Such a great course! Highly recommend!

I have over 25 years of experience as a traditional body tattooer, and 2 years experience with areola reconstruction and PMU. I’ve taken an in-person PMU class, as well as several online courses for various PMU procedures and continuing education for body tattoos. I can easily say that this is, hands-down, the best course I’ve taken out of any of them! There was no time wasted going over things I already know as a seasoned tattoo artist, but a LOT of information on SMP and how to add it to my list of services. I only wish they offered classes for other procedures, lol! Well worth the money!!

Excellent

I am almost finished this course and it has exceeded my expectations by a mile. I had already completed an excellent one on one course in the UK but this online course by Billy has given me the opportunity to see many different types of SMP work done, like, FUE/FUT scar cover ups, male and female clients, different skin types and how to approach each type of skin. Billy doesn't shy away from giving away trade secrets and there are many. Honestly, i was a little apprehensive about purchasing this course as it would have been a lot of money if it wasn't good, but i needn't have worried, this course has been invaluable to me and will be a great resource to check back on going forward. I honestly think its great value for money for such a comprehensive high quality course. Billy has a calm way of teaching and very engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed and gained so much from each video. Highly recommended.

SUPER GOOD and tons of value for the price!

I am floored by all of the information within the course. I overpaid on a different course that didn't teach nearly as much as this Course does! Billy did a phenomenal job with this course and this is a great course for those who are new to SMP! GREAT WORK!!! SUPER HAPPY !

Online Advanced Hair Ink SMP Gold Coast course

I recently did an online advanced SMP class and wanted to thank Billy for keeping it real! If I could travel, I would be there to do the in person training and wish I could wind back the clock to have started my career here. I'm proud to say that I have learnt from a well known artist, Billy DeCola.
