TGS Lab Academy · Scottsdale, Arizona

Paramedical Scar & Stretch Mark Camouflage Training (Hybrid)

Not every paramedical tattoo trainer is a licensed Academy. TGS Lab is.

TGS Lab Academy holds a State-issued Conditional Vocational Program License through Arizona's Private Postsecondary Education board -- meaning this program meets the legal standards of an actual licensed educational institution, not just someone selling a course.

2 Online Pre-Study Courses + 3-Day In-Person Intensive · Arizona State Conditionally Licensed · Limited to 3 Students

The Work That Helps People Feel at Home in Their Skin Again.

In this hybrid training, you’ll learn the full theory and hands-on techniques of scar and stretch mark camouflage so you can safely perform paramedical tattoo procedures, deliver real visual transformations for your clients, and confidently charge premium prices for your services.

01

Read any scar or stretch mark with a trained, clinical eye

02

Match undertone and depth across every skin tone you serve

03

Charge with confidence and build a referral-driven practice

There is just one problem...

Most camouflage training is either too theoretical or too rushed to use on a real client Monday morning.

Online courses leave you guessing the second a real scar is in front of you.
Generic PMU training barely touches paramedical color theory or scar physiology.
Weekend crash courses skip the practice hours you need to feel safe.
And no one prepares you for the emotional weight of the work itself.

By the end of this training, you’ll be able to…

Identify which scars and stretch marks are safe and appropriate for camouflage
Design and map treatment plans tailored to different skin types and conditions
Select and mix pigments for natural-looking, long-lasting results
Perform scar and stretch mark camouflage procedures step by step with confidence
Implement studio safety, sanitation, and aftercare standards that protect you and your clients
Add paramedical camouflage as a high-value service in your menu and price it profitably

Here is the truth

You can learn this craft without sacrificing rigor or your clients' trust.

TGS Lab Academy is the training I wish I had when I started. Small cohorts, live models, and a curriculum built from years of full-time paramedical practice — so you leave Scottsdale with portfolio-ready work, not just a certificate.

Tell Me More

Taught by Someone Who Did It Yesterday.

TGS Lab Academy is led by Tiffany Stewart — owner of TGS Lab and a full-time practicing paramedical specialist who treats real clients daily when she's not teaching. Her instruction comes from current, real-world studio experience. Not theory in isolation.

Most training programs are led by full-time educators who haven't worked on a client in years. Here, the techniques you learn on Day One were used on a client last week.

That's the difference.

◈ Small Class Sizes

Limited to 3 students per session. You get real attention, not a seat in a room.

◈ Real Studio Environment

Train inside an active Scottsdale studio — not a disconnected classroom.

◈ Hybrid Format

Complete theory at home before you arrive so every in-person hour is hands-on.

◈ Live Model Work

Practice on real skin with real tissue response and real-time feedback.

From the Cohort

"I took the Scar Camouflage training course at TGS Lab Academy and I absolutely loved it! I got so much incredible information beforehand that I feel like really set me up for success before even meeting Tiffany. I instantly felt welcomed and comfortable."

Meet Your Instructor

Tiffany Stewart

Tiffany is the founder of TGS Lab and lead instructor of TGS Lab Academy. She came to aesthetics from a clinical background — years as a Medical Assistant in a dermatology practice — then added PMU, then trained one-on-one in advanced scar camouflage and inkless revision with Bianca Festejo of Nue Conceal.

Today she treats clients in TGS Lab every week -- tummy tucks, brachioplasty, facelift and breast surgery scars, stretch marks, accident scars, deeply personal skin stories. Her students train in the same studio where that work happens.

You are not learning from someone who left the room. You are learning beside someone who is still in it.
