Advanced Dermagraphics

DON’T DO IT!!! Permanent is permanent. I was devastated with the results. Yes Tammy did a skin test for a $ 100. Deposit (to lock you in if there is any doubt or hesitation). Yes Tammy drew my eyebrows on first and we agreed. No they looked nothing like what they were supposed to. One had a permanent surprise look. Tammy called it a mini face lift. The other was straight and looked angry. Not once did she show me a mirror during the procedure. As a matter of fact she started twee-​zing away what little eyebrow I had on only one of my eyebrows to hide her mistake. Comments like «shoot» or «shucks» are not things you want being said when you have someone tattooing your face. When I expressed my shock and informed her I hated them there was ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN. When I told her this is not what we discussed or what I was expecting, I was informed policy says you have to follow the bone line. Basically this is the way it had to be because of my bone line not because she made mistakes. Come back in 35 days and bring more money (raised her original touch up price from $ 150 to $ 200). NO WAY would I ever let this unskilled con artist ever touch me again. Don’t fall for her line «I have been in the business for 14+ years.» That doesn’t mean she has been tattooing for 14 years (hindsight). The required skill is not there. The results unfortunately for me were the proof. Do what I didn’t do and ask to see and speak to a satisfied customer. I ignored the lack of current training certificates, and the dirty photo book with only a few examples that may not have even been her work. I trusted Tammy and believed she was going to make an improvement in my appearance. I was absolutely devastated at the results. I am only trying to prevent anyone else from going thru the pain, embarrassment and total humiliation I suffered. Not to mention the pain and expense to have them removed. I only wish I had been warned. After the fact I was able to consult with several permanent makeup removal specialist (who agreed she lacked the required skill) who are now helping me undo her mess.

I had been gradually losing hair in my eyebrows for the past few years, and was getting self-​conscious about it. After extensively researching every permanent make-​up artist from here to Raleigh to DC, I decided to go with Tammy at Advanced Dermagraphics. I am very pleased with my decision.
Tammy takes the time to do an allergy test, which most other artists do not do. Although reactions are rare, they are severe. It’s much better to have this done and wait a few days for the results, then to have severe scarring on your face for the rest of your life.
Aside from safety precautions, Tammy is one of the best at what she does. She draws your «tattoo» on with pencil first, gets your approval, and does a little bit at a time. Every so often, she continues to ask for your approval, to ensure that she is doing exactly what you want.
I now have amazing, and natural looking eyebrows. It has boosted my confidence, and I no longer have to rely on applying make-​up on my eyebrows every morning.
