The minute I walked into Shauna's studio, my nervousness about having something so permanent tattooed on my face completely vanished. Her professionalism, knowledge, and warmth, the artistic ambiance, and her obvious creative gifts and technical experience, totally alleviated any fears I had about having my eyebrows, as well as a scar on my nose tattooed.
The results----FANTASTIC-----I couldn't be happier, and highly recommend Shauna to anyone wishing any of the services she provides.

Thanks Shauna, for your time and patience with my many questions and concerns. I never felt hurried or coerced into something I didn't want to do. It was a great experience!

Since I was 14, I’ve never let anyone touch my brows except myself - I’m a stickler for detail and brows are my obsession. My brows went through so many different phases – thin and skinny to super full and thick. I spent at least half the time I took to do my makeup on my brows alone – that’s a full 15 minutes. It came to a point where I would be late for appointments because I needed my brows to look just right.
So imagine my relief when I saw a write up on Shauna and The BeautyInk Gallery. It was a big leap of faith for me to entrust my brows into someone else’s hands, but I’m so glad I chose Shauna because her hands are more than capable of producing beautiful, natural results. She took the time to discuss everything brow-related with me and helped me visualize what the final result would look like. She was down to earth, patient and very realistic about the results I would get with this procedure, so much so that I decided to get my top eyeliner done as well.
The procedure is not very painful at all, and completely worth any discomfort. After my third and final touch up, I cannot be more pleased with my brows – they are gorgeous, in just the right curve, proportion and colour; and…can I say it…darn sexy. I seriously don’t need to do anything to my brows in the morning – it’s shaved 15 minutes off my routine, leaving me with so much more time on my hands. Shauna is amazing at what she does – stunning results, amazing service. What are you waiting for?

Ever since I can remember looking in the mirror it was extremely hard, especially without make-up. Unfortunately I was not blessed with good eyebrows, in fact I was given barley any brows at all. Subjected for the last ten years to the use of a makeup pencil.... I took everywhere with me!

Summer became my worst nightmare. Any activities such as swimming, dancing or any sports I feared. Sadly enough this was my way of life, until I met Shauna. Shauna introduced me to the wonderful world of permanent make up. Sceptical at first, like I have been in the past, after talking to Shauna I was convinced that she was the one who would give me my confidence back.

I took the plunge and she worked magic on my precious face. The end result was better than I expected.

Now when I look in the mirror without make up on I see the beautiful women I was meant to see.

Thank you Shauna.... I am forever grateful!

Love Amber.

"Outstanding work!

After going to 4 different permanent makeup "artists" in the USA and leaving with sub par results, I came to Shauna in Vancouver for some corrective work on my brows. She took her time without rushing to create the right shape for my face and discuss the process. She then put her years of extensive experience as an outstanding makeup artist to work with her wonderful creative eye and attention to detail! I wouldn't go anywhere or recommend anyone else!! Fabulous brows!

Shauna also corrected the horrible eyelash extension work I had done in the Arizona. She removed the incorrectly applied lashes and meticulously applied new lashes which are absolutely gorgeous!! As I live in Arizona my next trip up will be in four weeks for my fill. Her work is well worth the flight to get such great results!

Thanks girlfriend...I'll be back!! :-) "

All the best!

Having someone tattoo my face was concerning and the stories out there of work-gone-bad left me feeling uncertain about the whole tattooed make-up concept. However, the frustration of taming and colouring my linear-challenged eyebrows each day was only going to get worse when I had to start getting up early for a new job.

When Shauna suggested doing my brows, I knew she would do an amazing job. I've known Shauna for almost 15 years, and the detail and perfection she puts forth in all she does I knew would also been seen in her tattoo work. I had, and continue to have, 100% trust and confidence in Shauna's workmanship. The colour Shauna created for me is perfect and the brow shape she suggested, ideal. It makes me smile when I tell people I got my brows tattooed and they are all shocked that you can't tell, that it looks so natural. I can't help but point out, isn't that the point?

