Areolas Advanced
Make a Life-Changing Impact
This course is specifically designed for experienced tattoo artists (i.e. permanent makeup, traditional body art, and paramedical tattoo) who want to offer this life-changing service.
In order to attend Areolas Advanced, you MUST provide proof of at least 1-year machine work experience.
There is a growing need for paramedical tattoo artists. If helping others feel more confident or if working in a healthcare setting appeals to you, paramedical tattooing is a fantastic choice.
“After adding paramedical tattooing to my cosmetic tattooing services, I watched as my business grew exponentially. Now, I’m a respected paramedical tattoo artist who receives referrals from the top plastic surgeons in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. I average approximately four 3D areola tattoo patients per week! My decision to become a paramedical tattoo artist has been life changing to say the least!
Helping hundreds of women feel better about their bodies after cancer is incredibly rewarding. That’s why I decided to share this powerful skill and train others to become paramedical tattoo artists in order to help as many women in North America and beyond.”
