MEDICAL & COSMETIC TATTOOING
MEET THE TEAM
Grace
Grace is the Head of the Manchester clinic and for good reason! She brings over 14 years of beauty experience to her work, and it shows in every treatment she creates. Before moving into permanent makeup & Medical Tattooing, she spent 10 years as a Pro Artist for Charlotte Tilbury, working on global campaigns, masterclasses, and doing makeup backstage at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the runway models - an experience that strengthened her understanding of skin undertones, soft definition, natural enhancement, and the subtle details that can completely elevate someone's features.
With extensive colour theory and shade-development experience, Grace knows how to choose tones and shades that flatter your natural lip colour, heal evenly, and give that fresh, healthy finish clients love. Her eye for undertones means every lip blush shade is personalised - designed for your own complexion.
Not only that, Graces intense colour background puts her ahead of the game when it comes to Scar Camouflage. Her advanced colour training, allows her to identify tones precisely and create real life looking skin over the top of your scars to competely conceal them.
Grace blends her technical training with her artistic background to create results that look effortless.
If you're looking for a tattoo specialist who is a true perfectionist, truly understands tone, colour and shape - then Grace is your girl!
