How to Become a Good PM Master: 5 Steps to Success
About the most important component of the professional skills of a PM specialist
The key to a good master is the right training. At the initial stage, it is very important to choose a training center where experienced and professional masters specializing in permanent makeup will train.
The choice of a tattoo school for beginners must be approached selectively and with full responsibility. Basic training is the main foundation for further development. In no case should you be attracted by the low cost of training - usually it hides the insufficient qualifications of teachers, little work experience, as well as low-quality equipment and pigments. It is important that the curriculum is well-designed, and has both theory and practical exercises.
We talked to experts and identified 5 main aspects that will become the foundation for your further development.
- The basic tattoo training course to master all the material should last at least two weeks and contain a solid program. The first block must necessarily include all the necessary theory. First of all, a qualified master must give detailed information about disinfection and sterilization, as well as the rules of asepsis and antisepsis - these concepts determine the safety of the procedure.
- One of the important parts of the theory is the section of dermatology. Not in every training center you will be able to find this section, since only a dermatologist covers this aspect. For PM masters, studying the structure of human skin is very important for understanding how the pigment behaves in the skin.
- A tattoo training course should include the basics of makeup: facial geometry, shape selection, sketching techniques individually for each of your clients. The final basis of the theoretical section is the mastering of the technique of permanent make-up of eyebrows, lips and eyelids.
- The second significant block in the basic course of study is the practical part. This part of the course should include the technique of placing a hand on latex, as well as working with a client (model) under the supervision of a teacher. The number of models is an advantage for a tattoo school. In the basic training, you must complete at least 5 tasks on your own.
- It is desirable that the basic course includes the basics of consultation - how to work with the patient correctly. It's no secret that the master may encounter negativity from his client, there may be difficulties in coordinating the shape and color. Immediately you need to pay attention to what kind of makeup the client came with - this detail will help to “smooth out the corners” in the approval process.
From the first days of training, the school provides beginner masters with teaching aids with which they will work throughout the course, and also provides consumables. In order to better assimilate the material and learn individually, it is necessary to choose a training in which there will be a small number of people in the group. The optimal number of students in the basic course: 2-3 people.
