Becoming a paramedical tattoo artist isn’t just about learning a skill it’s about creating a high-income, repeat client career with purpose.
Most paramedical tattoo procedures require a 4–6 week touch-up and refresh annually. What does that mean for you?
Built-in client retention. Your clients don’t disappear, they return year after year.
At an average of $600 per service for a 2–3 hour appointment, this career offers one of the strongest income-to-time ratios in the aesthetics industry.
Let’s talk real numbers.
Now imagine scaling as your confidence and demand grow:
This isn’t commission-based work.
This isn’t relying on walk-ins.
This is a licensed, specialized skill with high demand, medical credibility, and long term income stability.
Our apprenticeship teaches you how to master the technique, work safely in a medical grade environment, price correctly, and build a sustainable client base—so you’re not guessing your way into success.
You’re not just learning to tattoo.
You’re learning how to build a career that pays, lasts, and changes lives.
And the impact you make for your clients?
That’s priceless.
