ARTISTIC INK COSMETIC & MEDICAL TATTOO
Your brows do much more than “fill space” above your eyes. They:
-Balance your facial proportions
-Influence how rested, youthful, and expressive you look
-Draw attention to your eyes, not to gaps or asymmetry
For many women in Santa Rosa and across Sonoma County, brows are the number-one feature they struggle with: over-plucked tails, gaps, scars, or simply no longer growing the way they used to.
At Artistic Ink, brows are never an afterthought. They are a centerpiece of your permanent makeup plan, designed with care, intention, and technical mastery—so you wake up every day with brows that work for your life, not against it.

We use state-of-the-art equipment and material approved by the state of California for the procedure (before we start with the procedure, forms must be filled out as required by State law).
We start by cleaning the facial area properly. We will draw the shape of the eyebrows as agreed upon earlier, pluck your hair, only if needed, sterilize the surface, and then apply topical anesthetic (cream and/or gel).
We begin to insert the pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. When finished, the pigment will look 40 to 50% darker then the color you have chosen. Within the next 3 to 4 days it will fade and the color that you have chosen will appear. The treatment generally takes between 1 to 2 hours and should leave you with natural looking eyebrows.

It is recommended that you return for a second touch up within 6 to 10 weeks, It usually takes 30 to 60 minutes; we will be adding more pigment to the brow area. During the healing process, some parts of the skin in the brow area may not hold the pigment well and we may need to add more. This is completely normal and it is important to remember that everyone heals differently.
Permanent Eyebrows Explained
When most clients search for “microblading in Santa Rosa”, what they really want is:
Natural-looking brows
Long-lasting color
A technique that is safe for their skin
In my studio, I specialize in modern machine techniques:
Realistic Nano Brows – ultra-fine hair strokes using a PMU machine
Soft Powder Brows – soft, shaded brows that look like delicately applied makeup
Dual-Technique Brows – a strategic combination of Nano + Powder for dimension and density
These advanced methods are gentler than traditional microblading, especially on mature, sensitive, or previously tattooed skin, and are designed to age beautifully over time.
CONSULTATION & MAPPING
Before anything is done, we begin with an in-depth consultation—because your face deserves precision.
I listen closely to your goals, analyze your skin type, face structure, and natural hair growth, and map the ideal shape for your brows using advanced techniques. Every angle, arch, and length is designed to harmonize with your bone structure and expression.
This collaborative process ensures your brows feel like you, just elevated.
PROCEDURE
Once the design is approved, we use state-of-the-art, California-approved PMU equipment and top-quality pigments to begin the transformation.
The area is cleaned, numbed, and prepped with professional-grade products.
We begin your brow enhancement using the chosen technique: Nano, Powder, or Combo.
Your procedure takes around 2 to 2.5 hours.
Brows will appear darker immediately after, but will soften during healing.

HEALING & AFTERCARE
Over the next 7–10 days, you may experience:
Light flaking or mild dryness
Temporary dark–light–dark phases as the skin regenerates
You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions, including:
How to gently cleanse the area
What to avoid (sweating heavily, sun exposure, makeup directly on brows, swimming)
When you can return to your normal routine
Following aftercare closely maximizes color retention and keeps your skin safe.

A cosmetic tattooing machine used to gently implant pigment into the skin using a variety of fine needles. A fading (shading) technique is used to achieve a soft and smooth look, giving your eyebrows shade and fullness. It resembles what your brows look like when you fill them in with powder makeup.

This service is a combination of four techniques we do three different hair strokes with a microblade (hand tool) and tattoo machine to achieve more dimension on your brows, and in between, I add some shading effect for more density.


Microblading is one of the many styles of permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoos. It is a hand method technique that uses super tiny, fine and thin needles to lightly cut the skin. Once the fine cut has been made, pigment is then put in the area (like a little paper-cut which is then filled with pigment). It creates a hair stroke type effect that we call a simulated hair stroke. The microblading effect is so natural because the pigment is applied so close to the surface that the hair strokes will just appear natural looking. This tool differentiates Microblading to using a traditional cosmetic tattooing tool for pigmentation or permanent makeup. The result is very realistic, flawless and gives those fuller-looking eyebrows.
