Makayla was great to work with! I wanted a super small paw print on my arm to look like a freckle. I chose Makayla because of her clean line work, her experience with tiny tattoos, and her experience with faux freckles. She killed it!!! She was able to stay true to my dog’s paw print shape even at such a small level. Very grateful she was able to help me honor and remember my dog this way! <3 With it being so small and not black, it took one touch up to make sure the color was in there, but she explained all of this ahead of time and made sure I was comfortable with the process. This was my first tattoo and I was very comfortable with her and trusted her guidance! The other artist in the studio at the time (Mandi) was so sweet and supportive as well. Definitely recommend coming here!
She’s so good! Thank you, Stephanie for taking the time to write about your paw print freckle tattoo and your other tiny tattoos ! Our approach tends to be just a little bit different, but we’re so happy that you shared the process. Thank you again!

You get what you pay for ladies..! Don't sell yourself short!! 🙌🏼💯❤️

I love this place! Mandi is my artist and she is amazing as I’m sure all of the artists there are. I had my brows done with her a year ago and just had my one year color boost done today (I told her I wish that all tattoos felt that good,!! I promise it doesn’t hurt) and they look as amazing as they did a year ago. I will continue to go to Pretty in Ink always! If you ever get the chance to go, do it!
Lisa McCormack
I had an incredible experience with Mandi at Pretty In Ink! She just did my brows, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. She listened to exactly what I wanted, made me feel totally at ease, and the result is just stunning—natural and perfectly shaped. If you’re thinking about brows, Mandi is the absolute best!
Yaaasss!! I’m loving that you are loving your brows and what we were able to achieve. Thank you for the trust. 🙌🏻🙏

This was my second time getting tooth gems from Pretty In Pink and I’m just as obsessed as the first time! 💕 The service is always professional, clean, and super comfortable. They take their time to make sure everything is placed perfectly, and the results are absolutely stunning. The vibes are amazing and they make you feel so welcome every visit. My gems last and always get so many compliments! I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend Pretty In Pink if you’re thinking about getting tooth gems! ✨💎
Toni! We love to have you💘 Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience with us!

Makayla was so incredible to work with. The process of scheduling and creating our designs was easy (both my husband and I got tattoos). She was so welcoming and the studio is such a cute spot. She was super thorough for sizing, placement, and cleaning. Our tattoos came out beautifully and we will absolutely be going back for our next ones!
Yes! We are so happy for you and your husband’s tattoo experience at Pretty in Ink and with Mrs Makayla. Thank you for taking the time to send us this love note 💙
Lindsay Mesenburg
I had such an amazing experience getting tooth gems done by Kendra! She was super professional and made the whole process really comfortable. You can tell she takes pride in her work everything was super clean and she paid attention to every detail. The gems came out perfect and I’ve gotten so many compliments already. If you're thinking about getting tooth gems, I 100% recommend going to Kendra. She’s talented, sweet, and clearly knows what she's doing!
Thank you, Lindsay! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review about your experience at our studio w Kendra🥰💘
Megan simari
Makayla is amazing! Seriously so impressed with her attention to detail and line work and she is so kind. I love my little airplane and initial on my fingers. These were my first finger tattoos and she walked me through the whole process and what to expect in the coming weeks with healing/ touch ups. Can’t wait to work with her on more ideas!
Yaasss Makayla’s fine line detail work is the best in the Midwest!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience. Reviews are like gold to a small business 🎊💙

