Practicing the craft is crucial to any new Permanent make-up or microblading artist. But how do we know if we have had enough practice time before we feel confident enough to work on real skin??

Even if we practice a thousand fake skins, at the end of the day, the real practice comes from doing the actual work, on real skin. 

However, you should definitely get some type of practice & training in before doing it on a real person because at the end of the day, it is somebody's face after all.

Many professionals have confessed to doing hundreds if not thousands of practice brows before moving up to real skin & that is because we want to make sure the machine technique is down, the hand & wrist form is comfortable, & the list goes on. However, nothing will compare to real skin other than the actual thing. 

Once you have practiced enough days on fake skin, it is time to move on to real skin.

1. Choose your model (preferably somebody you know & trust)
2. Make sure to follow all health guidelines - cleanliness is important
3. Take your time, pick a lighter pigment (just in case you need to cover up)
4. Take many before/after photos so you can learn from them

Most importantly, remember that less is more in this case.
