ELEVATE COSMETICS IDAHO
PROVIDES SAFE AND QUALITY PERMANENT COSMETICS
Permanent cosmetics are neither semi-permanent nor temporary but are in fact PERMANENT. With Idaho’s unregulated tattoo industry and with the rapidly increasing number of artists, there has also been an increase in unsafe and unethical practices among those who are under trained or who are untrained. In Idaho anyone can buy a tattoo machine, watch a YouTube video then begin poking at peoples skin and unfortunately, most artists begin tattooing with only a 2-3 day crash course. That simply is not enough training.
Tattoo procedures are invasive which warrants the implementation of proper sanitary and universal precautions as set by OSHA. Without following these precautions there is a potential to cause serious injury and/or transmit harmful diseases during the procedure.
All of this is why at Elevate Cosmetics Idaho, continuing education is a standard. Here is an overview of the education completed as well as what’s ahead.
2018: Completion of 100 hour fundamental, hands-on and comprehensive training and certification at PMB Cosmetics and Training Academy in Boise.
2019: Eyeliner Training webinar with world renowned artist and educator, Will Anthony Cosmetics. Additional Brow mapping & design trainings.
2020: Powder Brow webinar with world renowned artist and educator, Elaine Campin.
2021: Certified in Saline Tattoo Removal through world renowned artist and educator, Teryn Darling.
2023: More advanced in-person training for permanent cosmetics.
Lastly, understand that the difference between one artist that sets very high prices for their work and another artist that charges very low prices may in fact be beautiful, quality and exceptional work versus scared, over saturated, and unflattering work that results in regret and costly removal services. Choose the artist that invests their time and money into their work.