Kay is an amazing artist and you can really see how much care she puts into her work. From the setup to stencil placement and even the follow-up, everything is top notch. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Christine Roussopoulos
I had an amazing time getting my latest tattoo. Makayla is awesome and was able to get our tattoos to be exactly what we wanted. We really appreciated her attention to detail, and the information that she shared with us specific to finger tattoos. Can’t wait to get my next tattoo!
😍😍😍 Beautiful lil boops ! Thank you for taking the time to share your tiny finger tattoo experience with Makayla. Looking forward to seeing you back at the studio 💙
Melanie West
Experience was professional and on point! Mandi is precise with her talent. I also appreciated the extras she offered during my lip blushing. Breaks, comfort level, water etc. This type of service deserves the utmost talent and Mandi definitely provided that. Her decades of experience are worth the $$ and time i had to wait to get in. Thanks Mandi. Looking forward to my brow service next.
🥰 Melanie! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience with me and doing your lip blushing. 🥰 I can wait until our next session. Cheers!
Nikki Bishop
Mandi spent the entire day on me lol 😆 she explained every step in detail and took her time. I had some lip swelling the day of the procedure but had zero pain the following day with little to no swelling! Her cost is more than others but I feel it was worth it. I will post my final results in October after my final touch up and healing are complete. Color boost lips and brow and new lash line. Mandi is so gifted I highly recommend!
Nikki! 🙌🏻Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your experience! 🥰 Can’t wait to see you back for your eyebrow and lip color follow up. Have a great rest of the summer and don’t forget the SPF on both!😘🤓
Sarah Skidmore
Mandi does an amazing job! Her loft is super cozy, and her work is solid. She does a complimentary touch up 8-10 weeks after your first visit. After my first visit my brows faded a lot, but she prepared me for that. Since the touch up, they are holding up great! She works fast, does an amazing job, and educates you on what to expect!
😭 Thank you Sarah for this amazing vote of confidence about tattooing your eyebrows! It’s means the world to me that you were so comfortable with the process and you are loving how they’re building up 💘
Julie
I can't recommend Makayla enough! She was incredibly patient throughout the entire process, taking the time to ensure I was completely happy with my design. Her knowledge and expertise were obvious, and the final result is a perfect, amazing tattoo. I absolutely love it!
Yes ! She’s the best and we’re so happy to have her 🎉🖤 Thank you for taking the time to send us your love note 💘
Cassadie Griffith
I always have an excellent experience when I get my eyebrows done with Mandi. She really listens to what you want your eyebrows to look like and executes with precision. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Most importantly it is sterile and clean. Whatever advice she gives you, please take it! Putting sunscreen on your eyebrows helps preserve the color and longevity of the shade. If you're looking for a professional and a Jane of all trades 😆 please do yourself a favor and book with Mandi. ✨
!! Cassadie! Yes! Your pigment settled and faded perfectly over the last few years bc of your use of sunscreen on them! 👏🏻 I can literally see a difference in yours. I love that you take all the steps to protect your investment. Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience at the studio. I’m so happy you enjoy the atmosphere and you are loving your brows. Signed, Jane of Trades🤣🫶
Sue Sheehan
I am a repeat customer of Mandi and I could not be more impressed with her artistic skill and professionalism. She did my brows 5-6 years ago and they were amazing. I have returned for retouch a couple of times and I continue to think her work is superb and would feel confident in asking her to do any of the procedures she offers. She is a gifted artist and I am so thankful for her choice to share that gift with us. I highly recommend Mandi and her services as I am 100% certain you will be pleased with the results.
Sue! I’m so so very grateful for your continued confidence in me to give you effortless eyebrows! It’s been a great journey with you! 💘 Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I appreciate you so much!
Lindsey
Ashley was patient and very knowledgeable. She made sure we understood every part of the process. She was able to bring my tattoo idea to Life. The space was so cute and unique! We will be going back.
We love this review about your experience with Ashley customizing your tattoo idea! Looking forward to having you back at the studio ✨🥰
Alex Schenkel
My wife and I absolutely loved our appointment with Makayla. She was very communicative and spent the time to make sure everything was perfect. We are super happy with our tattoos and will be back for more!
Amazing! Thank you Alex for taking the time to write about your tattoo experience with Makayla. We are so happy to have her with us! Till next time 🙌🏻
Cara Steinmetz
Mandi is a magician!! These eyebrows were my first tattoos, and being ON MY FACE, I was incredibly nervous about the whole thing. What she gave me is so much better than what I was born with! She took so much time to study my face shape and how my expressions change how my eyebrows move. As a retired RN, her professionalism and attention to clean/sterile technique is impressive. I cannot recommend her enough!
Hi Cara, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I am beyond excited that we got to build your brows with the nano brow technique. I appreciate your kind words!! I can’t wait to see you back for your follow up. They are only going to get better from here!💖
Angel Bemis
I went to Mandi for the non-laser removal of my old microblading. I was nervous going in, but she is so kind and bubbly she made me feel more at ease. She explained the process thoroughly as well. A few days after I had a few questions, I reached out to her and she responded quickly. I highly recommend her for removal! If you’re nervous and thinking about non-laser just do it! I’m happy with my first results!
Yay! Thank you, Angel, for your kind words and writing about your non-laser tattoo removal experience. We’re so happy you found us. ✨
Jena Bolte
Great experience! The shop is just a touch tricky to find, but that kind of gives it a fun, Speakeasy feel and it is absolutely gorgeous inside! Everything was immaculate. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I immediately felt at ease. Mandi is doing an AMAZING job on my lips! She really took her time to talk with me to get an idea on my usual daily vibe and what my goals are as far as my permanent makeup. I still need to go back for my touch up, but so far the color looks great and I am already getting compliments. I am thrilled with my results so far and can't wait to see the finished result! I'm thinking about adding on some other permanent makeup services, like eyeliner, too! Thank you Mandi!!
Jena! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience at Pretty in Ink! I’m so very excited to be working with you and working on achieving your desired lip color and getting it tattooed.😌 See you in a few weeks for your follow up! Thank you for choosing me and choosing to be Pretty in Ink 🫶🏻

