3D Areola Tattooing
Make a Life-Changing Impact
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. 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.”

IS ANY EXPERIENCE OR LICENSING REQUIRED TO ATTEND?
This course is for anyone looking to start their career as a paramedical tattoo artist.
Fundamentals of 3D Areola Tattoo is taught as a beginner training class. Students will learn the fundamentals needed to perform medical tattooing; however, they should not expect to become a master artist after just 6 days of training. We consider areola tattooing a fine art and true mastery will require time, dedication and practice.
There is no prerequisite licensing or training required to attend this course. You do NOT have to be a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician.
