Microblading, Cosmetic Tattooing, and Tattoo Removal in Sterling, VA Hi I'm Lauren and I'm the owner and cosmetic tattoo artist at Inner Beauty Ink!
My passion in life is helping others feel better about themselves. I'm blessed to be able to do this through the art of microblading, a natural looking, semi-permanent tattoo for the eyebrows! I have over 10 years of experience in the beauty industry as a professional makeup artist, esthetician, and cosmetic tattoo artist. As a former surgical technician, I understand the importance of maintaining

Meet our son Blake!
💙
He decided to make his entrance early, right after Christmas! Our hearts have already melted over this sweet handsome guy! God blessed us big time! I’m learning my new role as a mom and taking things day by day! It’s hard, but so rewarding too!
💙

For those that celebrate: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
✝️
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season! For us we are celebrating Christmas which is for the birth of Jesus! I’m always reminded at Christmas just how truly blessed we are. Much of that is perspective and intentionally finding all the great things to be thankful for. This year, we await the birth of our son! He has already changed my life in a magical way and I know it will be even more so when he’s born.
❤️
I hope you all enjoy your time with family and friends!

HEALED RESULTS
❤️
This beautiful client was in for her 6-week Touch Up session and her healed results after the initial session were wonderful! You can see how the shape incorporates her natural brow hair but improved the overall shape, symmetry, and balance of her brows. The color healed beautifully as well, blending right into her natural brow hair. At her touch up we just added a bit more color in the lighter areas!
❤️

I got to meet today!!! She’s so inspirational and has so much great info to share with our Women’s group! If you didn’t already know she’s an Olympic Shooter! So so cool!

BROW TATTOO PROGRESSION
😍
This shows the progression of a brow tattooing appointment! We start with cleaned fresh skin and brows. Then discuss goals and map out the design of the brow. This outline always looks a bit intimidating because it’s blocky and an outline versus the final softer result. But I like to keep my workspace clean of any foreign substance hence why I don’t draw strokes as my design. We then move on to the actual tattooing portion and we get the “after” result. Initially, the color always looks warmer or reddish. This is due to the skin being irritated and microscopic blood cells. During healing, the redness neutralizes! The goal is always to match the natural brow hair color.
😍

LIP BLUSH TATTOO
👄
With time, many of us lose the natural pigmentation in our lips (especially at the vermilion or outer border) or we just weren’t born with much pigment in the lips. This visually creates loss of definition, shape, and volume. While filler has its perks, sometimes the issue is color and not necessarily volume. Lip blushing is a great option to restore definition and shape!
👄
This beautiful client was nearly in tears after we completed her session because she thought she would be stuck with uneven pigmentation forever… but this natural looking lip tattoo restored her definition, shape, and most of all confidence!
👄
Fresh tattooing always looks more vibrant. As this heals the color will soften and look even more natural. Swelling varies per person and goes down within 24-48 hours.
👄

Happy Thanksgiving!!
🍁
Today is a day to reflect on all of the things we are grateful for! We are so thankful to our clients, family, and friends for the ongoing support and love! Inner Beauty Ink wouldn’t exist without you all!
🍁
I’m extremely grateful for my family, my baby boy, the daily blessing of food, shelter, clothing.. The list goes on and on!
🍁
What are you thankful for?

Today is Kimchi Day!!!
🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Many of you may know that I’m half-Korean! Kimchi is a main staple in Korean cuisine… It’s so cool to see a day dedicated to part of Korean culture! There are so many different types of kimchi and it has such a rich history in Korea!
🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷

REMOVAL AND CORRECTION JOURNEY
❤️
This very special client came to me looking to change the brow tattooing she had done with another artist years. Her brows were very saturated with shading (a solid fill of color) and I recommended removal since that is the only way to get a natural looking result after a brow is saturated with prior tattooing (either from shading or microblading being done too dark or densely).
❤️
She trusted my recommendation and the removal process and patiently completed 10 removal sessions.
❤️
Today, we got to finally redo her brows and we are both so happy with the results! The warmth/redness of the fresh color will neutralize during the healing process.
❤️
I’m so grateful to my clients who trust my expertise and are patient enough to complete the process! Thank you!!
❤️

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!
💙❤️💙❤️
Inner Beauty Ink proudly supports Veterans and wants to wish anyone who has served a Happy Veterans Day! We are so grateful for your service!
❤️💙❤️💙
A special thank you to my father who served as well! Happy Veterans Day Daddy!
🙂

BROWS
❤️
My beautiful client was looking for fuller brows with a natural look! We were able to also give her more symmetry too.
❤️

SALINE TATTOO REMOVAL
❌
Sometimes clients come to me seeking help with their brows and the only option is to remove or lighten work that was done previously. It’s not a quick process but it is very effective if the process is trusted and patience is practiced!
❌
This beautiful client has been with me since 2021 to remove her old microblading that was done elsewhere. The technique that was used wasn’t good so the tattooed areas were detectable and deep so they weren’t fading much either. Saline removal was the perfect solution and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Thank you for your trust!
❌

BROWS
❤️
Today I had another beautiful client that allowed me to use full face photos! I just love being able to showcase the difference that brows make!
❤️
Brows should be a subtle feature on your face that enhances your natural beauty and doesn’t distract from your beauty. Everyone should certainly express themselves how they want to and if that includes a bold and dramatic brow then awesome! But when it comes to cosmetic tattooing, I believe in brows being a balancing feature that enhances, not distracting.
❤️
I always customize the brow shape, size, design, technique and color to each individual. We are all unique and so are our brows!
❤️
Booking into March/April 2023.

