You don’t just tattoo faces.
You restore confidence. You create softness. You honor individuality.
At Wild & Free, we believe beauty should feel like you just more supported, more aligned, more at home in your skin.
We are looking for a Permanent Makeup Artist who sees their work as both art + responsibility.
This is not a high-volume, rushed environment.
This is a space for artists who care deeply about detail, healing, and long-term client relationships.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You might be a fit if you:
• Care more about natural, healed results than bold, overdone work
• Believe consultation is just as important as the service
• Are confident in mapping, symmetry, and customization
• Value client trust, safety, and education over quick money
• Want to grow within a holistic, barrier-first, education-driven spa
WHAT YOU’LL DO
• Perform permanent makeup services (brows, lips, liner based on your specialty)
• Conduct thorough, thoughtful consultations
• Customize each service based on face shape, skin condition, and lifestyle
• Educate clients on healing, expectations, and long-term maintenance
• Maintain strict sanitation + infection control standards
• Document services and track client progress
• Contribute to a calm, elevated client experience
WHAT WE VALUE
At Wild & Free, we do things differently.
We are not:
• A “get them in and out” spa
• A place for rushed work or inconsistent standards
We are:
• Detail-oriented
• Education-first
• Deeply client-centered
• Rooted in long-term skin health + integrity
If you’re looking for a place to just “fill your books quickly,” this may not be the right fit and that’s okay.
REQUIREMENTS
• Active Virginia tattoo/PMU licensing (as required)
• Certification in permanent makeup services
• Strong portfolio of healed results (required to apply)
• Knowledge of skin types, contraindications, and healing phases
• Confidence in consultation and client communication
• Professional, grounded, and growth-minded
BONUS IF YOU…
• Have a soft, natural aesthetic style
• Are open to continued education + evolving your technique
• Have experience with sensitive or compromised skin clients
• Love creating an experience not just performing a service
COMPENSATION
• Commission-based (percentage based on experience)
• Retail commission opportunities
• Growth potential within Wild & Free team
HOW TO APPLY
Please do not send a simple resume.
We ask that you submit:
• A short written response:
• “What does natural, healed permanent makeup mean to you?”
• A link to your portfolio (Instagram or website)
• A 2–3 minute video:
• Walk us through how you would consult a first-time brow client

We don’t hire often.
When we do, we are looking for artists who want to build something long-term, refine their craft, and be part of a space that values both artistry and intention.
If that feels like you—we would love to meet you.
Pay: $15.00 - $60.00 per hour
Benefits:
• Employee discount
• Flexible schedule
Work Location: In person
