A huge thank you to The Keys Weekly for featuring me and sharing a little bit about the work I’m so passionate about🤍

So grateful for the opportunity to bring 3D Ar**la Restoration to our Florida Keys community🩷 This has been a goal and dream of mine for a long time!

BRING ME YOUR OLD MICROBLADING👏

Faded. Patchy. Uneven. Lost its shape. Maybe it just doesn’t feel like you anymore.

This is where I come in.

Corrective brow work is one of my favorite things to do. With the right technique, color correction, and a carefully redesigned shape, old microblading can often be transformed into soft, beautiful brows that look fresh and intentional again.

Old Microblading cover up for the beautiful Bride to be👰🏻‍♀️

She came to me with previous Microblading that she wanted corrected before her wedding day. I worked with what was already there, refined the shape, corrected the old work, and created brows that feel softer, more balanced, and much more natural.

Corrective brow work is never one-size-fits-all. It takes an understanding of color, existing pigment, skin, shape, and how everything will heal — and transformations like this are exactly why I love what I do.

Now she gets to head into her wedding festivites with total brow confidence🥂💍

Every drawing taught me something…✨

My mentor had me put my tattoo machine down and pick up a pencil.

The assignment? Draw. Again and again.

These 50 black-and-gray ar**la studies taught me so much more than how to draw. They taught me to see light, shadow, depth, texture, and the tiny details that create realism.

Today, I reached a milestone I’m incredibly proud of—I graduated to color studies. 🎨

I’m sharing this because I want people to see that behind every skilled artist are hours of practice and a commitment to never stop learning.

This journey is about so much more than creating realistic artwork. It’s about preparing to help breast cancer survivors and others feel like themselves again through restorative tattooing. ❤️Thank you to my friends and clients who have donated a picture for me to recreate❤️

If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quiet on social media lately, it’s for a good reason🤍
Behind the scenes, I’ve been doing what I love most—working with my clients, continuing my education, and pouring countless hours into my ar**la tattoo apprenticeship.
Creating meaningful work takes time. So does practicing, drawing, learning, and refining my craft. While I love sharing photos and videos, creating content can easily become a full-time job in itself. Right now, I’d rather spend that time becoming an even better artist for the people who trust me with their faces, their confidence, and now, their healing journeys.
I’ve always believed that great work speaks louder than constant posting.
Thank you to every client who continues to support me, recommend me, and trust me. I may not always be the loudest on social media, but I’m here, I’m working hard, and I’m incredibly grateful.
I can’t wait to share more with you when the time is right.

WHY are annual color boosts important?
Because Cosmetic Tattooing softens with time — and maintenance keeps your results looking fresh, balanced, and beautifully healed✨

Sun, skincare, lifestyle, and natural skin regeneration all affect healed pigment over the years.

A yearly to bi yearly boost helps:
* Restore vibrancy
* Enhance definition
* Maintain softness

It extends the life of your results so that you can maintain your investment.
