1. What is a medical tattoo?
Medical tattooing involves implanting pigment into the skin to restore or enhance natural features. Common applications include areola tattooing, scar camouflage and scalp micropigmentation.
2. Who can volunteer as a model?
We welcome individuals of all genders and backgrounds. Common reasons for volunteering include: Needing areola restoration after breast surgery. Wanting to camouflage scars or stretch marks. Requiring scalp micropigmentation to address hair loss. We’ll assess suitability based on your medical history and desired outcome.
3. Is it safe to volunteer?
All treatments are carried out in a clean, professional environment using sterile equipment. Our trainers oversee every procedure to ensure safety and quality.
4. Will it hurt?
Discomfort varies depending on the treatment and individual pain tolerance. A numbing cream is used to minimise any discomfort during the procedure.
5. How much does it cost?
As a model, you’ll pay a nominal fee of £75* to cover material costs.
​
6. Can I volunteer if I already have pigmentation on my brows?
Yes, you can still volunteer, but it’s important to let us know in advance. Please provide a clear picture of your brows so we can evaluate. If suitable, you will be included as part of the 'Brow Correction' section of the course, as models are required specifically for this training.
​
7. What should I expect during the procedure?
Procedures are completed by students under expert supervision and may take longer than those performed by experienced practitioners. This allows students to learn and refine their techniques thoroughly.
​8. Are there any pre-tattoo care instructions I need to follow?

Tea

Fizzy drinks
-
Ibuprofen or other blood-thinning medications
-
Wine or other alcoholic beverages

We aim to match models with students based on training needs, so your preferences will be considered but may need to align with the training curriculum.
