The AAM was founded in 1992 as a not-for-profit organization to promote excellence in micropigmentation through a voluntary examination process. This national board certification and continuing educational process improves the quality of the permanent makeup profession. Thus, the Academy, through rigorous due diligence and testing certifies permanent makeup professionals. The goal is for the AAM to guide and promote appropriate legislation for self-direction for all practitioners in each State. The International Academy of Micropigmentation is for micropigmentation professionals who reside outside of the United States. The professionals engaged in the art, science and practice of permanent makeup are united within the Academy despite geographical location. Everyone benefits from the creation of a national and international standard for cosmetic tattoo professionals in the 21st Century.
