Private School.
For Cosmetic Tattooing.
Welcome TO PMU PROFESSOR ACADEMY™
The PMU Professor Academy™ is NOT built around 2 days of watching a trainer perform procedures online. Sadly, this type of schooling exists and I have made it my career to provide a far-superior education experience that includes ultra-modern techniques, 1 on 1 live hands-on-training, advanced color theory, and on-going mentorship!
The PMU Professor curriculum was designed specifically to place a new student (or existing tattoo artist) on delicate facial areas for the first time, through a proprietary learning system. It includes a series of 4 levels, gaining understanding & competence before moving on.
After 3 days of classroom practice, I will guide you through 3 days of live procedures (2 brows, 2 lips, 2 eyeliner.)
This academy fulfills & exceeds the education requirement to earn your Board Certifications through both the SPCP and/or the AAM! 🎓

The Difference
PMU Professor Academy™ wasn’t built around how PMU has always been taught. It was built around how artists actually learn.
PROPRIETARY LEARNING SYSTEM™
A structured approach to planning, color selection, technique, troubleshooting and decision-making—so you learn not only what to do, but why you’re doing it.
1:1 STUDENT/TRAINER RATIO
At PMU Professor Academy™, hands-on training is one trainer, one student, one model—at a time.
BUILT-IN SAFEGUARDS
The program teaches exclusive defensive techniques that help prevent many of the biggest mistakes new PMU artists make.
