• 12 days (minimum – as an extra 3 days will be required for the touch up on the brow tattoos) for Cosmetic Tattoo units, for supervised procedure work (live models) at High Brow Academy – equates to 102 – 129 hours – these days do not have to be completed consecutively and there also needs to be a 4 week break between the first 6 brow models and their touch up appointments
• recommended but optional – work placement/experience (this can be done in isolated days/blocks – at any Cosmetic Tattoo workplace)
• optional Zoom meeting with instructor/trainer for troubleshooting and assistance (or as required)
