The day of the tattoo, she showed me a few designs and was open to feedback. She really listened and the final drawing was exactly what I was going for. It's also healing so well! See for yourself and follow her instagram @janellameletattoo ! Thank you Janella for being gentle, open minded and collaborative!“

“I am very fortunate to be a cosmetic tattoo client of Juli Moon. She originally provided me with eyebrow tattoos in 2010 and did the first touch-up in 2015. I recently went back for a second touch-up, and my experience was just as wonderful as the first two appointments.
Juli is patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and a fantastic conversationalist. With all her years' experience, I fully trust her input and judgment, but she is always willing to listen to her clients as well since we wear the art.
Her location has its own parking lot, which is shared for all the businesses in the building. The studio itself is on the second floor, and each artist has their own space. It's such a creative atmosphere that exudes confidence and is welcoming to all. I always look forward to coming to see Juli.

“Clarice is the best in the business. I am particular and so is she. This was my second time having my eyebrows done and they look fabulous (according to everyone). I highly recommend!“
