Why Olive N Sage

Training built in the treatment room.

In-studio practice.

Working-studio learning

Learn the consultation, case assessment, and client communication around the technique, not just the movements you see in a demonstration.

Surgeon referral network

Five surgeons refer their patients to our Reno studio. You’ll learn how we built those relationships so you can build your own.

Get Blended ink system

Camo Elite Chromatology™ leads with color theory and the Get Blended CMYK+W system. Inkless training is a distinct, no-pigment path.

Alumni for life

Olive N Sage Alumni: private group and direct access to Chaz and Tricia, for life.

A check-in after class

In-person Inkless includes a post-class Zoom check-in with a model, so you can keep asking practical questions as you apply what you learned.

The business around the work

Consultations, pricing, marketing, and a realistic client plan are part of the education. A skill without clients is not a career.

The work behind the training

Real cases. Real results.

Meet Tricia and Chaz

It started with a reason to help.

I had a health scare. Chaz learned how to help me. Then we started teaching.

“We don’t teach technique, we teach understanding.”

We teach from our working Reno studio. You learn the client consultation and the business around the treatment with the technique.

“A skill without clients is not a career.”
