Check it out! Meet Calais: "My name is Calais Mumford and I’m the owner of Sleek Line Brows. I’m a wife and mom to 2 (soon to be 3) girls and we live in a small town in northern Utah.  I started my brow journey in 2017, 4 years ago. I discovered about 2 years ago that removal was a topic not highly discussed with not many trainings or knowledge on the topic. So I decided to dig deep into removal and about a year ago I created my Universal Saline Tattoo Removal course right around the time COVID hit, which launched in October of last year. Since launching I’ve had almost 400 artist’s enroll in my course! It’s been truly amazing to watch my business grow and help other artists learn and grow in the pmu industry.  In addition to saline removal I will also be launching my color corrections course this fall 2021 You can find my removal course and other courses at sleeklinebrows.com And if you have any questions you can find me on Instagram at @sleeklinebrows Or shoot me an email at: sleeklinebrows@gmail.com"

Check it out ;) And meet Nicole: "My name is Nicole Rizzuto, an NBSTSA certified surgical technologist, seasoned artist and tattooist that is bringing both the medical and art world together in my career. In my early age, I practiced body art tattooing in a private apprenticeship for a year and had a promising tattoo career. Due to a kidney cancer diagnosis I had to pause my tattooing career and focus on my health. After two major surgeries and overcoming complications arising, I decided to give back in the medical world. Surgery became another passion of mine. As a Certified Surgical Technologist I am part of the surgical team and patient advocate. From orthopedics to neurosurgery and all in between, I am in a crucial role in the operating room. Because of my eleven plus years of surgical experience, I have been part of hundreds of mastectomy and reconstruction surgeries. Understanding the procedure from a anatomical level and impact to a patients body elevated my knowledge in performing nipple tattoos.  I am grateful I have the opportunity to bring both of my passions and skills together to further help people in healing and transforming their lives through the Art of Areola Restorative Tattooing".