I would, and do, advise anyone who wants to enhance their look and cut down their time for getting ready to pay a visit to Shauna and let her work her wonders. They'll be amazed...and so will you. I certainly was!

Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the result. This is
exactly what I was looking for. You are very talented. I will
definitely recommend your artistic work to whom ever I know. I am glad
that I was watching BT in the morning of Sept 2, 08 and saw you on TV.

Once again YOU are fantastic. Thank you so much:-)

Wish you all the best and success,

Love, Mo

"Thank you so much for the wonderful work you did on my eyes, brows and lips.

I was very impressed by your professionalism, cosmetic artistry and knowledge of makeup techniques. Your work looks extremely natural, makes my eyes pop and has even balanced out my asymmetry. I spend much less time getting ready for the world or worrying that my eyeliner might run in the rain.

I would definitely recommend your services to everyone who wants to look and feel better while saving time and efforts doing make up every day!"

"As a full time working mom of two, I have little to no time for myself let alone make up. Having permanent liner has made such a change for me, for the better! Even if I throw on a coat of mascara and some lip gloss on the morning, I feel done up. Friends have noticed that something is different, but they don't know what it is. The look subtle because that is how I wanted it to be. However I feel fresher and more alive with my new look.

Thank you Shauna"

Being as fair as I am, I always looked "tired or something" according to
friends and family. This was especially true during allergy season when
wearing any makeup at all only irritated my eyes further. I cannot tell you how my permanent eyeliner has not only changed the way that others see me, but the way I see myself. After two months, I still do a double take when I look in the mirror.

I love the convenience and the way I look, but mostly I love the way I feel about myself. I have a greater sense of self-confidence which has spilt into my professional life. It's fun watching people try to figure out what's different about me. I still can't get over how relaxing and painless the procedure was, and it was delivered with patience and professionalism. I asked for "subtle, yet effective" and that's exactly what you delivered.

You truly are an Artist! I'll recommend your services to my future Brides and anyone else who will listen.
I cannot thank you enough!

Being so blond, I have never had eyebrows. They were always so thin and blond, nothing to help frame my face. So that Saturday morning when you did your magic, I was so hopeful I was doing the right thing? No one at work noticed anything different about me.

Just LOVING my new eyes!!! I have never been so ecstatic about waking up and rushing than I am now. I totally forget most of the time to do my eyes now because I think they are done! This has been the most amazing and "Daring" thing I've ever done and I can't believe it "still" to this day, that I tattooed my eyes!!! Scary or WHAT!!

I love it and can't say enough about how fabulous I feel having it done. My girls are still in shock that there "Mother" did this!

Thanks Shauna for making me a "Daily" Beauty!!!

I followed your after care instructions, keeping everything moist, had a hard time at that because I stand over a dye pot most days with chemicals and crap floating in the air, but really no problems. I can't wait for you to see them again because they are so perfect!

The one woman I work most closely with and who is also a good friend said "did you have your eyebrows done?" I had discussed it previously with her, and then she said "really, really great shape!" She is a good friend and wouldn't hold back if there was anything that wasn't good. Full approval from my closest friend!

Also I would like to mention the reason I chose you for this work. You came highly recommended to me through co workers in the film industry. I know you have painted on hundreds or possibly more, many more, eyebrows on all sorts of different faces. You instinctively knew what my face needed because you are an artist.

I'm really happy! Yes, we started really light, but still I now have eyebrows.

It's big!

Thank you.

"I had the pleasure of having permanent eye liner done from Shauna.
I was worried about what was going to happen and I could not decide which colour would look good, but with Shauna's detailed explanation on her procedure and her knowledge of what colour to choose, I was confident that Shauna would do a great job!
Sure enough I am extremely happy with the end results, I feel that my eyes look more defined and brighter. Shauna, thank you for your professionalism and your caring before and after your procedure, I can't wait to forward your information to all my friends...."
