PMU APPRENTICESHIP IN Chattanooga TN
Wild Violet is dedicated to helping artists grow into skilled, confident PMU professionals. Designed for newly certified artists who need to obtain their Tennessee Tattoo Artist License, our apprenticeship offers hands-on experience, meaningful client interactions, and direct mentorship from Maris.
PROGRAM DURATION AND REQUIREMENTS
You will be responsible for taking basic training program(s) before beginning the apprenticeship. Maris can advise you what to take depending on what your focus is. We do not offer any basic training and you must be able to show your work (either on portico skin or real models) before being considered to apprentice.
Our one-year apprenticeship provides a comprehensive, hands-on education. You learn best by doing. As an apprentice you’ll work on real models and clients with our guidance, practicing every step of PMU—consultation, brow mapping, application, and aftercare. This hands-on training builds your skills and confidence in a supportive setting.
Safety is crucial in PMU. You’ll learn strict sanitation and safety steps: skin prep, sterilizing tools, and protecting clients. We’ll teach all safe PMU practices so you can work confidently in any professional setting.
We offer a path that fulfills all necessary requirements for state licensure, including practice hours and observation by a licensed professional.
WHAT DOES THE PMU APPRENTICESHIP COST?
When your apprenticeship license gets the thumbs up from Tennessee’s Health Department, you will work on commission for the duration of the apprenticeship.
