Hi Anonymous,
The NYTs article I researched had this paragraph.
"Elizabeth Finch-Howell, the owner and founder of Derma International, a permanent cosmetics manufacturer in Kempton, Pa., believes a minimum of 100 hours is enough. (She got a tattoo that matched her skin tone to cover up a port-wine colored birthmark on half of her face, performing the procedure herself because “I didn’t trust anyone else,” she said.)
This is her link

I would contact her and see what she recommends. If your port wine stain is on your face then like her, I would be very cautious as one could end up with a result that is more undesirable if the skills of the technician are not exceptionally high. That would be most unfortunate so really do some research before you proceed.
Also, I mentioned in my article an organization that provides certification so who ever you go see should be able to show that they have met high standards of training.
