REAL STENCILS FROM
INSIDE THE MASTERCLASS
These are the actual types of designs I break down and tattoo in the training — so you can see the process from stencil to finished piece.
I Don’t Just Teach Online.
Studios Fly Me Out.
Working artists pay $2,000+ to spend a single day in the room. The masterclass distills the same system — structured, on-demand, from anywhere.
Same system, same techniques, same standards — without the flight, the hotel, or the $2,000 ticket.
Outcomes,
Not A Syllabus.
Most courses hand you a list of modules. Here’s what you’ll actually be able to do when you finish.
Build smooth, photo-real shading without patchiness
The exact saturation and pass-count system Mitchell uses on every realism piece.
Run a full session start-to-finish like a pro
Stencil prep, machine setup, line work, shading, blowouts to avoid — filmed in 4K.
Charge $1,500-$2,300/day for your work
How to position a realism portfolio that justifies premium pricing.
Diagnose and fix the mistakes killing your healed results
Most artists never get this feedback. It's why progress stalls for years.
Lock in technique on every skin type
Real client sessions on different tones — not just one demo arm in studio lighting.
Develop your own voice within the West Coast style
Foundations are universal. The course teaches the system, not a copy-paste look.

YEARS TATTOOING
MITCHELL
CELAYA
Tattooing since age 13 — that's 18 years of mastering the craft. Specializing exclusively in black & grey realism — the West Coast Chicano style that speaks for itself.
Based in Cerritos, CA. I built my name on clean, efficient technique and work that stands the test of time — no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just honest craft.
This masterclass is everything I know — distilled into practical, watchable lessons you can apply to your next session.

Why artists choose this masterclass first
You are not buying another generic tutorial pack. You are getting the same black and grey realism workflow Mitchell uses on clients in the chair — stencil through final wipe — with commentary that explains why each pass exists, not just what to mimic.
The library runs 20+ hours of 4K footage so you can see texture, needle depth, and how decisions change when skin and reference behave differently. Lifetime access means every monthly drop and future seminar material lands in your account without another invoice.
Get lifetime access to the online masterclass for $497, or $994 for the masterclass plus 1-on-1 in-person access with Mitchell. Klarna at checkout when approved.
See It Before You Buy It
Don't take my word for it — the free sample lesson is the same 4K, same commentary, same client work as the full library. If that footage doesn't convince you, don't enroll.
