If you love your job, is it even called work?

Hello and welcome! I am the owner and operator of Silver Lining Permanent Artistry.

I’ve spent the last 8 years in the cosmetic tattoo industry, creating bespoke, permanent makeup for my wonderful clients. Before breaking into PMU, I worked as a trained and qualified Beauty Therapist in the Beauty Therapy industry.

Over the years, I’ve seen trends come and go, but I’ve focused on mastering the techniques that truly stand the test of time. Through experience, I’ve learned which methods work best for different skin types, and I’ve perfected the use of pigments and needles to achieve the best long-term results tailored to each individual.

My passion and core beliefs have always been to offer my clients timeless permanent makeup—enhancing and accentuating their natural features, giving them a fresh perspective, and helping them achieve a youthful lift in their face. I want my clients to feel a renewed sense of confidence and view themselves in a new light, embracing the beauty they already have. This isn’t just about permanent makeup; it’s about creating a transformation that makes you feel empowered.

I strive to create an experience that’s comfortable and serene. During our time together, I want you to feel free to express your concerns, your vision, and your expectations. This process is a collaboration between you and I, where we meet in the middle, discuss achievable goals to create together. You deserve nothing less than the very best.

I cannot wait to work with you,

With Love,

Melissa
