The dog and coffee business have my attention full time but… as an artist I still do what I love! Sometimes I have a strong desire to tattoo someone’s face.😝Needing to put myself in that element is almost like a craving. I love that taking the pressure of it being ”my job” away…allows me to be selective with the people I choose to work with, how I spend my time, and what technique I use. I jump right into the zone and it’s truly fun again. 🥹🥰

Anytime I work over another artist work it is considered correction work because it’s not mine orginally. I usually try to avoid this because there are things I would or wouldn’t do that causes me to have to reconstruct my design and how I execute my technique. However, this client had previous powder brow work. She always wanted the microblading strokes orginally but was talked out of it by her previous artist and was very go with the flow. So she didn’t care how I did them and put a lot of trust in my hands. Fortunately, combination brow technique is my favorite style so that’s what I gave her! That includes majority powder brow using a pmu tattoo machine then we went in with manual microblading strokes enhancing the front where there was sparse areas to create a natural depth. We boosted the old color by adding a warm shade to neutralize the ashy tone it had healed too and then adding that same warm shade to make an espresso color that would closely match her natural hairs. 💋

11 days away from my 1 week return! I sure do miss slaying brows, tatting lips, and tightening that skin with my plasma pen. Most of all, I miss all of your beautiful faces.

Over the years, I have gotten very selective with my clientele. I used to take anyone and everyone that came to me. What I realized is that every artist has a style and every client has a preference. Therefore, you cannot possibly be the best artist match for anyone and everyone. When you are not a good match your visions, ideas, and the results will not align resulting in dissatisfaction for both of you…& that’s never a good feeling. 😢

BUT when you are a match, when you find the right person- you trust them. You trust their creativity, their skill, their judgment, their plan…you trust their work…their art. 👩‍🎤 That relationship stirs up an exciting feeling for the both of you. When it is all said and done that feeling of satisfaction “ah, I’m so happy I did this;” turns into a feeling that is totally transformational from the inside-out. That right there…that’s how we both boost our confidence. ✅
Now, taking reservations this month the week of May 22-29 🗓

Hi Meraki babes! I know it’s been a while but let me explain…I sort of live a double life as a permanent makeup artist and a professional dog mom…but most of you already know that. For the last 6 weeks, I have been on my pawternity leave with the intent to upgrade and move the studio location all while welcoming and caring for my fur babies. As you can see, I have had my hands completely full!

Originally, I had planned on returning full time right after Easter. What I have realized on my leave is that being able to take a step back and fully focus on 1 business at a time has brought me great success but even greater clarity on what I am most passionate about. With that said, when one is doing what the heart is truly called to do—one also feels the most joy and fulfillment. So although I am fully pursuing what really sets my heart on fire… ❤️‍🔥 I am returning with limited availability each month because making you feel more beautiful…and making my students feel more confident in the power— to make you feel more beautiful is also more rewarding than I can put into words.

There are so many special moments for me when you sit in my chair that I am simply not willing to give up…the tear jerking moments, when I hand you the mirror to see my artwork on your beautiful face that take your breathe away..those are the moments that I live for. 🥺😍😭🙏

Thank you to each and every single one of you who continue to support my beauty artist journey with every single appointment but even more gratitude to those of you who support my entrepreneurial journey with your patience and understanding.

I am excited to share all things new in the studio coming to you! I have found new skills, techniques, and ways I can help you as a beauty client, student and fellow entrepreneur and/or pmu artist!

Stay tuned for more Meraki updates and those of you who have memberships, packages, gift cards and reservation deposits secured are automatically deemed priority scheduling clients.

Please DM if you have any questions or need to book as soon as possible! Otherwise, I am now taking appointments for JUNE and working on the next class schedule so I don’t want you to miss out! 🌞

TESTIMONY TUESDAY! 💕✨
There’s nothing I love more than to make my clients happy especially when it’s your first visit! Story shoutouts mean more then you know! ☺️☺️
