    No Clients, No Plan B | Inspired by Ms Amber Red

    Send us a text There’s a side of tattooing that goes deeper than brows and lips — the kind that is soul healing💫 In this episode, we sit down with Jessica or rn_healthy_skin of Las Vegas, our newest renter specializing in paramedical tattooing and stretch mark camouflage with NuConceal. She opens up about what it’s really like to start over while taking the leap & quitting her 9-5 RN position and become a new paramedical artist — the fear, the doubt, and the quiet courage it takes to build something from scratch. Jessica shares how she mapped out her business for a slow and steady start, why she refuses to rush her growth, and how that patience became her power. You’ll hear her talk about the transformative results of NuConceal, how it blends seamlessly into scar tissue, and how she’s helping clients rewrite their confidence one session at a time. This episode isn’t just about camouflage tattooing — it’s about staying the course when the path feels uncertain, betting on your artistry, and building a career that heals people in more ways than one. 🎧 Listen now — because success in PMU isn’t always fast, but it’s always worth it.
