Paramedical Tattoo Training Questions and Answers
How long is the course?
​
Three days, in person, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Classes are kept to one or two students so you are never waiting your turn or watching from across the room. It's usually on a Friday-Sunday
​
What does the training cost?
​
Tuition is $7,500 and includes your complete professional kit.
​
What is included in the kit?
You leave with everything you need to start working. That includes 26 paramedical pigments covering a full range of skin tones and undertones, a professional tattoo machine chosen for paramedical work, needle cartridges, grips, battery, ink caps, stencils, numbing cream, lots of different size needles, up to 50, three information books, nice carry bag, markers, mixers, mixing sticks, plastic wrapping for machine. Our kit enables you to walk write in somewhere and work.
Sourcing all of this on your own after a course usually costs well over a thousand dollars, so it is built into your tuition instead.
​
Why is the tuition $7,500?
​
It reflects what is actually in the three days. Your kit is included. Class size is one to two students. And you work on real clients with real cases, and many of them. That combination costs more to run, and it is the reason students leave able to work instead of needing months of figuring it out alone. Also, the experience of the trainer and information she'll be able to pass on to you.
​
Do we work on real clients?
​
Yes. Students work hands on with real client cases across many different case types under direct supervision. Between clients we cover method, color theory, and technique, so the classroom time and the client time build on each other.
​
What kinds of cases will I see?
​
It varies with who is scheduled, which is part of the value. Students see a range of case types rather than one technique repeated. You learn to assess what is in front of you and adjust, which is the skill that actually carries over into your own practice.
​
What if I have a hard time understanding or mixing colors?
​
That worry comes up often, and it is a fair one. Color is the part of this work that takes the longest to feel natural, and almost no one arrives already comfortable with it. You will be taught color directly, hands on, with real skin in front of you. We work through undertone, how pigment behaves in different skin, and how to adjust when something is not reading the way you expected. You will also leave with reference formulas to lean on while you build confidence.
​
Do I need experience before enrolling?
​
Many students come in with tattoo or permanent makeup experience, and many do not. What matters more is your willingness to work carefully and take feedback. If you are starting from zero, Bianca will structure the course according to your level, but make sure you get everything you need.
​
Who takes this training?
Beginners, Plastic surgeons, nurses, PAs, medical field providers, PMU artists, estheticians, and anyone in the medical or aesthetic field who wants to add this work. Students come from all over Florida and from out of state.
​
Do I need a license for training? Yes, Florida law requires a tattoo license to work on clients and its taken very seriously. We will guide you and show you how to get licensed. The process is easy.
​
​
​Do you cover the business side?
​
Yes. Pricing, consultations, how to talk with clients about what is realistic, documenting your work, and how to bring this service into a practice or studio you already have. Technique alone does not build a business, so the business conversation is part of the three days.
​
What kind of support do I get after the course?
​
Bianca gives you one year support. This is important part of the program and you'll need this to move forward. Questions come up on your first few clients that never come up in class, and having someone to send a photo to at that moment matters.
​
Will I be certified when I finish?
​
Yes, you receive 2 certifications on completion of the three days. One is for 3d areola tattoo and areola restoration and the other one is for Scar and stretch mark camouflage.
​
Can I bring my own model?
​
If there is someone specific you want to work on, mention it when you book and we will see if it fits the schedule.
​
Are payment plans available?
Yes. Reach out and we will go over the options with you. There is a financing link on the website with good financing options.
