More than the basics
You learn the fundamentals of cosmetic tattooing and the skills to run your business to a high standard. Most short courses skip the part that matters most: your healed results.
Here you work on supervised models and then complete their touch-ups four to six weeks later, with Kate guiding you. That’s why training runs over weeks, not days.
- Skin anatomy, hygiene and safety
- Tools, pigments and ingredient knowledge
- Consultation and communication
- Guided practice on latex, with feedback
- Supervised work on live models
- Model touch-ups and healed-result review
- Difficult skin, colour correction and fading
About Kate
Kate has worked in the beauty industry for 14 years and has run a successful cosmetic tattoo business for six. She has looked after hundreds of clients and has more than 100 five-star reviews on Google.
“It takes time to learn this craft. You need more than the basics to thrive in this industry. I hear from students who took a two to five day course and felt terrified and lost once it was over, with a trainer they couldn’t reach. My priority is to fix that.”
Kate’s one-on-one students are now working artists, and she counts them as colleagues and friends.
What students say
“I did tons of research into courses but most were only a few days and not one-on-one, which made me extremely nervous. Kate offered something no one else did: long-term follow-up training to complete my models’ touch-ups and refresh my knowledge. There is no better way to learn, and I now confidently offer these treatments in my salon.”
Anna C
“Kate really helped me get my confidence back after a bad experience training elsewhere. She was more than happy to expand on my training and work with me on some models to get me feeling ready. I can’t thank her enough for her dedication and encouragement.”
Alana C
“I had no previous background in beauty, so it was daunting to say the least. Kate offered in-depth training with ongoing mentorship, even helping me with advice on finding and licensing a space. Even if you have zero beauty experience, Kate will make sure you are ready to succeed.”

Training questions
How long will the training take?
Longer than most courses, on purpose. The theory and practical skills can’t be crammed into a couple of days, especially as one of 15 students in a seminar room. Your training is tailored to you, but you can expect:
- 2 to 3 days of theory
- 2 to 3 days of practice on latex
- 1 day of live model demonstrations by Kate
- 2 or more days of hands-on practice with live models
- 2 or more days of live model touch-ups, four to six weeks later
- 1 day of recap
- Extra practical or theory as needed
How much does training cost?
Between $5,000 and $12,500 for training and mentorship over four to eight weeks, depending on what you need. That includes:
- In-person training
- Digital and physical learning resources
- Lifetime ongoing support: ask questions any time as you progress
What career pathways are there in cosmetic tattooing?
Eyebrow tattooing is the most popular with clients, but there is also eyeliner, lips, scalp and medical tattooing, so you can follow your own interests.
There are currently very few employers offering permanent or part-time roles. The industry is mostly sole traders, which is worth keeping in mind if you’re looking for employment.
What are the education requirements?
In Australia there are currently no regulated training requirements to become a cosmetic tattooist. You need to be competent to perform the treatment, hold a hygiene certification and work from a licensed premises. Accredited courses now exist but aren’t required. Keep an eye on the regulations, as this may change.
Kate believes artists have an ethical responsibility to be properly trained. Because courses vary so much in what they include, choose a trainer carefully.
Is eyebrow tattooing right for me?
It suits you if you:
- are artistically inclined, or good at drawing or makeup
- have an eye for detail and patience for detailed work
- have a background in beauty or art (helpful, not essential)
- communicate well with a wide range of people
- are prepared to run your own business
