KATELAN SCHMIDT

The powerhouse behind some of Australia’s most natural cosmetic tattoo results.

I didn’t enter the cosmetic tattoo industry with a background in beauty or business. What I did have was a determination to learn properly, and the patience to do things the intentional way. Over the past decade, I’ve performed 5,000+ treatments, trained with some of the most respected PMU educators in the world, and built a fully booked, highly trusted cosmetic tattoo business from the ground up. That depth matters, because it’s shaped how I work, how I problem-solve and how I teach. The Academy exists because I know how overwhelming this industry can feel when education focuses on trends instead of understanding. And I know how powerful it is when training is grounded in real skin experience, healed results, and the realities of building a sustainable PMU business. Everything taught here reflects how I work in the studio every day: intentional, skin-first, and designed for long-term success, not shortcuts. Mastering cosmetic tattooing isn’t just about technique. It’s about confidence, decision-making, and knowing why your work performs the way it does.
