THE ARTIST

Why restorative work

Susan spent twenty-five years in cosmetics before she ever picked up a tattoo machine, and most of the last decade doing permanent makeup: brows, liner, lips, close to a thousand procedures. Somewhere in those years a client asked if the same skill could give her back an areola after cancer. It could. That first client changed what the work was for.

Luxe Ink Restorative is the result: the same steady hands and colour sense, applied to the moment after surgery when the medical team is done and a person is left looking at what is left. Susan trained with leading paramedical educators in 3D areola restoration and scar camouflage, and keeps training, because pigment science moves and so should she.

HOW SHE WORKS

Quietly, one person at a time

A private studio

A private suite on Bellevue Avenue in Langhorne, one client at a time. No waiting room full of strangers, no walk-ins, no one else in the chair.

Honest consultations

Some scars are not ready and some are not candidates. Susan says so, and would rather lose the booking than promise what pigment cannot do.

Credentials that matter

Bloodborne-pathogens certified. Member, Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals. Advanced training in areola restoration and camouflage. Twenty-five years, and counting.

Susan's permanent-makeup studio, Luxe Ink Cosmetics, shares the same suite: brows, eyeliner, lip blush and skincare. It has its own site at luxeinkcosmetics.com.
