daunting task but it is a certain way to
ensure that the client can walk out the
doors feeling happy with the results.
On the student side of things, it is often
hard to impart the necessary knowl-
edge upon the students within the rel-
atively short training timeframe but
Lisa is there to support them both dur-
ing and after
their training
has been com-
pleted.
The
growing
industry
of
cosmetic
tattooing
Growing her
own business
was original-
ly very difficult
but she nev-
er gave up. Even when she worked 13
or more hours every day, her passion
for the industry and her strong feel-
ings about cosmetic tattooing helped
her go on. Lisa is a true believer of this
thriving industry, particularly because
she has seen how it has evolved dur-
ing her time. When she first started
out, about 10 percent of the popula-
tion even knew what cosmetic tattoo-
ing was. Now, that figure is probably
closer to 80 percent and she frequent-
ly encounters people who are enthusi-
astic about her work. Today, both men
and women do cosmetic tattooing and
reap its benefits.
“Cosmetic tattooing is a thriving busi-
ness. It took over America 10 years
ago and is actually taking over Austral-
ia now. It’s one of the highest paying
jobs you will get in the beauty indus-
try. It does take a lot of artistic work
and even though you don’t need to be
a beauty therapist, it’s advantageous.
There are a lot
of new tech-
niques
that
have
come
out in the last
few years too.
The
results
are much bet-
ter too which is
why a lot more
people are in-
terested in it”,
Lisa
advises
to people who
wish to enter
the industry.
Lisa has evolved her business quite
a lot in recent years. Moving into train-
ing has been a very rewarding experi-
ence and she wants to concentrate on
being a mentor to the many individuals
who seek out her expertise. Helping
them go out into the market and feel
more confident in their work is one of
the main reasons why she loves train-
ing and any expansion plans in the fu-
ture will certainly focus on that.
