Welcome to the first episode of The Ink Post, where we dive into the intricate realm of permanent makeup (PMU) and Body Art Tattoos.
Embarking on the journey of learning permanent makeup is an exciting venture. But with an array of flashy Instagram profiles and hard-to-resist promises, finding the right mentor can seem like navigating through a maze. In this episode, we equip you with crucial insights to help you cut through the noise and find the PMU mentor who's just right for you.
We discuss the red flags you should be aware of while seeking a mentor. Is the profile promoting a glamorous lifestyle more than the art and science of PMU? Is the mentor pushing you to buy their branded machines, without providing valid reasons or alternatives? Are they offering machines at suspiciously cheap prices, or perhaps at astronomical ones without clear value justification?
We delve into these concerns and more, providing valuable advice on how to evaluate potential mentors, how to ask the right questions, and what attributes and qualifications you should look for.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone considering stepping into the world of PMU, or even experienced artists who are looking to upskill and expand their network. Tune in, and make your first step in PMU a confident one.
