Your well-deserved permanent makeup is an investment towards the best version of yourself. Whether you are a mom on the go or a busy young professional, Modern Ink has cosmetic tattooing solutions to help you live your dream life without the hassle and maintenance of everyday makeup applications.

Permanent makeup not only frees up your time, but it also ensures that you have consistently applied makeup that doesn’t fade, wear away, or rub off so you can confidently put your best face forward. When it comes to applying your makeup once and for all, you can trust Stephanie at Modern Ink to get it just right.

 
Our mission is to make sure you walk out of our door with the best version of yourself knowing you have done something extraordinary that will continue to last.

Brows

Modern Ink offers three permanent brow treatments- micro/nanoblading, powder brow, and combination which is the best of both techniques- to achieve a beautifully natural yet defined brow. Each service is completely customizable and can look as natural and light, or as dark and dramatic as you prefer. The effects will be waterproof, smudge-proof, beautiful brows!

  • Since recommended techniques vary from person to person, we will begin your appointment with a consultation to discuss your skin type, lifestyle, and the desired shape/color of your eyebrows. This will give me the opportunity to answer any questions or concerns you have. Next, we will stencil out the shape so you can see how it will look before we begin, removing excess hair and making adjustments for symmetry.

    After the initial session, you’ll return for a follow-up session in 4 to 8 weeks at which the technician will perfect the look. Additional strokes can then be added and tweaking the shape of your brows if necessary. This is known as the perfecting touch up.

    Please be prepared that eyebrow color intensity will be significantly darker and sharper within the first few days of the procedure, but fade significantly (approximately 30-50%) over the healing period (4+ weeks).

    Permanent make up is a multiple-step appointment process. For best results, new clients are advised to book an enhancement touch up. This second session should be scheduled 4-8 weeks after the initial procedure to perfect the shape, color, and density of the brows. Some may choose to have additional Touch-Ups in the future to achieve desired results. Touch ups are priced separately.

    To read more about how the Brow techniques work, check out our FAQs. To learn more about aftercare, see our instructions.

    Please note- working over existing permanent makeup applied by another artist is considered a cover up, not a new service or touch up. This is an automatic $100 additional fee and subject to other charges if color correction or shaping correction is needed. Please disclose in your booking comments if you have existing permanent makeup.

Lip Blushing

Similar to other permanent makeup services like brow microblading and tattooed eyeliner, lip blushing allows you to wake up with picture-perfect, beautifully flushed lips without applying a stitch of lipstick, balm, or gloss.

  • Lip blushing is a great alternative to fillers or surgery, or can be done in conjunction with these procedures. Many of our clients do both to maximize the effectiveness of lip enhancement treatments.

    Whether it is the lip design, shape or color you are interested in, Stephanie can help. Lip blushing is achieved with a natural blending method into the lips so there is no line of demarcation.

    This is completed in two sessions, each 6-8 weeks apart. Touch up is priced separately.

✦ Eyes

Permanent Eyeliner can enhance or intensify eye color and make eyes appear younger and brighter. No more raccoon eyes on a hot summer day!

  • For those who like a more natural look, your eyeliner tattoo can be deposited along the base of your lashes, making it appear as though you have fuller, thicker lashes.

    For those who like a more dramatic look, Stardust Eyeliner is a thicker bolder makeup like style. Depending on your requested results, your artist will help you achieve your desired look.

    Expect moderate swelling, usually one to three days following the eyeliner service. While healing, the eyeliner tattoo will look spotty. This is due to healing skin regeneration. Healed eyeliner will fade up to 50%. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired results.
