Why doesn't Radiant Ink offer microblading anymore?

Microblading has been popular for years, but it's not the best option for most people. In fact, only 25% of clients are ideal candidates. It’s not great for oily skin, mature skin, or deeper skin tones—and can lead to trauma, fading, and color changes like blue or ashy brows over time. Microblading also causes more skin trauma and scarring, requires more maintenance, and often blurs into a powder brow anyway. That’s why I offer Nano Brows instead—no cutting, less trauma, and longer-lasting results.

What are ombre brows?

Ombre brows, also called powdered brows, create a soft, gradient effect using shading. This technique starts lighter at the front of the brow and gets darker toward the tail, giving a natural, filled-in look. Unlike microblading, ombre brows use a tattoo machine to softly shade the entire brow, which results in better pigment retention and longer-lasting results.

Nano brows use a PMU machine with a fine needle (around 0.18mm) to create ultra-precise hair-like strokes. Unlike microblading, nano brows don’t cut the skin, making them more gentle and ideal for clients with sensitive, oily, or mature skin. They're perfect for filling sparse brows and last longer due to better pigment retention.

Things not to do after a PMU brow service

For 14+ days after your PMU procedure, avoid sun exposure, sweating, getting brows wet, and using makeup or skincare on the area. Also avoid saunas, pools, massages, and exfoliants. Don’t touch or scratch the brows. After day 14, resume most activities, but avoid chemical peels or laser treatments near the brow area until fully healed.

Permanent Makeup Training in California: How Radiant Ink Helps You Get Your Body Art License + Build Your Career

Why Every PMU Artist Needs a Body Art License in California

If you’re serious about starting a career in permanent makeup, the first step is getting your Body Art License. Without it, you can’t legally work on paying clients in California.

Here’s what you should know:

The license is issued by the Health Department.
You need a permitted facility address to apply.
Many new artists get stuck because they don’t have their own studio yet.

Unfortunately, most PMU trainers don’t cover this part — they teach you technique and then leave you to figure out the legal process on your own.

How Radiant Ink Students Get Licensed Fast

At Radiant Ink Beauty Studios in Torrance, CA, we believe that training should prepare you for a real career, not just a certificate.

That’s why every Radiant Ink student gets:

• ✅ Body Art License sponsorship using our fully permitted facility.

• ✅ Step-by-step guidance on paperwork with the Health Department.

• ✅ Entry into the system so you’re legally ready to take clients right away.

Most trainers don’t offer this — but we do, because we know it’s the difference between learning a skill and actually making money with it.

The Safety Net Program: More Than Just Training

We designed our exclusive Safety Net Program to make sure you never feel alone after class. It includes:

2 months of free chair rental in our gothic-luxury Torrance studio.
Hands-on support during your first client appointments.
Lifetime mentorship for artistry, licensing, and business questions.
Free beauty business coaching to help you grow income streams.
Ongoing marketing help to attract and keep clients.

Training is just the start. At Radiant Ink, we give you the foundation to actually thrive.
