Cosmetic Tattoos by Jess

I can’t get enough of MÒR ☕️🍵🤍

Come try their seasonal drinks for the soft opening today until 1 PM, or until supplies last, or come by tomorrow for their grand opening and a full menu. And while you’re here, don’t forget to stop by and say hi, you can find me in Suite 8!

One thing about me is that if I can’t easily find a place or figure out the parking… ya girl is going home, sorry 🤣

We’re still working on signage + getting our directory up, so in the meantime, don’t get frustrated — here’s your guide to finding me 🤎

Take the Old River/Cove exit and follow along with the video.

Once you arrive, you’ll see a big white house that’s been renovated into salon suites. Find the nearest parking spot and head inside.

Push the front door in — yes, it’s heavy. No, it’s not locked!

Walk through the hallway on the left, keep going until you reach the common area, and find yourself a seat with a view.

Suite 8 is right next to the common area — hi, you’re here! 👋🏼

And soon, your post appointment routine can include a little coffee or matcha from MÒR, coming this October ☕️🍵

Save this for your appointment so you don’t have to figure it out when you get here 🤍

Small tattoos with big meanings 🤎

Heart lockets are such a fun one. They’re the perfect mix of dainty + whimsical while still being incredibly personal. There's so many ways to make it your own with portraits, birth flowers, paw prints, sparkles, tiny symbols.

But here’s the thing about small tattoos: the smaller we go, the more selective we have to be with the details. There’s only so much information we can fit into a tiny space while still giving every line enough room to heal and age well.

Also small doesn’t always mean quick! Tiny, detailed tattoos still require careful placement, precision, and intention. Sometimes the smallest pieces are the ones that have me slowing down the most.

These are things my clients are always surprised to find out I offer. Consider this my “wait… you do that too?” list. 👀

★ Lobe piercings for minors ages 6+
I offer select piercing services for kiddos starting at age 6. A parent/guardian must be present, and proper identification/documentation is required!

★ FREE virtual consultations
Not sure what service is right for you? Have questions that feel like too much for a text? You can book a free virtual consultation directly through my website. We can actually sit down, talk through your ideas, and figure out the best plan before you commit to an appointment. In person consultations can also be booked online (but are not free).

★ Red ink spot testing
Red pigments are known to be more likely to cause sensitivities or allergic reactions in some people. If you’re considering red in your tattoo, especially if you’ve never had red pigment before, I offer a small spot test beforehand so we can see how your skin responds before incorporating it into a larger piece.

★ Jewelry changeouts
You don’t need a brand new piercing to come see me! If you have a healed piercing and want to switch up your jewelry, need help getting a tricky piece in or out, or just want someone to do it for you, you can book a jewelry changeout.

★ VIP / after-hours appointments
Can’t make my normal schedule work? Select after hours and Sunday appointments may be available for an additional squeeze-in fee. These are perfect when you need a little more flexibility but still want a dedicated appointment without trying to squeeze your life into my regular booking hours.

Apparently I need to talk about these more because some of y’all have been SHOCKED when I tell you I offer them. 😂

“WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THIS???”

me: explained the healing process 3 times

them on day 4: 🧍‍♀️

peeling = normal
itching = normal

Tattoos heal in stages. Think: dry, itchy flaky, and a little dull before the ink settles. This is completely normal as your body heals and grows new skin cells over the ink. This is the normal healing process — not your tattoo or brows “falling out”

Especially with fine line tattoos + soft, natural brows
softer work = more natural fade = sometimes needing touch ups to build the perfect saturation over time.

and before you plan your next tattoo… remember placement matters:
fingers = high movement + constant washing = faster fading
brows = will flake + heal lighter before the final result settles
arms/legs = better retention

During the first few days avoid: swimming, saunas, excessive heat/water exposure, scrubbing motions, active ingredients.

At shape and shade all body art includes free touch ups within 6 months to build up the perfect level of saturation.

You don't need to have a reason, just an appointment 😌

Not ready for a cartilage piercing? Start here.
Getting your second/third lobes is a great place to start a stack because it's super beginner friendly.

🌟 Most describe the pain level to be a 2/10
🌟 Lobes generally heal around 6 months (12 months for cartilage)
🌟 You can get creative with jewelry options. Once fully healed you can hoop it or use a chain to connect it to your first and second!
