Olive N Sage Academy, Reno, Nevada

Eight years treating clients. 1,000+ real cases. Five surgeon referral partners. 450+ graduates practicing nationwide. CE-accredited. Trainer for Artemis.

You’ve looked at other programs. Here’s what most of them don’t tell you.

Most paramedical tattoo training programs teach you technique on practice skin, hand you a certificate, and say good luck. Some lock you into their product line so you’re buying their inks forever. Others teach one person’s method — great artist, but what happens when you need to problem-solve a case they didn’t cover?

At Olive N Sage, you learn inside a working studio. Real clients. Real cases. Real surgeon consults happening around you. You don’t just learn how to tattoo a scar — you learn how to build the practice around it.

We built this program from the treatment room, not a textbook.

Our Own Ink Line

We developed our own formulations because we needed inks that held up on scar tissue, stretch marks, and post-surgical skin. Your training includes learning to work with — and think beyond — a single product system.

Artemis — Medical-Grade Serums

We train on Artemis — a medical-grade inkless and clear camouflage serum designed specifically for inkless tattoo procedures.

A Business Education Built Into Your Training

You’ll learn how to rank on Google so clients find you before your competitors. How to turn your Instagram into a pipeline, not just a portfolio. How to consult and close without feeling salesy. And how to build surgeon referral relationships.

Real cases. Real results.

8 years in a working studio means thousands of transformations — stretch marks, post-surgical scars, areola restoration, tiny tattoos, camouflage. This is the work your clients will come to you for.

Graduate Stories

I came in as a nurse with zero tattoo experience. I left with four certifications, a full business plan, and my first surgeon referral within a month of graduating.

Sarah M., RN — Google Review

The business training alone was worth the investment. Tricia taught me how to build surgeon relationships and now I have three referring doctors in my city.

I’ve taken other PMU courses. This was the first one where I felt like I actually knew what I was doing when I left. The live model experience changes everything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need tattoo experience to enroll?
No. Most of our students come from nursing, PMU, esthetics, or are complete career changers. We teach from zero.
Is the CE accreditation real?
Yes. Olive N Sage Academy is the only CE-accredited paramedical tattoo training program in the U.S. Your continuing education credits count.
What’s the difference between inkless and camouflage?
Inkless uses serums (no pigment) to trigger the body’s healing response for stretch marks, scars, and wrinkles. Camouflage uses custom-mixed pigments to color-match and conceal scars and skin irregularities.
Do you help with business setup after graduation?
Yes. Business training is built into every program — SEO, social media, pricing, surgeon outreach, and client consultation frameworks.
Can I finance my training?
Yes. We offer payment plans on all programs. Ask about current financing options when you book your discovery call.
