How to Learn Cosmetic Tattooing

Cosmetic tattooing, or micropigmentation, is the application of permanent make-up. There is an increasing demand for cosmetic tattooing from people who can't wear cosmetics due to allergies and people who don't want to take the time every day to apply make-up. There are all types of training options that can help you decide if and how you would like to learn cosmetic tattooing.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Explore which types of cosmetic tattooing you want to learn. The basics consist of eyebrow, lip and eyeliner tattooing. More advanced permanent tattooing can include procedures to freshen one's appearance, corrective tattooing to camouflage or enhance imperfections, and restorative work to help heal scars.

2. Compare training options in your area to find one you can afford and offers practice opportunities. There is a wide range from a 2-day course that covers the basics to longer programs provided by cosmetic schools, or even hiring your own private instructor. Previous experience isn't required; however, experience in the cosmetic, tattoo or medical industry is helpful.

3. Research the credentials of instructors and choose someone who is qualified and licensed.

4. Become an apprentice to someone who is experienced in cosmetic tattooing. Or at least establish contacts in the field that can help develop your skills and be a helpful resource.

Tips & Warnings

• Research the individual laws in your county, city and state in order to comply with the requirements before you begin using your newly learned skills.
• It can take years to develop the necessary cosmetic tattooing skills.
