In my words

I teach technique and the business side

“In the beginning, your portfolio is everything. People need to see your work before they trust you with their skin.” So I teach you to build that portfolio safely, on practice skin and on live models while I supervise. Then we go through how to price, how to run a consultation and how to fill your calendar.

Evelyn on how to get your first camouflage clientsEvelyn, in the SKINEAV clinic, walks through four steps to your first paramedical tattoo clients: portfolio, client stories, referral partners and reviews. Captions are on screen.

Want to get your first paramedical tattoo client? Here’s exactly where I would start. Step 1. Offer a few free or discounted treatments in exchange for permission to take high-quality before and after photos to create content. In the beginning, your portfolio is everything. People need to see your work before they trust you with their skin. Step 2. Don’t just post before and afters. Tell the client’s story. What are they insecure about? Why did they come to you? How did they feel afterwards? Stories get shared and shares get turned into new clients. Step 3. Reach out to five local plastic surgeons or cosmetic clinics this week. Introduce yourself and let them know you accept post-surgical scar referrals. Step 4. After every happy client, ask for a Google review and a referral. Send them a direct link and make it as easy as possible for them.

Training in Vaughan, on Zoom and beyond

I train artists in person at our clinic in Vaughan and online over Zoom, and I was invited to teach camouflage at WULOP Canada 2026. In-person courses are coming to the US and Europe next.

You don’t have to feel ready. For most people, the confidence comes after they start.

Straight answers about training with Evelyn.

Call +1 (437) 475-2757
Do I need tattoo experience?

No. Small-Group Training and the Masterclass are designed so you can start without previous tattoo experience. 1:1 training is tailored to your level, from beginner to experienced artist.

How long are the courses?

Most courses run over 3 intensive days, about 5–7 hours each (usually 11 am to 4 pm). 1:1 schedules can be tailored to you. We confirm the exact schedule for your course on your call.

Are courses in person or online?

Mostly in person at the SKINEAV clinic in Vaughan, so you can practise hands-on. Courses can also be done online via Zoom, which suits artists outside the GTA and abroad.

How many students are in a group?

Small-group camouflage courses take up to 5 students, so Evelyn can work closely with each of you. The Masterclass is a larger format with many students.

What do I leave with?

Your SKINEAV certification and all the equipment you need to start your own business, so you are ready to take clients the same day you finish.

What happens after the course?

Six months of mentorship: questions, case reviews and guidance as you start taking clients. If you need more time, we always give it.

Will I work on real clients?

Yes. In-person training includes hands-on practice on real live models, under Evelyn’s supervision, alongside practice skin.

Do you teach SMP and PMU too?

Yes. SKINEAV also teaches scalp micropigmentation (SMP) and permanent makeup (PMU) courses. Camouflage tattoo is our main focus.

How much does a course cost?

We go through the full investment, dates and payment options with you on a free call, so you get an accurate answer for the course that fits you. Courses start from $1,999, depending on the format and length. The in-person scar camouflage course runs 3 days in small groups of up to 5. Ask about current offers. Get the free career guide or message us to start.

How much can I earn?

We won’t promise you an income, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What you earn depends on your skill, pricing, location, marketing and how consistently you book clients. Evelyn shows you exactly how she prices, consults and books, so you can make your own plan.