Love my freckles!!! I have been going every 2 or so years for touch ups and the staff, the work and the attention to detail is amazing. The space is also so cute and well decorated.
Yaaasss!! We love building freckles! Thank you for taking the time to write us 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Ginny Ringel
Mandi does amazing work. I came to her a few years ago with gray, ashen brows from earlier work (micro blading and what the other provider called permanent cosmetic brows) and she did her best. Ultimately I did removal at Pretty in Ink with Ashley (thank you Ashley) and then only two laser treatments were necessary to give Mandi a clean canvas on which she created beautiful, realistic looking brows in time for my daughter’s wedding last year. I just went in again for a color touch up and could not be happier. She has a beautiful studio, everyone is so nice there, and she does such a great job with the numbing, I believe I fell asleep in the chair while she was working on me!! Thank you Mandi, and I recommend this place and the service provided, to everyone! ful!! Thank you Mandi! You are a gifted artist!!!
🙏🏻 Thank you, Ginny! It’s always a pleasure catching up with you. I’m stoked you are going to meet Ashley for your newer services. She’s a cutie with a lot of fun stories :)
Ivy Parker
Ashley did a set of powder ombré brows for me and was so wonderful! Not only did they turn out amazing, but she explained every part of the process! She also made sure I loved the outline 100% before starting! I loved that she combined what I wanted with her expertise! She is great at communicating and super personable!
👏Yasss!! Thank you, Ivy, for taking the time to write about your powder brow experience with Ashley! Cheers to effortless brows! ✨
Suzanne Osler
Makayla is amazing! This was my very first tattoo and she was incredibly patient and a true artist ❤️
We couldn’t agree more! Thank you, Suzanne for taking the time to write about your experience at the studio with Makayla for your first tattoo💘
Crystal Parsons
Faux Freckles Online Course. This review is not going to be nearly long enough to express how freakin amazing it is!!! First I’ll start with this … I have the confidence after taking this course knowing my results are going to have people coming back for more and new clients lining up at the door! I’ve taken other freckle training courses and this one surpasses them ALL 🙌🏼 I’m a hands on & visual learner, the extreme close-ups of Mandi doing the freckles was SO APPRECIATED! We see videos of Mandi working on someone new and someone who is coming back. We also get to see videos of healed results 🤭The quality of the videos, I wouldn’t have seen it better actually being there in person! You get PDF files of colour theory (I mean extensive colour theory) & why we choose certain pigments for freckles, intake forms, consent forms, waiver forms, understanding pigments, taking procedure notes and the list goes on!
!!! I’m so stoked you found my online freckle course informative and now feel confident tattooing freckles 🤍 Thank you for sending me this amazing review!! Let me know if you need anything else or have any questions in the future.
Lily Herold
Mandi was so sweet and accommodating! She was very communicative throughout the tattooing process, and she made sure I felt satisfied with the final result. Great experience overall!
Hi Lily! Thank you for taking the time to write review about your experience 🥰 Looking forward to having you back.
Julie Ball
I first had my eyebrows done by Mandi in 2019. I just went today for a maintenance touch up. They look phenomenal. I asked her if anyone ever told her it was so relaxing and she said actually yes. If you want the best brows here you go
!! Julie! You’re the best thank you for taking the time to write a review about your experience ✨ I just love the eyebrows we have been about to build for you of the years 🙏😭 Also, Thank you for the trust 💘
Vickie Walker
This was my very first experience with tattooing and Mandi was wonderful. From my initial inquiry, timely communications, thorough instructions for before & after the eyeliner applied, and contacting me afterward. The salon was clean, comfortable, & nice decor. Mandi is a true professional making sure you understand the process and that you are comfortable during it. I love my eyeliner it makes my eyes pop. Thank you! Next up eyebrows.
