How to Become a Permanent Makeup Artist in Texas

Texas Permanent Makeup Artistry Careers At a Glance
  • The average salary for permanent makeup artists in Texas is $62,746 ($30.17/hour). This is higher than the national average of $55093 ($26.49/hour).
  • There is a predicted 20% job increase between 2016–2026 for skincare specialists, including permanent makeup artists. This is higher than the expected national growth of 11%.

The cosmetology industry has grown considerably in scope and size since it first made its debut. As an example, look at the field of permanent makeup. The earliest cosmetologists in the United States probably never thought of using needles to permanently etch makeup on skin.

State License Requirements

If you want to be a permanent makeup artist or tattooist in Texas, then you will need to get your license and make sure to keep it up-to-date. The initial license fee for tattoo artists is $928. If you pay late, a $100 fee will be added on to this fee.

Education Details

Proper use of tattoo needles is probably the biggest area of focus in permanent makeup. The improper use of needles can cause skin damage, spread infection, and pose a hygiene risk. For this reason, you can plan on spending several hundred hours learning how to use, clean, and store tattoo needles.

License Renewal

The cost of licensure is also the same cost to renew your license, or transfer the ownership of your shop. Texas also has sanitation and infection control standards that you will need to learn. That's why it's most important to speak with schools in your area that offer permanent makeup artist training.
