Hi, everyone! Today we're going to talk about how to hold the permanent makeup machine (or pen) while you're working on a client. Remember, however you position your working hand, you have to consider that you may have to hold it there for a long time, which means that it's critical to develop a healthy working position for your hand.

I'm going to show you my favorite technique—the "ZhuZhu" technique—which allows you to efficiently work on your client for the whole appointment without your hand getting tired, and while maintaining a good stroke. If you sound that name out loud, that refers to the type of sound you want to hear as you move your pen back and forth as you stroke the skin.
