What our Students Say
“I’m so glad I trained with Gemma and Vikki for Areola and Nipple tattooing. The training and support were the best I’ve had from any PMU course. They think of everything to make the job easier. I left confident to start offering the service immediately and felt fully prepared. Since then, I’ve become part of the Tata Foundation sponsored artist team, which is a dream come true.”