LIP NEUTRALIZATION TATTOO
❤️
For some clients who have melanin rich lips, they desire a lighter color. This is achievable through the technique of lip blushing, but color theory is a extremely important. We neutralize the darker tones of the lip by using extremely warm colors to create a neutral lighter hue.
❤️
Melanin rich lips are BEAUTIFUL! There’s nothing “wrong” with them, but some clients desire a pinker or more n**e color. So Lip Neutralization can be a great option. This is an advanced technique and isn’t suitable for everyone. Consultations are required.
❤️

NATURAL LOOKING BROW TATTOOING
❤️
This beautiful client came to me looking for a solution for her brows that would create more symmetry and fullness while still looking natural! We used a combination technique with hair strokes and shading to create brows that are more symmetrical and full! It’s normal for freshly done brows to have a reddish hue which neutralize during healing.
❤️
Well designed brows have a powerful yet subtle impact on our overall look! I love how her eyes look bright and youthful because her brows are framing them with a nice arch and highlights her natural beauty!
❤️

RESTORATIVE LIP BLUSH TATTOO
👄
Lip Blush Tattooing is a soft sheer tattoo of the lips which enhances the natural shape of your lips. Over time, we can lose the natural pigment in our lips especially at the vermilion border (the outer lip line) which makes our lips appear thinner and undefined. While lip filler is a great option for contour and fullness, it doesn’t enhance the color. This service enhances your natural lips and can also be beautifully paired with lip filler!
👄

So blessed by the view everyday!
🍁🍁🍁
The colors of fall never get old! Growing up I never really experienced a change in season especially the beautiful colors of fall! It’s such a stunning display of God’s creation and I get to enjoy looking at it everyday at work!
🍁🍁🍁
What are you grateful for this season?
❤️

Today, I got to get dolled up for a maternity photoshoot with ! I highly recommend them for maternity photos! Lavelle is so so talented, kind, and makes you feel comfortable in your own skin! I would recommend this experience for any reason (not just maternity)! Getting professional photos done is such a great form of self-care! Having someone coach you with poses etc is comforting and when you get to see yourself in an artful image it’s so exciting!
❤️
On my way to I saw some spectacular Fall foliage and had to stop to get a photo! I just love Fall!
❤️
I hope everyone is having a great day!

SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION (SMP)
💈
SMP is a great technique for men and women! For this client, he came to me for help after trying everything for regrowth and concealment of the thinning in his crown area.
💈
SMP is a type of cosmetic tattooing that creates the illusion of hair follicles in the scalp which decreases the contrast between the hair and scalp, this making the hair look fuller. Since this is a tattoo in the skin, there are certain limitations to think about like saturation and longevity. Each case is different, so idea important to get a consultation and ensure that this technique will suit your needs.

EMERGENCY REMOVAL
🛑
I can’t stress enough how important it is to do research when choosing a cosmetic tattoo artist. This is a tattoo on your face and it’s important to take your time in deciding what artist to choose.
🛑
This beautiful client came to me in need of emergency removal after she had a bad experience elsewhere. Emergency removal is for extreme cases where the technique, color, and shape are poorly done. Emergency removal will pull a significant amount of color out of the skin as it heals. We already see a difference here due to softening and removing some of the dark scabbing, but when she returns for another treatment in 8 weeks, the difference will be huge!
🛑
It’s a traumatic experience to have bad cosmetic tattooing done. Contact me if you need help getting rid of bad work!
🛑

BROW REDESIGN
❤️
This lovely client came to me with a faded powder brow and wanted to refresh the color and was open to adjusting the shape.
❤️
Every artist is unique, so I suggested we create a bit more texture so that it blended with her natural hair better. We were both thrilled with the results 😊
❤️
In cases where there’s previous work from another artist, every client is different. Some MUST have removal/lightening first and once in a while we can work over what is already there.
❤️

Our BEST OF LOUDOUN banner arrived today! Yay! So so thankful to be one of the top 3!
❤️

CHOOSE YOUR ARTIST WISELY
🛑
Every artist is unique along with their techniques, eye for design, experience, customer service, personality, etc. The most important factor is to do research to include researching their style through their photos, reviews, word of mouth, consultations, etc. Pricing is important to all of us, but in this industry you usually will pay for what you get. To run a successful and safe business, it costs money. If you are getting a “deal” it’s because they are new and trying to gain experience and traffic, not licensed, or don’t use high quality products.
🛑
Removal is time consuming and expensive. Correcting poorly done brows that you got a deal on will end up getting much more expensive in the long run.
🛑
I am not in the business of convincing people to get these services done. I’m here to offer services, educate, and provide a high quality result to clients who trust me and seek my services out. I will never pressure you to do something that you aren’t already comfortable with.
