In today's podcast episode, cosmetic tattooer Syd Silveous tackles the topic of Trichotillomania - a disorder defined by the recurrent, irresistible urges to pull out body hair. Syd walks us through her experience with the stress disorder as well as how PMU and cosmetic tattooing can help those impacted by it. Tune in :) Meet Syd: I have been a cosmetic tattooer for 2 years a have loved every second of it!  I implement both machine a microblading techniques. I specialize in eyebrows, eyeliner, freckles/beauty marks a now scalp micropigmentation.   I got into this industry not knowing a thing, all I knew was I wanted to give the same confidence to people as it brought me when I had my eyebrows done.  I have struggled with a disorder called Trichotillomania since my early teens. It caused me to pull my hair from my eyebrows a eyelashes until I was bald due to anxiety a stress.  With every effort to stop but also tired of drawing my eyebrows on every day, I discovered cosmetic tattooing.  If anyone knows what it’s like to not have hair but to want it so badly a then to have it tattooed on, knows how amazing a transformative it can be!! This industry called upon me so I could help people like me a to give them a little bit of light in their life.  I will never look back.  If I can help, I will. My purpose on earth is to help people however I can. This is the start.” Check her out on instagram: @sydthisisprettyinink To learn more about the American Academy of Micropigmentation visit our website: www.micropigmentation.org
