The route

  1. 1
    1–3 months

    Meet your state's requirements

    PMU is regulated as tattooing in many states — often a body art licence plus bloodborne pathogens training.

    ◆ State body art / tattoo licence

  2. 2
    1–2 months

    Complete a fundamentals training

    Reputable microblading or machine training with live models, not a weekend certificate.

  3. 3
    3–6 months

    Complete supervised work

    Practise on latex, then models, then paid clients under supervision. Mistakes here are on faces.

  4. 4
    1–2 years

    Build a portfolio and price properly

    Healed results, not fresh photos. Well-known artists charge several hundred per procedure.