Vickie!! Thank you so much for taking the time to send us this loooooove note about your experience with me and about obtaining your new life proof eyeliner! 🙏🏻🥰😆 Can’t wait to see you back!
Megs Hodges
Excellent service!! Insane vibe!! My brows are beautiful!
Loren Hughes
Our experience with Makayla was FANTASTIC! We are new to the tattoo game, and she took time to walk us through each step of the process, ensuring we felt comfortable and allaying our fears. We had a general idea of what we wanted, but her expertise was invaluable in guiding our placement and final design. She is kind, brings the best vibes, has a steady hand, and her attention to detail is amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fine line tattoo.
!! Yasss! Thank you for taking the time to write about your tattoo experience with Makayla and her fine line tattoo work. Can’t wait to see you back!
Alex Euganeo
Had ZERO eyebrows and Mandi has made me feel so much better with her custom nano brows! Hardly any pain and heal quickly. Aside from amazing work, the environment and staff are welcoming and nonjudgmental. 10/10 recommend
🫶🏻 Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and share your experience getting nano brows tattooed with me, Mandi. It means the world to a small business ran by artists to read your kind words!🥹🙏🏻 Thank you for the trust.
Miranda Tornero
So far so good! Had my first session yesterday and I'm loving my new microbladed brows. Mandi was super personable and funny and good at what she does. Pain was minimal, aftercare seems simple. I am so excited about what it will look like in the end. And I'm a bit irritated with myself that I did not do this earlier lol The space is beautiful, it was a bit hard to find at first... but I'm also directionally challenged. Everyone that worked there was so nice and welcoming. I would def recommend!
Yay! Thank you Miranda for taking the time to write about your experience of getting your eyebrows microbladed. It was a pleasure to have you at the studio! See you for your follow up🫶🏻
Cassandra Caldwell
Kaylin is wonderful! She does a wonderful job. She has a calmness about her that makes one feel relaxed. She is also a great listener. Highly recommend!
! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about our Aesthetician Kaylin. You are so right, she does an amazing job. Thank you again for taking the time.💘
Amber M
Mandi’s work is awesome!! I walked in with no eyebrows very thin and was so tired of having to apply makeup just to put on eyebrows to feel decent in pubic. After Mandi customized my brows I walked out with Beautiful brows for MY face and feeling even more beautiful . Mandi is very professional and takes her time with you. I would recommend her to anyone interested in quality micro shade/blade brows.
!!! Amber! Thank you so much for the kind words about your eyebrow service! Your eyebrows were so much fun and I am so happy you chose to be Pretty in Ink! Enjoy!
KMW 03
Mandi is amazing. She is passionate about her craft and meticulous in the consulting/planning phase. She has tended to my eyebrows for years and today gave my 80 year old mother a fresh look. Mom keeps looking in the mirror and remarking, “It’s amazing!” Thank you, Mandi. ❤️
🥳 I am so honored you brought your mom in to have her eyebrows done! Thank you for your trust and support over the years. I am so grateful to you!
Janelle Consiglio
Mandi is incredibly talented. She tattooed my brows for me and did an AMAZING job! They look so natural and I have received a ton of compliments from people that didn’t even know they were tattooed. I would highly recommend her talent to anyone that may be interested. If you are on the fence get off and run to Mandi’s Pretty in Ink studio. Oh and by the way her studio is beautiful!
Janelle! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so stoked about your results. Thank you for choosing Pretty in Ink to tattoo your brows! 💖
greg burton
Mandi did a wonderful job. I am so happy with my permanent eyeliner. Mandi walked me through the whole process from beginning to end. She was very professional but still personable. I appreciate the work that she does and will recommend her to anyone that is looking to get quality cosmetic tattooing done on their eyes, eye brows, or lips. Thank you Mandi! You did a great job! - Sarah
Hi, Sarah! You're welcome! Stoked you're loving your liner! Thank you so much for your kind words!

