"I value education in all facets of life and especially in my profession. I believe it should be one of the top priorities for any PMU artist. I don’t think anyone can take one or two classes and call themselves a master at their craft."

— Trigger Warning

Affirmations are a waste of time. To become a confident person, you must face the fact that you’ll probably suck at first but you’ve got to start somewhere...  Comparison is the thief of joy. You’re NEVER TOO OLD & you’re NEVER TOO YOUNG to learn something new. Consistency is key and the only way to fail is to give up. If you want it badly enough, you’ll work so hard on your goals there won’t be time for you to compare yourself to anyone because you’ll be too busy focusing on what matters... YOU!
