Tim O'Connor Seminar

This year, we’re honored to welcome Tim O’Connor—known online as @toc_tattoo—as part of our featured seminar series. Tattooing out of 10 Thousand Foxes Tattoo, Tim has built a strong reputation for his bold, confident approach to large-scale Japanese work and his mastery of freehand composition. Backed by multiple respected industry sponsors, Tim continues to push traditional Japanese tattooing forward while honoring its roots.

Tim’s seminar will focus on his freehand process, working live on a client with a large-scale Japanese bodysuit—John Luis. He’ll break down everything from how he approaches flow and body movement, to the specific pens and tools he prefers for drawing directly on the skin, and how he maps out cohesive large-scale compositions without relying on stencils. This is a rare opportunity to watch a high-level artist design in real time and explain every decision as it happens.

There may also be exclusive goodie grab bags included for attendees.

?Whether you’re looking to strengthen your confidence in freehand work, improve large-scale layout, or refine your Japanese-inspired compositions, Tim’s seminar will deliver practical insight you can immediately apply to your own tattooing.

The seminar will be held at the Western Sports Complex Arena 2 on Thursday, June 25th, 2026 at 2pm-5pm.
