Scar Camouflage Master Class
Create Life-Changing Results
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.
It is highly recommended that you have at least 6 months of machine experience, as there are no machine fundamentals taught in this course.
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!
Giving someone the gift of confidence is incredibly rewarding and why I decided to share this powerful skill with others.
