Paramedical Tattoo Training for San Diego, California

Students travel from San Diego to train in person at the International Institute of Medical Tattoo Science and Artistry in St. Petersburg, Florida, then bring these skills home to San Diego and the surrounding California area. The three day program is hands-on with real client cases under direct supervision, not lecture-only theory.

What makes this training different is how much ground it covers. In one focused program students learn scar camouflage, stretch mark camouflage, 3D areola and nipple restoration, breast reconstruction tattooing, dermopigmentation for vitiligo and hypopigmentation, skin repigmentation, and advanced color theory and skin tone matching across a wide range of complexions. Between live cases, students study pigment behavior, healing, and technique. It is a complete paramedical tattooing education, not a single narrow skill.

The training welcomes plastic surgeons, nurses, nurse practitioners, PAs, medical field providers, PMU artists, estheticians, and anyone in the medical or aesthetic field who wants to add restorative tattooing to their practice. San Diego professionals bring restorative tattooing to a coastal, active southern California community.

Flying into Tampa or St. Petersburg is simple, and many out of state students combine their training trip with a few days on Florida's Gulf Coast. Visit the training pages to see how the three day program works and what you take home to San Diego.
