ELEVATED PMU EDUCATION
INKK PMU Academy offers intimate, hands-on permanent makeup education for artists who want more than a certificate.
With over 15 years of experience in the beauty industry, I focus on helping students understand not only technique, but the artistry, judgment, client experience, and confidence needed to create beautiful work in the real world.
Training is intentionally kept private or small so every student receives meaningful instruction, direct feedback, and hands-on support.

TRAINING
You are not coming to INKK PMU Academy simply to watch a demonstration and leave with a certificate.
You are coming to learn how to think like an artist.
I want you to understand why a technique works, how to recognize when something is going wrong, how to adapt to different skin types, and how to make confident decisions behind the machine.
My goal is for you to leave with greater skill as well as greater understanding.
TECHNIQUE
Understand your machine,
movement, depth and pigment implantation
PROBLEM SOLVING
Learn how to assess skin,
recognize issues and be able to adapt and adjust.
ARTISTRY
Develop your eye for shape, balance and color to achieve natural results.
BUSINESS REALITY
Discuss client experience, photography, pricing, retention and more.
YOUR TRAINING EXPERIENCE
MEET YOUR TRAINER
I’m Kandice Jackson, founder of INKK Studio and INKK PMU Academy.
I have spent more than 15 years in the beauty industry and have continued to heavily advance my education in permanent makeup, corrective work, lips, brows, eyeliner, and natural healed-result techniques.
I believe good PMU education requires more than memorizing a pattern. It requires understanding skin, technique, artistry, client expectations, and the decisions that happen behind every beautiful result.
My training style is direct, supportive, hands-on, and intentionally personal. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and learning why something works instead of simply being told what to do.
