International permanent makeup specialist Stanislav Miroshnichenko opens up in a new interview about judging major championships, his educational work, and how he is raising the bar for the industry throughout Latin America.
Stanislav, it’s been a long time since we spoke. Your work in Latin America is really gaining traction. What would you say this new phase of your career is?
It’s been a very exciting time of constant growth and growing engagement with the international community. Working with different countries in Latin America has allowed me to better understand the local ways of doing things. It has opened up new opportunities for developing educational programs and implementing more meaningful expert projects.
These days I actually spend more time teaching, judging competitions, and speaking at events than doing procedures myself. “It seems the right evolution.
Last year was filled with professional events. What kind of roles did you do?
In 2025, I participated in six big international events. I was a judge for five Etalon Mix semifinals and the Latin American Permanent Makeup Championship.
Judging is not just about selecting the winners. It’s about helping to establish consistent quality standards across the industry.” “It’s a massive responsibility, and you have to be completely impartial.
So, your expert role kept growing in 2026?
Yes. Exactly. I’m still on international judging panels this year. I have judged more than ten Etalon Mix semi-finals and a number of other professional events.
This way of being active keeps me in touch with top experts around the world and helps push for consistent, fair standards in micropigmentation wherever you are in the world.
You have also spoken at major Congresses. Can you talk about that?
In 2025, I presented at the WULOP congresses in Uruguay and Paraguay. I shared my signature technique called The Russian Kiss (Beso Ruso). It’s about natural-looking results, anatomical precision, really customizing everything for the individual client.” It’s such a big part of the conversation in our industry, sharing original methods like this.
Are you going to continue the international educational work in 2026?
Oh, of course. I will be traveling to Latin America for a number of professional trips in my capacity as guest speaker and instructor. I run masterclasses teaching my technique to working professionals. These exchanges allow specialists from different countries to learn from each other and move towards higher, more uniform standards.
This year you also became an ambassador of some international brands. How has that worked out?
I was the official ambassador for Latin Look and Biomaser in Argentina. The focus is very much on education and industry development, which raises the overall training level for professionals. I personally think this is a natural next step for me and for more cooperation between countries.
Education seems to be a key part of everything you do. What do you care so much about?
This is one of the core elements of my work. I teach beginners and experienced artists who want to improve their skills and organize their knowledge better.
You don’t just teach the procedures. A good understanding of anatomy, skin physiology, tissue healing, and the behavior of pigments over time is essential. That deeper knowledge translates into safer work and better decisions for clients.
You always talk about a scientific and methodical way to work with micropigmentation. What does that look like in action?
Over years of performing procedures and teaching, I have developed a systematic approach to work that considers each person’s unique anatomy and morphology. It helps artists to make conscious and informed choices, rather than to follow trends blindly. “I really think that the profession can only grow in a sustainable way if we build on real knowledge and understanding.
Your work on male micropigmentation is impressive. What makes this place so important to you?
Male micropigmentation is still quite a new direction and requires a very different mindset. The goals, the visual expectations, and the demand for natural results are much more stringent. When done right, it opens up new horizons for specialists and contributes to building a more modern and respectful culture around aesthetic treatments that celebrate individuality.
What do you see as the future of your international work?
I want to continue judging competitions, lecturing, and visiting different countries. For me, the most important thing is to find the right balance of doing hands-on practice, training others and contributing to the industry as a whole. That balance allows me to share what I have learned and help establish lasting quality standards throughout the world.
