EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL
In July of 1985, I began months of intensive training (in the application of body art), as an apprentice to several experienced tattoo artists. My artistic ability as a portrait artist, (and my background as a professional makeup artist), were obvious assets. Equipment and techniques were developed and refined to fit the specific needs of the eventual transition to a new and exciting idea; "MICROPIGMENTATION"!
Knowledge of equipment, sterilization, color blending and artistry are not skills that can be acquired overnight, in a week or in a month.
Throughout the years of experience as a pioneer of micropigmentation, I have developed techniques that bring this art form to the forefront of the new millennium.
Cosmetic tattooing can be so subtle that your family and friends will not know unless you choose to tell them, or so dramatic that additional makeup is unnecessary.
WAKE UP TO MAKE UP MAGIC
With the aid of professional makeup artistry, brow and lip shape are meticulously determined; color is custom blended for your particular hair skin and eye color and gently applied with the most modern equipment available.
