Masterton

Nicole Brown

I can not wait to be part of the New Zealand PMU Conference!

I have always loved sharing my knowledge with my students and am so excited to share with so many like minded artists in Auckland 2024.

A bit about me,

I have been Cosmetic Tattooing for the past five years in my clinic in Masterton, New Zealand.

I started my training in eyebrow tattooing and now offer eyebrows, eyeliner, lips and areola tattooing. Prior to becoming a cosmetic tattooist I was a hairdresser and owned a wedding hair and makeup business. Working as a hairdresser gave me an intricate understanding of colour and my ability to tone and dissect colour has proved hugely valuable as a cosmetic tattooist.

As well as a Tattooist I am a PMU Trainer. I love to share this knowledge and all I have learnt along the way with my students in Advanced trainings to hone technique and improve tattoo longevity.

For me, the PMU industry allows me to be a ‘creative perfectionist’ I love all aspects of PMU but have quickly become known for my eyeliner techniques. Eyeliner is definitely a favourite for me. Working on and around the eye is intricate and I pride myself on creating subtle but beautiful eyeliners that suit my clients. Over the past five years I have had many highlights. These include becoming the Main provider for Sweet Louise NZ. Sweet Louise is a charity for those with incurable breast cancer, although tough it is so rewarding being able to help those in their last months look their best.

In 2021 I was awarded NZ Cosmetic Tattooist of the year, and in 2022 I won both the Advanced Eyeliner and Advanced Ombre Brows at APMAC in Australia. Although awards are a great recognition of hard work, the biggest reward this job brings is smiles to faces. There is nothing better than giving someone a confidence boost and thats definitely what I’m here for.

I am honoured to be part of the team for the NZ PMU Conference and can not wait to meet everyone in Auckland, July 2024.
