Pre training prep:

Before training begins, materials and homework may be sent to the student to prepare for the intensive in person portion of the training. This allows for much more time to be spent on the hands-on aspects of nano. Nano is an advanced technique and the more time spent practicing the better!

Please note: fundamentals is 3 days in person and the masterclass is 2 days. The Fundamentals class has an extra day devoted to the basics of cosmetic tattooing that those with experience will already have knowledge of. Both trainings involve returning at a later date to take an assisted model.

Day 1:

Theory of nano brows, cosmetic tattooing basics, all about machines, needles and the tools used for nano brows, histology, color theory, pigment science, and demonstrations to help you get to know your pigments.

Brow mapping and patterns! We begin on paper learning how to properly connect hairstrokes and dive into each of the patterns your will need to lean for nano brows. Learn about shadow, light and hyper realism in nano work.
Mapping problem solving. Learn how to approach mapping for a number of different common brow types. Including: 90s, sparse, dense, full, alopecia, highly asymmetrical, and more.
Learn how to properly hold your machine for nano brows.
Understanding the various hand movements involved in nano brows and the outcomes they produce.
Begin machine work if there is time.

Learn how to understand proper depth by sight and touch.
Hairstroke connections and rules. Execution of patterns on latex. Shading and Hybrid Brows.

Day 3:

Shadow day (fundamentals)!

Observe the initial client consult, brow mapping and shaping, and all of on the the fly problem solving that takes place during a typical client appointment.

Take notes and ask questions! The client will be aware that a student will be involved during the appointment. Don’t be afraid to ask all the questions!

Model days:

Both masterclass and fundamentals students will have the opportunity to perform an assisted model! The amount of help you receive is up to you!

Once sufficient time has been put in to practice your new craft and confidence has been established, you will come in to work on a model. You will be assisted as needed and can ask questions as they arise. The amount of time needed for practice varies and is completely based on individual time and effort. Some students are ready relatively quickly and can take their model a month or two, post training. Some students require additional time and that is ok! We are here to support you on your journey!

The student is responsible for procuring their own model for model day (shadow day models are taken care of by Alillian Tattoo). To work on a model you must obtain a Washington state tattoo license. Students returns at a later date to work on their model. This is to ensure they are confident in their skill and have had ample practice time. Shadow days are not required and can be forgone. Price of training is the same regardless of participation in shadow and model days. It is up the the student to practice after training and work to improve their skills in order to take a model.
