Congratulations on your interest in becoming a licensed permanent makeup professional! As we discussed in our post on How to become a Microblading/Permanent Makeup Artist, license requirements are determined by the state in which you want to practice. As such, there is no one specific process to become licensed. Because microblading and permanent makeup are both forms of cosmetic tattoo, they are usually regulated as artistic tattoos.
