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.

Day 2:

  • Begin working with machine on latex. Straight and curved line work and shading practice.

  • Mastering hairstrokes on 2 types of latex, one for depth one for precision.

  • Learn how to understand proper depth by sight and touch.

  • Hairstroke connections and rules. Execution of patterns on latex. Shading and Hybrid Brows.

Model and shadow days:

As a masterclass student you will have the opportunity to perform an assisted model.

Once practice work is at the level it needs to be, you will come in to work on a model. You will be assisted as needed and can ask questions as they arise.

The student is responsible for procuring their own model for model day (shadow day is taken care of by Alillian Tattoo) To work on a model you must obtain a Washington state tattoo license. Student returns at later dates to shadow/work on model 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.
