Victor Portugal is one of the world's most recognised names in surrealistic black & grey. Born in Uruguay, he settled in Poland after years in Spain and now works between his Kraków studio and Texas, USA. He is known for large-scale compositions that follow the lines of the body and for textures with a real sense of depth — over 400,000 people follow his work.

Across four days he hands professional artists the technique he has built over three decades — from design and needle selection to composition and how a tattoo holds up over the years. This seminar is his first workshop in Türkiye.

Inside every First Blood™ cartridge, the needle bar runs on the Stabilized Roller System™ — the red roller you can see in the tip. A first-of-its-kind mechanism that eliminates wobble and vibration while keeping ink flow steady through every stroke.

Surgical stainless steel needles in a medical-grade housing. Every box is EO gas sterilized and individually lot-tracked for full traceability.
