Once and Forever Permanent Make-Up by Dawn

Once a cosmetologist Dawn decided to go down the road to permanent make-up. "My Dad started doing it in his tattoo shop over twenty-five years ago and thought that I would like doing it. He taught me almost ten years ago. I remember when he would get calls from women wanting to know how to do cosmetic tattooing and he was always willing to do whatever he could to help. Now, it seems anywhere you go they have a permanent make-up artist. These days they wouldn't thing of calling it tattooing, when in act, that is the only thing to call it. Some people get into all the glitter and shine and make it all sound much more then what it actually is. I do what I do and I'm good at it. Yes, I use pigments that are made for permanent make-up but other than that, there's not much difference. Other then knowing how to apply make-up, I learned from one of the guys that helped make all this what it is today. I do all my work form the tattoo shop in Clearwater, Florida. I think it's the best place you can have it done. It's cleaner then an y salon you can go into, and the health department makes sure of it. I did the salon thing and never felt that it was as clean as it should have been with all the hair and smells. Our shop is clean as they come. It has to be. I've had my daughter with me since she was little and the way kids get into things, I had to keep up on everything. We have a very friendly shop, where people don't have to worry about bringing their family. We just ask that you have someone to watch them and that they're well behaved. I have never had a woman feel uncomfortable being there. I have a station in the back where I do all my work so there isn't anyone around to bother us. When all is said and done the job is done and done well. I'm looking forward to meeting you...Dawn.
