SERVICES
FINE LINE/TINY TATTOOS
Tiny Tattoos and Fine Line Tattoos are simple, dainty, playful and can also be sentimental. Usually done with finer needles, often a single needle, they create delicate and intricate permanent artwork. I work directly with you to make your vision come to life!
LASH LIFT AND TINT
Lash Lifting (also known as lash perming) is a procedure that curls and lifts your natural lashes lasting for 6-8 weeks. It is a natural look and when adding tint and/or mascara, can greatly enhance your lashes. Lash Tinting is coloring the natural lashes with a black coloring dye to give the lashes a bolder, darker appearance.
WHAT IS BROW PERMANENT MAKEUP?
There are a couple different options when it comes to permanent makeup for your eyebrows; microblading, powder brows and/or a combination of the two together. How we decide which is best for your brows is with a complimentary consultation discussing your current natural brow shape and color, skin type and desired outcome.
MICROBLADING
It is a procedure that creates very fine hair-like strokes with a small tool made of several tiny needles that deposits semi-permanent pigment into the skin. This service is for those looking to add definition to their brows. It is not suitable for oily skin. Touchups are required at a year to a year and a half.
POWDER BROWS
Also known as shading, ombre brows, microshading. Becoming the more popular service, is a procedure that creates a makeup-like look with tiny dots creating a stipple/dotting effect. This makeup look-alike can range from very soft and light to a more dramatic, dense look. This service is for every skin type being that it is the gentlest technique. Powder brow lasts longer than microblading, touchups being at around two to four years on average.
COMBINATION BROWS
Combination Brow- bringing both microblading and shading together creates a combination brow. This service allows for both hairstrokes and a makeup look to come together to make the brows have dimension with blending the two techniques for a real natural look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Permanent Makeup and Tiny Tattoo Questions
WHAT IS THE TINY TATTOO PROCESS?
Before your appointment, we work together directly to refine your design ideas. Inspiration photos are welcomed!
Day of your appointment, we go over placement and sizing. A stencil is placed on the desired location to ensure your happiness. Pricing starts at $60 plus tax. Price and appointment time are both dependent on tattoo design and size.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF PERMANENT MAKEUP LIKE?
We start with a complimentary consultation prior to the two-session service. The consultation can be done in person or virtual. Once we decide which service is right for you, we set up the first session which is 2-3 hours. This includes pictures, mapping out your brows, going over the mapping, making sure we both agree on the shape, then the actual brow procedure and discussing aftercare. Session two is required and is done 6 weeks after the first which is a perfecting session touching up the color and to make sure we both love the shape, color and how they healed. Healing takes about 10-14 days.
HOW LONG DOES PERMANENT MAKEUP LAST?
Each person and service is different though, on average, a touchup is done between a year and two years depending which service you receive.
DOES IT HURT?
Everyone’s pain tolerance is different.
For tiny tattoos, certain areas are more sensitive than others. I've been told I have a light hand :)
For permanent makeup, a numbing agent is used throughout the brow service to ensure you are as comfortable as possible!
