow with the client’s anatomy. You’ll watch them construct a piece from the ground up, explaining every decision along the way—from initial concept to final composition.

Then it’s your turn.

This seminar features a hands-on design session, where attendees will actively build their own tattoo layouts in real time. Bring your iPad (required for digital work), or go traditional with pencil and paper—either way, you’ll be guided step-by-step as they help you refine your eye, strengthen your composition, and elevate your design game on the spot.

To wrap it all up, Nico and Jimmy will host an open Q&A session, followed by live portfolio reviews, offering direct feedback and insight you can immediately apply to your work.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or still sharpening your craft, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from two masters of black & grey tattooing—and walk away with real skills, real knowledge, and real progression.
