Who We Are and What We Do
Dr. Ritu Chopra
I have had the pleasure of working with Vanessa for over six years. I have sent many patients to her for medical tattoo including 3D areoles and she always does an amazing job. She is a true artist and a professional. Hands down the best in the business! I will continue to refer her services to my patients!
Dr. Mark Mofid
When I refer patients to Vanessa and her team, I know that they will receive the highest caliber of service that is both professional and personalized. The results that I’ve seen exceeded expectations.

Vanessa has changed my confidence in the way that she has defined my eyebrows but also camouflaged my surgery scars! This woman is so compassionate and understanding but also extremely talented and creates a whole level of confidence with her work! There are places that you cannot even tell I ever had a scar thanks to her!
