Private mentorship
Just you and Jackson for a full week in the Wollongong studio. Real clients every day. Coached start to finish. Realistic if you want to be treating your own paying clients inside three months.
SMP training with Jackson
Jackson's a certified Industry Trainer & Assessor — the artists he's taught now run most of the SMP studios across Australia. No fixed dates on the calendar: 1:1 mentorships in Wollongong or small-group workshops for 4–6 artists, run when the right cohort forms. Below is what it looks like and how to enquire.
What's actually covered
The technique and the business side both. Real cases in your portfolio by the end of week one. And the same ongoing support the artists Jackson trained years ago still get.
Hairline design, colour theory, machine setup, needle depth, blending, angle work — everything that separates a working artist from someone who's watched a lot of YouTube. Taught in the same room Jackson still treats his own clients in.
You work on live models, coached hour by hour. Silicone practice heads teach you to hold a machine, not to actually do this — so we skip them. You leave with real before-and-afters in your portfolio.
Pricing, positioning, how to actually get reviews, aftercare protocols, insurance, referral loops, the stuff you can't easily find on YouTube because it's specific to how SMP studios make money.
You end up in a private group chat with the other artists Jackson's trained. Monthly Zoom for case reviews. Not a marketing promise — Jackson genuinely stays involved because trained artists eventually send us referrals.
Two formats
Just you and Jackson for a full week in the Wollongong studio. Real clients every day. Coached start to finish. Realistic if you want to be treating your own paying clients inside three months.
Three days with 4–6 other artists. Suited to tattoo artists, cosmetic-tattoo/PMU practitioners, and barbers looking to add SMP to their offering. Same content as the 1:1, plus the benefit of learning alongside a peer group.
Past classes
