Artist and Owner of I Woke Up Like This
Permanent makeup and paramedical tattooing is more than my career, it’s something I have dedicated years to refining through education, hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for helping people feel their best.
My work is centered around natural-looking results, precision, and creating treatments that are tailored to each individual client. I believe permanent makeup should enhance your features in a way that feels effortless, balanced, and authentic to you.
Along with working with clients, I also train and mentor other artists within the industry through hands-on permanent makeup and paramedical tattoo education. I’m passionate about continued learning, proper technique, safety, and helping raise the standard within the industry.
What I love most about this work is combining artistry with procedures that can make a lasting impact on how someone feels about themselves. There’s nothing better than seeing a client leave feeling more confident than when they walked in. One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been the relationships I have built and continue to build with my clients; I truly value the trust people place in me. I strive to create an experience where every client feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely supported throughout the entire process.
Kath
Artist and Owner of Beauty Secrets Tattooing
I am the owner and lead specialist behind Beauty Secrets Tattooing, but what truly defines me is not simply my experience as an artist—it’s my first-hand experience as a patient and client. From scar revision and permanent makeup to corrections and removals, I understand the emotional journey behind every procedure in a way that only someone who has experienced it personally can. Every treatment I perform is guided not only by advanced education and technical skill, but by genuine empathy, understanding, and respect for the trust my clients place in me.
My journey with scars and restorative procedures began over 25 years ago, while my career as a permanent makeup and paramedical tattoo artist began 16 years ago. As both a patient and a client, I learned about scarring from surgeons and permanent makeup from an artist trained at one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious academies. She instilled in me the importance of continual education, uncompromising safety, advanced techniques, and a thorough understanding of pigment science, skin, and the products used throughout every procedure. That foundation continues to shape my practice today and allows me to provide the highest standard of cosmetic and restorative tattooing possible.
I approach every procedure with the same level of care, precision, and professionalism I would expect as both a patient in a medical setting and a client in a luxury salon. This philosophy has earned the trust of people from all walks of life, including physicians and surgeons. While many artists focus on creating photographs, I believe the person behind the results will always matter more. Protecting my clients’ privacy has become one of the cornerstones of my practice, and that commitment is the inspiration behind the name Beauty Secrets Tattooing.
Whether you are seeking permanent makeup, scar revision, areola tattooing, scalp micropigmentation, corrective tattooing, or tattoo removal, my goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that helps you feel confident, comfortable, and empowered. Every procedure is performed with compassion, honesty, and meticulous attention to detail, because helping you love the skin you’re in is about far more than achieving beautiful results—it’s about restoring confidence that lasts.
