With the oversaturation of permanent makeup services and quick courses- it can feel like your business and artistry can go unnoticed. Camouflage is the new niche in permanent makeup and tattooing that really makes a big difference in your client’s lives. As artists, passion in our work and for our clients is so important- so is artistic growth and challenges to make for an exciting career in custom work to help more people in your services.

Camouflage tattoos are often the only option remaining for people who have tried everything to diminish the appearance of scarring, pigmentation loss and stretchmarks. The healing difference it makes to clients is life changing. We must uphold the highest standard of care in our services to ensure that we are the last step to their process and don’t cause further harm through making anything worse.

The tattoo and permanent makeup industry is one of ongoing learning. It is paramount to learn advanced skills in person to ensure you have direct oversight from your instructor- catching small mistakes that can affect your services in the future. 

Learning directly from your trainer is an opportunity to bypass learning on your own the hard way! Online theory and actually working on clients with compromised skin, vulnerabilities & highly complex custom cases are two very different concepts. Investing in your skills and education is part of investing in your business and your commitment to your clients. You are learning a trade that requires dedication- you and your client are worth it!

This is a 32 hour (4 day equivalent) course covering all aspects of this highly custom and niche skill set. Subjects inclue: Advanced techniques for compromised skin, detailed curriculum on scar types and stretchmarks, inks, colour theory and mixing, skin anatomy, best practices, protocols, shadowing, demos, case studies, setting up referral partnerships and practicing muscle memory on practice pads and mixing custom skintones, hands-on experience on models. We do not cover inkless methods and we do not teach dark scar techniques.

This course is for advanced artists only and does not teach the fundamentals of tattooing. You must have a minimum of 1 years tattoo experience to ensure you are familiar with how to tattoo before you can add the additional methodologies of working with compromised skin and advanced colour theory. Further requirements are outlined in the application form.
