Is this for you?

This course is for two people

You work in beauty — brows, lashes, nails, hair — and your clients keep asking, "Do you do brow tattoo? Do you do lips?" You send them somewhere else. In 3 weeks you can do it yourself.

Or you are a complete beginner and you want a new career in cosmetic tattoo. Most of Tina's students started exactly like that.

  • Business Person of the Year 2024, West Melbourne Local Business Awards.

The problem

Practice skin can't teach a real face

Some cosmetic tattoo courses in Melbourne take 3 days. You practise on practice skin, you get a certificate, and you go home.

Then your first real client sits down. Real skin bleeds. It moves. It's oily, or thin, or it has an old tattoo under it. Practice skin does none of that.

Every year, students come to Tina after a short course somewhere else, still not able to do a real face.

A model day: every student working on a real person

How we do it

Three weeks. A real model every day from week 2.

  • Eight real models in total, and we arrange them for you.
  • Maximum 10 students. Tina watches every one of you.
  • Tina and a trainer beside you on every model.

First, why this works.

Why it works

Real skin, real correction, every day

  • Eight real faces means eight different skins. You learn what practice skin can't show you.
  • Tina corrects you as you work. Her students say she is not easy in her marking: she points out every detail you missed.
  • Correction of old tattoos is part of the course, so you can fix other people's work too.

Step 1 · Week 1

Brows on practice skin

Theory, brow mapping, colour, the machine. Nano Hairstrokes, Ombré and Combination on practice skin. We fix your mistakes here.

Result: you are ready for a real face. You don't touch a real person until Tina has seen your hand.

Step 2 · Week 2

A real model every day

Five days, five real people. Nano Hairstrokes, Ombré and Powder Brows, Combination Brows: you do all three on real skin, with Tina next to you.

Result: five sets of brows you did yourself.

"She literally check on every student. And even when I struggle, she encouraged me."Alsie, Complete Brows, 2022

Step 3 · Week 3

Lips and eyeliner

Monday and Tuesday on practice skin: lip mapping, colour, the eyeliner line. Wednesday to Friday on real models, one each day.

Result: lip blush and eyeliner done on real people. Fifteen days, eight models, five techniques.

Your questions

The four everyone asks

Complete beginner? Yes. Most of Tina's students had never touched a machine.

Do I find my own models? No. We arrange all eight.

Why $8,760 when some courses are cheaper? Fifteen days, eight real models, the full kit and three months after. A 3-day course is cheaper because it gives you 3 days.

Is it accredited? The Full Course is not nationally recognised. You get a Certificate of Completion. The Infection Control unit is nationally recognised, and you need it to join.

Your questions

Three more

I work. I can't take 3 weeks off. Tell us before you book. If you can't do the full days, we'll try to arrange your classes to fit your timetable.

My English isn't perfect. Tina learned all of this in her second language. She teaches step by step and shows you with her hands.

What if I can't afford it right now? Use the payment plan only if $340 a month is comfortable. If it isn't, wait for the next class.

  • The deposit holds your place and is not refundable. It says so on the enrolment form.
  • Some students take longer. In one class, one student finished the brows in a week; another needed the full three.
  • We won't tell you what you'll earn. Anyone who gives you a number is guessing. What you leave with: five techniques, a certificate, a full kit, eight real faces done, and Tina in your WhatsApp group.

What students say

In their own words

Filmed at the academy in 2022. Press play; the video loads from YouTube only when you do.

Chloe · Complete Brows · came from youth and social work. "This one was always the standout one."
Ian · hairdresser for 22 years, added cosmetic tattoo. "Tina's work and qualifications."

Your questions

Answered before you ask

Is this OK for a complete beginner?

Yes. Most of Tina's students had never touched a machine. Week 1 is on practice skin. You are not on a real person until Tina has seen your hand.

Why is it $8,760? Some courses are much cheaper.

Because it's 15 days, not 3. Eight real models that we find for you. The full kit. And 3 months after. A 3-day course is cheaper because it gives you 3 days. We'd rather you pay once and learn it properly.

What if I can't afford it right now?

Then use the payment plan, about $340 a month, but only if that payment is comfortable for you. If it isn't, wait for the next class. Nobody should be stressed about money while they learn.

Is the kit really included?

Yes. The machine, the pigments, the needles, the tools, the practice skins. You walk out able to work.

Do I have to find my own models?

No. We arrange the models for you: eight in total, one for every model day.

Is the course accredited?

Honest answer: the Full Course is not nationally recognised. You get a Certificate of Completion for five techniques. The part that is nationally recognised is the Infection Control unit, and you need it to join the course: $550 with us, or bring your own. Most of our graduates get their insurance with BMS.

I work. I can't take 3 weeks off Monday to Friday.

Tell us before you book. If you can't do the full days, we'll try to arrange your classes to fit your timetable so you still finish.

My English isn't perfect.

Tina came to Australia in 2009 and learned all of this in her second language. She teaches step by step and shows you with her hands.

What support do I get after?

A WhatsApp group with Tina, for life. Three months to come back and practise on models here. And you can message her.

Can I learn brows only?

Yes. The Complete Brows course is the first 2 weeks of the Full Course: 10 days, all three brow techniques, $6,250 with the current discount. Most beginners choose the Full Course so they can offer lips and eyeliner too.

Where are you?

16B/77-79 Ashley Street, Braybrook, in Melbourne's west.
