With over a decade of experience in cosmetics and makeup artistry, I decided to combine my love for tattoos with the passion for making people feel confident. My husband and I decided to follow our dream of opening a tattoo studio back in 2021 and we have been growing ever since! I am the only cosmetic tattoo artist in our studio and offer services ranging from temporary laminations and tinting to semi permanent cosmetics. I take pride in my attention to detail and the personalized care I provide during each appointment. I have a passion for learning and have always enjoyed helping people feel confident in their own skin!
