Crafting Perfection, One Follicle at a Time

As President, Chief Developer, and International Grand Master Educator at Micropigmentation Academy, Anthonye’s innovations have redefined the SMP landscape.

A Board-Certified Grand Master Trainer and the USA Governor for the Association of International PMU Artists Inc. since 2020, Anthonye’s impact stretches globally, having trained countless students in the art and science of micropigmentation. His journey into SMP was deeply personal—driven by his own experience with hair loss and a desire to push the boundaries of what was possible in the industry.

Crafting Perfection, One Follicle at a Time
At the heart of True Follicle lies a simple yet profound idea: to create a needle that replicates the exact look of a hair follicle, delivering hyper-realistic results. This vision was realized through Anthonye’s relentless passion and extensive experience. When the SMP industry was still emerging, there were no tools specifically designed for this work. Faced with this challenge, Anthonye began experimenting with various available needles, but none achieved the desired replication of a hair follicle.

Determined to find a solution, he conceived the world’s first 2RL needle—a revolutionary two-pin configuration that perfectly replicates the look of a natural hair follicle. The journey to bring this product to life was no small feat. After countless trials and a search for a manufacturer willing to take on the challenge, Anthonye finally succeeded in developing the ideal tool. Through rigorous testing on different canvases and perfecting every detail, the 2RL needle was born—changing the future of SMP.

Today, Anthonye holds multiple patents pending for his innovative tools and continues to lead the industry in SMP innovation. His specialties include Scalp and Areola Micropigmentation, Scar Camouflage, and Plasma Skin Tightening. As a lifelong artist with a passion for Realism, Surrealism, and Abstract art, Anthonye merges his artistic and technical expertise to craft hyper-realistic, cutting-edge results.
