Staying Grounded

Do you ever feel tempted to step outside the lines of conservative work; just that once to see how far you can stretch the lines of what’s acceptable? Do you consider looking past training standards to try to please a client’s desire for unorthodox design or color work? Dawn Marrero will present positive proof for why the conservative technician is on solid professional ground and visual proof why risky work should be no more than a passing thought.

She will also cover the tattoo process from the actual pigmenting of the skin as well as adverse tattoo reactions, how to recognize them, and how they are treated.

UGGGGGH Lip Procedures!

Client Management

We all have them, MUST have them: clients, that is. But, there is always that one that you just wished never walked thru your doorway. How do we deal with clients? The great ones, good ones and ones…well…you know those too. This is probably something you already knew but maybe never thought about, or never discussed out in the open. We’ll take a closer look at client management and how to handle different situations, the good and the bad! And some tips on how to CYA!

2:45pm - 4:00pm The Permanent Cosmetic Color Wheel...
and what it means to the technician
The traditional color wheel can help you see color as a circular rainbow and what happens when you mix different colors together, etc. However, in cosmetic tattooing, because we see color under the skin, a color wheel is needed that shows complementary and neutralizing in this regard. This presentation will show the differences and educate you on how to choose, adjust, and know your desired outcome color. A Permanent Cosmetic Color Wheel will be provided for each attendee.
