What to do in slower seasons of permanent makeup

Every Slow Season Serves a Purpose (Even If It Doesn’t Feel Like It)

You know those months when bookings dip, your content isn’t going viral - the algorithm keeps changing, and you start questioning everything? Yeah—We’ve all been there, more than once.

But here’s what I’ve learned: slow seasons aren’t punishment—they’re preparation.

When business quiets down, that’s your cue to:

  •  Audit your systems.
  •  Refine your client experience.
  •  Rest without guilt.
  •  Reconnect with your bigger vision.

In my own quiet seasons, I’ve built courses, rebranded my business, completed projects I’ve been wanting to do but just been too busy to get to and even deepened my craft—not because everything was booming, but because I finally had space to breathe and create without pressure.

So if you're in that space right now? Don’t panic. Don’t force. Listen to what this season is asking of you. Sometimes your next breakthrough isn’t in the hustle, it’s in the pause.

The Industry Is Only as Strong as Its Artists

Let’s be honest: the PMU industry has exploded in recent years—and while that’s exciting, it also means it’s more important than ever to stay connected to real artistry, real ethics, and real community.

That’s why I say this: The industry doesn’t need more gatekeeping. It needs more community empowerment.

Whether you're a new artist, a seasoned vet, or somewhere in between—you matter. Your standards matter. Your voice matters.

Every time you:

  •  Share your healed results honestly,
  •  Mentor a new artist with integrity,
  •  Speak up about poor practices,
  •  Or set boundaries that protect your peace...

You're helping elevate this space for all of us.

We’re not just tattooing faces—we’re building an industry. And that means we have a responsibility to each other.

So next time you hit a slow week, sit down breathe, and think: what things have I not been able to get to that would bring me joy? Do that❤️
