Not a hate post ❌ just educating 💗
I’ve recently seen a lot of mis-information around choosing a PMU artist based solely on them being a registered nurse — with the assumption that this automatically makes the service safer or better.
PMU is a cosmetic tattoo procedure, not a medical treatment. All qualified PMU artists — regardless of background — are trained through accredited PMU courses that cover hygiene, safety, skin anatomy, and proper technique.
The term “nurse-led clinic” can imply medical oversight or clinical decision-making, which isn’t actually required or used in cosmetic tattooing.
What truly determines the quality and safety of lip blush is:
✨ proper PMU training
✨ consistent practice
✨ experience on real clients
✨ and most importantly — healed results
When choosing a PMU artist, always look at their portfolio, healed work, and experience, rather than titles alone 🤍
