I trained with Iccon International as an already experienced SPMU artist and it was great. My trainer was very helpful with technique and sharing the knowledge of the industry. He shared where is best to buy the most efficient supplies and equipment which was so useful. I feel like the Iccon International team is available to me if I have any questions while I am working alone. This after care is priceless as a new practitioner!

very recently trained with Iccon International in their London location. Knowing that they were one of the most reputable companies performing both SMP and training, I travelled from Glasgow to attend. I thoroughly enjoyed the training and now feel confident to perform the treatment on others. We had serious training but also some laughs along the way which was nice. Justin and Matt are great trainers who really know their stuff, They will put you at ease. Looking forward to putting my new skills into practice! Highly recommend!

If you are looking to train in SMP then Iccon International is the one. Justin was very welcoming on the first day and considering the amount of knowledge this guy has he was very humble in training new recruits and did it with such ease considering he had a full class with varied abilities. The theory knowledge was delivered at a comfortable pace and hands on for the last 2 days. He was patient, guided you when needed but never took over to show off or make you feel like a new technician. You pay for what you get and this was 5* training… there hasn’t been a ‘last day training’ as the ongoing support has been amazing. I’ve met some great people and we all keep in touch. Thanks again Iccon International.

I recently trained with Iccon International on the 4 day course. SMP was totally new to me had never picked up a tattoo machine before. I cannot recommend these guys enough. No stone is left unturned in their training and the patience shown by the trainers is absolutely unbelievable. Nothing was too much trouble. I looked at a couple of different courses and am so glad I picked Iccon International. They are not scared to pass on all of their expert knowledge and tell you all they know. They want you to be able to leave their course confident that you can grow your new business, you can tell how much they want you to do well. Their aftercare is also great. I can’t thank you enough Iccon International.

I recently finished my training with Iccon International and can honestly say it was one of my best experiences. Coming from a background with no experience in industry i was nervous however the trainers knowledge on scalp Micropigmentation was second to none and from the first day I felt at ease. I am now able to perform procedures from my own clinic with confidence but also know that when ever I need advice I have that ongoing support from Iccon International. Thank you.

Completed SMP training in April with Iccon International and have come away feeling confident enough to transition in to the world of SMP based on the thorough training provided. The practical and theory aspect of this training course have been well thought out and no minor detail has been left out. The patience and friendliness included has made me feel at ease from day one. The aftercare support has given me the confidence to know I am never alone and continue to have the advice and guidance at the tip of my finger tips.

Have just completed my SMP training with Justin and Matt and have had a great week. They are so knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth, they made the experience great. I have come away feeling really confident to start my SMP journey, even more so with their friendly approach giving us life time advice and support. Would recommend this course to anyone wanting to enter the SMP world.

Travelled from Germany to train with Iccon International in the UK. I do not regret this decision at all. I learnt a great deal. The course was very well structured with lots of hands on experience. The best of all was being able to work many hours on live models. Highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to learn SMP.

Recently completed the scalp micro pigmentation course with Iccon International. Couldn’t have chosen a better institute to train with. You get taught not only how to do scalp pigmentation but also how to set up and run a clinic. I have come from never holding an ink gun in my life to knowing how to perform a scalp micropigmentation treatment in 4 days of training and the confidence to do it. Thank you Iccon International.
