From Frustration to Freedom: How Girlz Ink Online Courses Transformed My PMU Career
Written by Girlz Ink Apprentice Ashley Yoshida
If you're a permanent makeup artist feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or limited by your past training let me be the first to tell you: you’re not alone. I was there too. But taking the online courses at Girlz Ink Academy was the game-changer I didn’t know I needed.
From the moment I enrolled, I could tell this wasn’t your average online training. The education was detailed, thorough, and rooted in real-world PMU knowledge. These weren’t just courses—they were a complete mindset shift.
Getting to Know My Machines (Finally)
One of the first things that blew my mind was learning that not all machines are created equal. In past trainings, I was taught one speed, one needle, and one direction. No wonder I was stuck!
Girlz Ink’s machine education taught me how different machines perform, how needle configurations respond to each one, and how battery types (corded vs cordless) can actually influence your comfort and precision.
That knowledge alone gave me the freedom to customize my setup to suit my hand, my technique, and my goals.
Let’s Talk Needles: Teryn's Game-Changing Course
If you’ve never taken The Needle & The Prick course, put it on your radar now. This course alone was worth its weight in gold.
I learned:
🩷 Which needles are best for different skin types
🩷 How to avoid overworking the skin
🩷 What needle will get me the healed result I want
Before this course, I was using a 1RL for brows (yeah... I know 😅). It was a struggle. It took me hours to finish a set, and I couldn’t get the shading or blend I wanted. Since learning about shader needles, different tapers, and how to select the right tool for each job my results have completely transformed.
More Tools = More Creative Freedom
What I love most about the Girlz Ink courses is that they don’t force you into one way of doing things. Instead, they empower you with options **needles, voltages, movements, machines**so you can discover what works best for you.
Teryn’s style of teaching encourages experimentation in a way that’s safe, informed, and rooted in technique. That’s where real growth happens. These courses helped me get out of the box, improve my speed, and finally feel confident creating looks that reflect my own artistry.
