LEARN BY DOING

HANDS-ON EDUCATION MATTERS.

AAC combines instructor demonstration, guided practice and applicable hands-on experience to help students move beyond simply watching a technique and begin developing practical skill.

Hands-on opportunities vary by technique, model availability, candidacy and the circumstances of each training session. Specific procedures or model experiences cannot be guaranteed.

INSTRUCTOR DEMONSTRATION : Observe techniques, setup and procedure considerations.

GUIDED PRACTICE : Practice applicable skills with instructor guidance and feedback.

MODEL EXPERIENCE : Participate in appropriate hands-on model opportunities when available and applicable.

FEEDBACK & REFINEMENT : Identify areas that need additional practice and continue refining technique.

IS THE MASTER PROGRAM RIGHT FOR YOU?

FOR STUDENTS WHO WANT A
BROADER EDUCATION.

The Master Micropigmentation Specialist program is designed for students who want exposure to multiple areas of permanent makeup, cosmetic tattoo and paramedical tattoo rather than beginning with a single focused technique.

This program may be a fit for:

NEW ARTISTS SEEKING COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING

Students who want to begin with a broader foundation across several techniques.

BEAUTY PROFESSIONALS EXPANDING THEIR SKILLS

Existing beauty professionals interested in adding cosmetic tattoo education to their skill set.

PMU ARTISTS WANTING TO EXPAND

Previously trained artists interested in adding additional cosmetic or paramedical tattoo techniques.

STUDENTS INTERESTED IN BOTH COSMETIC & RESTORATIVE TECHNIQUES

Those who don't want to choose between traditional PMU and restorative cosmetic tattoo education.

CERTIFICATION IS A MILESTONE - NOT THE END OF LEARNING

WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER CLASS?

Some graduates leave training ready to begin taking their next steps. Others want additional repetitions, model experience or instructor feedback before working more independently.

Qualifying AAC graduates may inquire about optional Guided Practice Clinics for additional supervised hands-on practice after certification. Guided Practice is separate from certificate tuition, additional fees apply and availability varies.
