Paramedical camouflage course for West Virginia artists, live 1:1 on Zoom
One-on-one scar and stretch mark camouflage training on Zoom for artists in Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown, Parkersburg and across West Virginia. Live with Evelyn, same Eastern Time.
Camouflage training for West Virginia artists
West Virginia's beauty market is smaller than neighbouring states — which means less camouflage competition. Charleston, Huntington and Morgantown are the main hubs. Clients with surgical and injury scars often have nowhere local to go.
The SKINEAV 1:1 Zoom course teaches West Virginia artists scar and stretch mark assessment, custom colour matching, conservative technique on healed tissue, and honest consultations — live and private with Evelyn from Canada. It is not a video library.
Tuition: $2,997 USD for the live online 1:1 Zoom course taught from Canada, or $3,697 USD with the training kit shipped to the US. Payment plans are available, e.g. $500 deposit + 3 x $999. See the US course page for what is included.
How body art rules work in West Virginia
West Virginia body art requirements are commonly administered through local health departments. Start with your county health department and the WV Bureau for Public Health for contacts. Rules can differ between counties. Verify before taking clients — ask about artist registration, establishment permits, BBP and inspection. The SKINEAV Certificate of Completion does not replace local permits.

What West Virginia artists ask before enrolling
"Little written guidance online?" Call the local health department about tattooing/permanent cosmetics. Get answers in writing when you can.
"Ohio clients in WV?" Work in WV follows WV/local rules.
"Market aggressively because competition is low?" Market honestly. Low competition helps, but skill and licensing still come first.

How the course fits a West Virginia beauty business
Artists already compliant with local WV health rules can add camouflage as a specialist service after confirming scope.
The course covers the full basics of camouflage, learning on practice skin, theory, machine and ink, pigment chemistry basics, and the business side: finding your audience, building a pricing strategy you set yourself, and spacing sessions properly. You can add the training kit, you receive a SKINEAV Certificate of Completion, and you get six months of mentorship with Evelyn afterwards. It does not promise clients or income. It gives you a skill, a method and someone to ask when a real case comes in.
See the US course overview for the full curriculum and format.
Licensing note: the SKINEAV Certificate of Completion shows you finished Evelyn's training. It is not a state license, permit or registration. Before you tattoo anyone in the US, check and follow the rules of your state, county and city.
