Please review each point before applying.

I understand that this program is the beginning of my piercing journey. The online learning and initial modeling weekend provide a foundation to build on; I will not learn everything or be ready to work independently after one day or one weekend.I understand that pillars open gradually and learning includes practice and review before live-model participation.I understand that the online requirements are to be completed within three months of course access. I then have six months after completion and approval to attend an available Academy-set weekend in Loveland.I understand that the Certificate of Completion recognizes the online education and foundational hands-on training I completed. It does not mean Picosa Ink endorses me to pierce independently.I understand that optional mentorship has a separate monthly fee and progresses by piercing type and individual readiness, without a fixed completion deadline.I understand that at-home needle practice is only on the fake ear and nose provided in my kit. Practice on people takes place during supervised, in-person training.I understand that applying does not guarantee acceptance and that no payment is collected with this application.

After review, we’ll email you about next steps or any questions we’d like to discuss. Accepted applicants receive enrollment details before payment.
