Softening mature brows takes a different eye and hand, it's the specialty I've built deliberately.
Expert PMU Training by Nicole Cameron
I'm Nicole Cameron, and alongside my client work at Art Cosmetic Tattooing in Wollongong, I offer one to one Permanent Makeup, or PMU, training for artists who want to learn to work as softly and carefully as I do.
Why Train With Art Cosmetic Tattooing
Cosmetic tattooing has proven far more challenging, and far more rewarding, than I ever expected, and I'm grateful to pass that experience on. I've spent more than ten years specialising equally in
brows,
lips and
eyeliner in the Illawarra, and in 2025 I won Outstanding Brows and Lashes at the Illawarra Small Business Awards, a result built directly on the technique I now teach.
I trained across Sydney, the Gold Coast and Melbourne myself, plus two advanced training trips to the USA studying under internationally acclaimed Permanent Makeup Artists. I know first hand what makes training genuinely useful versus training that just ticks a box, and I teach the way I wish I'd been taught.

What I Teach
My training is built around the same Softshade philosophy that runs through my client work, taught properly rather than rushed:
Soft Shade and Soft Shade Contour brow tattooing technique
Satin lip blush tattooing, from natural to more vivid tones
Velvet eyeliner tattooing, tailored to different eye shapes
Facial symmetry, mapping and in depth pigment and colour theory for every area

Course Format
Training is delivered one to one, in person, so you get my full attention rather than sharing time with a room full of other students. Course length and structure are built around your existing experience and what you want to specialise in, whether that's brows, lips, eyeliner, or all three.
Wollongong's Award-Winning Cosmetic Tattoo Studio
Art Cosmetic Tattooing is the 2025 winner of the Brows & Lashes Services category at the Illawarra and South Coast Local Business Awards, announced at the Fraternity Club in Fairy Meadow. It's the kind of recognition that comes from clients and local peers, and it reflects the standard we hold ourselves to on every brow, lip and liner appointment in our Corrimal studio.
I have built the business on that same approach, treating each client's brows, lips or liner as a one-on-one consultation rather than a quick, one size fits all job. If you're after a
cosmetic tattoo artist Wollongong locals have already voted for, we are a great place to start.
Does eyebrow tattoo hurt?
Most clients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain, and I apply professional topical numbing before every appointment to keep you comfortable throughout.
Real Answers about PMU Training
Do I need experience already to train with you?
Some background helps, but we can talk through what level you're at during an initial chat, and I'll tailor the course accordingly.
What will I be able to do once I've trained with you?
You'll be equipped to offer Soft Shade, Satin and Velvet style treatments to your own clients, with a solid grounding in colour theory, facial mapping and hygiene practice.
