Rouge Ink

The perfect blush pink 💞🌸💞

The perfect blush 🌸🌺🌸 Loved creating this beautiful custom blush pink tone for Ang, who is one of the best injectors in Vancouver 💋 For this set I used Aileen Wuornos and Pink Panther by @worldfamousink. Two of my absolute favorite colors 💞 + a tiny bit of Mars Sand Red for a touch more of an earth tone. I did this set as a demo for a student a while back 👩🏼‍🎓Thanks for journeying with me as I show you more archival works I’ve been sitting on 🥰 #LipBlush #LipTattoo #PMULips #PerfectLips

A seed quietly bursts through the soil 🌱 and that’s often the hardest part of its process…

I’ve been quieter in this space lately — as I mentioned recently, circumstances have kept me from the studio. And I didn’t want to mislead anyone by posting while my books are closed.

But the thing is… Permanent Makeup is woven into my identity. It’s with me every day in some form, whether or not I’m doing it. ❤️‍🔥
(And yes, that does mean I’m doing people’s brows in my head… constantly 😅)

I realized that a near-decade of work doesn’t disappear when you step back from the chair… It just finds a new way to be expressed 🪷

After thousands of hours…
And thousands of faces…
I aim to shift into a new flow with my media, and evolve how I share this craft with you all 🌀💫 🫶🏽

You’ll be seeing…
❣️more archival work from the last decade,
❣️technical breakdowns,
❣️the thinking behind design decisions,
❣️slices of life 🍰🥰
❣️and a real look at what advanced PMU artistry actually requires 🪄

I’ve also long been developing online trainings for working artists who want to go deeper 🔎🔮 …more on that soon!

Books remain closed for now. But I’ll be alive here with you in a different way, until I can get back in the studio… 🙏🏽🕊️
…and love on all your beautiful faces 🎨🤍✨

Blessed be for rollin’ with me💋

Hi 👋🏽 some updates, and a belated Nowruz mobarak ❤️‍🩹

Celebration wasn’t exactly the sentiment this year, but Nowruz was still ours. Ancient, sacred, and everlasting, even in the face of unimaginable grief.

There are seasons that ask everything of you and give very little back. This has been one of them.

I’ve been navigating circumstances outside of my control that have temporarily prevented me from working — not by choice. With that said, I’ve been quieter than usual.
What I can say is that I’m still here, still devoted to this craft and to the community I’ve spent nearly a decade building. 🤍

Yesterday I heard from family in Tehran for the first time in 29 days. To anyone who has loved ones in places where safety is not guaranteed, where freedom is being fought for breath by breath… I see you. I am with you. This is not political for me. It is love. It is family. It is home.

To all of you who have thought of me, who have reached out… thank you.
To all of you reading this, thank you for being here.

In the coming while I’ll be sharing photos of work from 2025 I’ve been sitting on, and updates here as things unfold.

You’ll hear from me first when books reopen.
For now they remain closed… and I truly have never looked forward to working so much in my life ❤️‍🔥

I’m deeply grateful for your patience and grace.

With all of me,
Ro

🧿🙏🏽🤍
