DUCATION

If you are looking to advance in your career, or potentially change the trajectory of your life entirely, I can give you the tools you need to succeed.

As an artist and your educator, Fortitude Studios is committed to asking the “why” behind the technical choices and take every factor into consideration when working with clients. Through this comprehensive training program, your approach to skin anatomy, tools and equipment, color theory, pigmentology, and aftercare will be transformed. You will learn how to tattoo with the healed results in mind and work with intention. Understanding and owning your knowledge will empower you to make the right decisions for your clients and your work.

Fortitude Studios is in the pursuit of teaching students how to discern between “regurgitated information” passed along from word of mouth and “knowledge backed by science” to truly make informed decisions when it comes to their clients’ best interests and predictable results with longevity.

You’ve come to the right place, where integrity is demonstrated and prioritized. As a student of Fortitude Studios, you are encouraged to share your wins and advocate for yourself when you seek assistance! You will be provided consistent support throughout your entire journey in this industry.

WHAT TO EXPECT

E

As a permanent makeup/beauty business coach who helps artists develop, create and market their online training on a daily basis, I’ve reviewed countless permanent makeup curriculums.

I can confidently say that this is one of THE MOST in-depth trainings I’ve had the honor to review. I am still in awe of the amount of information shared in this powder brow training; it is truly unparalleled. Tracee's knowledge is nothing short of incredible, she has a natural ability to help you understand and grasp even the most complex concepts. Her previous experience as a teacher in a classroom makes her one of the most qualified trainers I’ve ever come across! She’s created a cohesive curriculum, the information is so detailed and her communication style is easy to understand.

This course includes modules I’ve never come across in any other training I’ve taken or seen in the past. I’ve come to realize that many of the courses offered in this industry are incomplete and most students end up taking additional training to fill the gaps. This is not the case with Tracee’s course!

If you're looking for the best of the best in powder brow training, look no further. You won’t need to take another powder brow training after this one! You’ll be confident, ready and competent to take on clients as soon as you complete it, in addition to falling in love with Tracee’s energy! She’s one of the most kind hearted, generous souls you’ll come across; you’ll have not only found the perfect mentor but a true friend who genuinely wants you to succeed!

Five stars, hands down, for this truly amazing course and trainer!

Taking this course by Fortitude Studios allowed me to feel confident to add Powder Brows to my services.

This course was so extensive in all aspects of my appointments. From insurance to consent forms to picking the correct pigment, I truly feel like I learned more about every element of an appointment. My favorite module was the one about picking pigment. It was amazing to see the pigment be related to the color wheel. The instructor, Tracee, is a former art teacher so she really was able to explain colors and make it make sense. I am excited to implement the processes and procedures Fortitude taught. Thanks for creating such an organized and thorough course. Put me on the list for future courses!

Taking this course from Fortitude Studios set me up for success. I feel knowledgeable and confident in all facets of starting a business and offering Powder Brows as a service.

It not only covers how to create a perfect brow for every client - from mapping to pigment color to covering how to talk to clients before and during their appointment and how to protect yourself as a business owner. Tracee’s background as an artist and an educator are prevalent throughout the course. She is thorough and diversified in her teaching techniques. I would highly recommend Tracee and Fortitude Studios' courses as a voice of authority in the industry.

To the creator of this incredible curriculum, Tracee, well done! I have to tell you that I’m superbly impressed.

I was just talking about this with my assistant because I’m the Operations Director at the AAM, and we review curriculum on a daily basis. This 251-page curriculum is just stunning, beautifully presented, beautifully made, wonderful graphics… I love that I see you in the curriculum as well and get to know you a little bit better. I love the video content and I love how you mixed it in there, as well. It looks beautiful. It’s so well made!
