It is crucial for your Permanent Cosmetics/ Micropigmentation professional to be licensed, certified and practice legally.

This is why there are Board Certified and Licensed Micropigmentation/ Permanent Cosmetics instructors like me out there! It is our responsibility to help and educate the people in this industry".     -Jhon-Jhon
