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.
Kathy Shaw
Artist and Owner of Beauty Secrets Tattooing

My journey as a permanent makeup and medical tattoo artist began 16 years ago—as a client. Learning from an artist trained at one of Los Angeles’ most prestigious academies instilled in me the importance of continual education, advanced techniques, and a deep understanding of the science behind pigments and products. Today, that commitment allows me to provide safe, high-quality cosmetic and restorative tattooing procedures with precision and confidence. I approach every procedure with the same level of care, attention, and respect for safety that I would expect in a medical setting. This commitment has earned the trust of clients from all walks of life, including physicians and surgeons who have chosen me as their artist.
While technical expertise is essential, what truly defines my work is personal understanding. Having experienced the confidence and transformation aesthetic procedures can provide, I appreciate the trust, vulnerability, and emotions behind every client's journey.
Whether you are seeking permanent makeup, scar revision, or areola tattooing, my goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin through compassionate, personalized care.
Every client deserves respect, discretion, and exceptional attention to detail. That philosophy inspired the name Beauty Secrets Tattooing. While many view clients as marketing opportunities, I believe the person behind the results matters far more than the photograph. Your privacy, comfort, and trust will always take precedence.
Being entrusted with your journey is a privilege, and I am committed to delivering the highest standard of care, artistry, and professionalism every step of the way.
