I feel so blessed to have been able to take this course and truly believe paths are meant to be crossed for a reason. Shanelle was an amazingly, thorough and giving instructor and surrounds herself with such great women (Peeta). As a struggling post-postpartum mom with ocd, they somehow managed to not only make me confident in this new skill set , but confident in myself. I left feeling empowered and motivated. Really , a life-changing experience that I am so grateful for.

I can’t say enough good things about Shanelle! She is truly an inspiration and the value of her training course is incredible. She truly cares for her students to be successful and gives you everything you need. I have never met a woman like her who is all about building other women up. She has built an empire for herself and the Beauty Plug is a dream! I highly recommend her for training if you are considering joining the industry. She is truly among the best in the industry. She will make sure to answer any and all questions and truly goes into detail about how to run a successful business. Don’t look any further you NEED to take this paramedical tattooing certification course with Shanelle!

I had the absolute pleasure of participating in Shanelle's medical tattoo training this past weekend, and I can’t recommend it enough! The course focused on inkless/ camouflage scar and stretch mark revision techniques, and the level of detail and professionalism was beyond impressive.

Shanelle delivered everything with such clarity, intention, and expertise. The training was thorough, well-structured, and filled with valuable tools that will truly set us up for success. What stood out most was how hands-on and engaging the experience was — we didn’t just sit and take notes; we practiced, asked questions, and left feeling confident in our ability to deliver real results for our clients.

If you’re considering this profession, her is the course to take.

Thank you, Shanelle, for your passion and commitment to helping others grow!

If you’re lucky enough to come across Shanelle’s The Beauty Plug IG page and you get even an inkling of inspiration to contact her, DO IT! I’ve never felt the passion in instruction like it was with Shanelle. This is her passion and she passes it along to her students. When you take her class you leave feeling confident and ready to start your career because her method of instruction is clear.
She wants every question asked as she says “no question is a dumb question” and that hit home because my dad always said that. This class felt right and I know from her instruction and mentorship that I’ll be successful only when I try because these products and techniques learned in her 3 in 1 class prove their worth, they produce amazing results, and they change the lives of the clients.

It’s up to us to succeed and Shanelle gives you everything you need to make it happen- she gives you social media content to get you started. She provides templates for marketing and tracking sales. She’s available when you’re needing her. And she becomes your friend. Who else does that for you? She didn’t create a “follow up” class. Shanelle Lopez creates core memories.

Lastly, tell her your ‘why.’

I cannot express enough gratitude for my mentor Shanelle, who has been an absolute guiding light on my journey into paramedical tattooing. From day one—before I even officially started the class—she was there, answering questions, offering guidance, and helping me feel confident about taking this life-changing step. Her dedication to her students is unmatched; she genuinely cares about our success, not just as professionals but as individuals striving to create better futures for ourselves.

Her knowledge base is nothing short of impressive. She has a way of breaking down complex techniques and concepts into clear, actionable steps that make even the most challenging aspects of this field manageable. Every moment of her class was valuable, and her insights have continued to shape how I approach my craft and my business.

One of the most incredible aspects of her mentorship is the lifetime support she provides. Knowing that I can always turn to her for advice, feedback, or encouragement is priceless. This ongoing relationship has been a game-changer as I navigate the challenges of starting my business.

Thanks to her coaching—and a lot of hard work and determination on my part—I’m proud to say that I’m building a successful business at just 25 years old. Her mentorship has given me the tools and confidence to achieve not only professional success but also the financial freedom I’ve dreamed of.

To anyone considering this career path: learning from her isn’t just an education—it’s the start of a transformational journey. I’m forever grateful for her belief in me, her unwavering support, and the incredible impact she’s had on my life.

Thank you for everything Shanelle❤️
