Institute of Art & Science

Dive into the world of PMU with our Institute of Art & Science.

The Artistry By Zuri Institute of Art and Science is the first and only in the nation that hyperfocuses on the scientific principles of PMU. Our trainings are strategically designed to teach you the high level content that actually makes you a great artist. We push you beyond tactical skill and do not show you how, we show you why. Several courses are offered throughout the year teaching various beginner and advanced techniques.

Our training programs are meticulously designed to merge artistic techniques with scientific principles, providing a comprehensive learning experience for aspiring and established PMU artists.

Please see below for detailed course offerings and descriptions keeping in mind that specific courses are offered at different times throughout the year.

Online Courses

We currently offer several online training and masterclasses through the Artistry By Zuri Institute of Art and Science Online platform.

  • With this online course, there is an option to take a live model in studio pending successful completion of all components on our online program. The course curriculum is comparable to our live courses shown above.

  • This online course enhances artistry through bridging gaps between the art of permanent makeup and the scientific principles upon which the art is founded. This course will help you understand the WHY that underlies everything you have ever learned in PMU.

    In this masterclass, Epidemiologist and brow artist, Zuri, provides an overview of how Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Geometry and Virology all contribute to optimal saturation and the healed result.

  • This course seeks to deeply explore healing at the cellular level. In this masterclass, we will discuss:

    The cellular architecture of healing wounds

    The molecular pathways that drive eukaryotic cellular proliferation, differentiation, and migration

    Characterization, structure, and physiological function of individual cells and coordination of cells to form tissues.

    Reducing scar formation for optimal healing
