How long does it take to learn camouflage tattooing?
A course gives you the foundations in days. Confidence comes from what you do in the months after.
Stage 1: the course
The SKINEAV Scar Camouflage Course runs over 3 days in a small group of at most 5 students, with theory, colour work and hands-on practice. See the course page.
“In the beginning, your portfolio is everything. People need to see your work before they trust you with their skin.”
Evelyn Alvares Vega, SKINEAV Academy
Stage 2: practice
After the course, practice on skins and, when ready, on carefully selected models. Colour matching in particular improves with repetition. See how to practise colour matching.
Real results and real moments
Stage 3: first clients
Start with straightforward cases: small, flat, pale, mature scars. Leave complex cases until you have healed results to learn from.
