About Me

Hey, I'm Ashley—the artist and founder of Skin & Needlez!

Skin & Needlez was created for the misfits, the rebels, the creatives, and anyone who's ever felt like traditional beauty spaces weren't made for them.

I believe beauty isn't about changing who you are—it's about amplifying who you've always been.

Permanent Makeup Services

I offer-

Wedding Services

Your wedding day should be about celebrating your love—not fitting into outdated beauty standards.

At Skin & Needlez, I provide inclusive, affirming wedding makeup services for LGBTQIA+ couples and anyone looking for a personalized experience that honors their identity, style, and vision. Whether you want soft and natural, bold and dramatic, masculine, feminine (somewhere in between the two), or something entirely your own, we'll create a look that feels authentically you.

I believe makeup should enhance your confidence, not change who you are.

What to Expect

BROWS

Brows are measured and mapped to your facial structure, bone symmetry, and style goals. You’ll approve the shape before anything is tattooed.

Nano: soft, natural hair strokes
Hybrid: hair strokes + shading for fullness
Ombré: soft powdered makeup effect

Appointment time: ~2–3 hours
Healing time: 7–14 days surface healing, full results in 4–6 weeks

LIP BLUSH & LIP LINER

Designed to enhance your natural lip shape, color, and symmetry. Your lip borders are carefully mapped and balanced to your facial features, and you’ll approve the shape and tone before any tattooing begins.

Lip Blush: soft wash of color for a naturally enhanced, tinted-lip look
Lip Liner Enhancement: definition along the lip border to improve shape, symmetry, and structure

Appointment time: ~2.5–3.5 hours
Healing time: 7–14 days surface healing, full results in 4–6 weeks

EYELINER

Eyeliner PMU is designed to subtly enhance the eyes by defining the lash line or creating a more noticeable eyeliner look, depending on your style goals. Your eye shape, symmetry, and desired intensity are carefully mapped before any tattooing begins. You will approve the design and thickness so it feels aligned with your vision.

Lash Enhancement: ultra-natural pigment placed between the lashes for a fuller lash line effect
Eyeliner Enhancement: a more defined liner look, ranging from soft and smudged to crisp and visible

Appointment time: ~2–3 hours
Healing time: 7–14 days surface healing, full results in 4–6 weeks