Thea Stonerock
Mandi is a brow wizard!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is so talented and professional and friendly! I am so pleased with my Microblading results! I have so much more confidence and my make-up routine is 10x quicker now that I don’t have to try and fill in my terribly sparse brows! Go to Mandi! She’s worth every penny! Do it!
Thea, you rock! I'm so excited to have relieved you from your eyebrow burden and it giving you extra confidence! We’re all about helping saving time and money in the long run. Thank you for choosing to be Pretty in Ink and for your kind words! 🖤 -Mandi
Serena VerWeire
LOVE THEM!! Literally everything about the studio, the staff, and the vibe is literally EVERYTHING. I finally have the brows I’ve always wanted and never been able to achieve. Recommend 10/10!
!! YES!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience without us at the studio and we are so stoked that you have the eyebrows of you’ve always wanted ! They’ll only keep getting better from here☺️ See you at your 8 week touch up tattoo session!

Mandi is amazing! I had such a wonderful experience and love my new brows! The space is so cool and beautiful too.
Yaaass, Breanne!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your visit & eyebrow tattooing experience with me. It means the world that you are happy! 🥹🫶🏻
Terah Webb
Mandi is great! Had brows with her years ago and needed a touch up. Trust the process! Her technique is perfect and I highly recommend her.
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you, Terah, for the trust over the years doing your eyebrows and for taking the time to leave this review 🥰💙 You’re the best!
Erin Elizabeth
I’ve been Mandi’s client for 4 years. I have zero regrets. She is so talented. She is so patient. I continue to recommend her to family and friends. Always will. Her work speaks for itself. I really appreciate the fact that she offers microblading AND machining. Most only offer the blading and blading just doesn’t work well for my skin. But the machine hair strokes look identical to the blade strokes so having that option for something that my skin will actually hold is fantastic! Another great thing is that Mandi’s pricing for touch ups beats everyone else’s by a long shot. It makes it very easy and affordable to get touch ups when I want. I love Pretty In Ink!!!
🖤🖤🖤🖤😫Erin!? Why you so cute!? Thank you so very much for your kind words! 😘🖤🖤🖤🖤
Lisa Silveous
So thrilled with my eyeliner! These will look even better after my touch up app in about a month. The owner of Pretty In Ink, Mandi, was very welcoming and calming. Her studio is a beautiful space, and very clean. I was a model for a training session there, and Syd did an amazing job. She was very thorough in communicating with me, so that we could both achieve my eyeliner goals! We did a modest look, then I will follow up to tweak them more. As Syd told me, “You can always add more pigment, but you can’t take away.” I’m going to love not having to line my eyes everyday, esp when I’m in a rush or on vacation! I will definitely be back for my touch up, and some brow work!
Yay!! Stoked Sydney brought you to the studio, Lisa! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review!🖤

Makayla was great to work with! I wanted a super small paw print on my arm to look like a freckle. I chose Makayla because of her clean line work, her experience with tiny tattoos, and her experience with faux freckles. She killed it!!! She was able to stay true to my dog’s paw print shape even at such a small level. Very grateful she was able to help me honor and remember my dog this way! <3 With it being so small and not black, it took one touch up to make sure the color was in there, but she explained all of this ahead of time and made sure I was comfortable with the process. This was my first tattoo and I was very comfortable with her and trusted her guidance! The other artist in the studio at the time (Mandi) was so sweet and supportive as well. Definitely recommend coming here!
She’s so good! Thank you, Stephanie for taking the time to write about your paw print freckle tattoo and your other tiny tattoos ! Our approach tends to be just a little bit different, but we’re so happy that you shared the process. Thank you again!

Julie
I can't recommend Makayla enough! She was incredibly patient throughout the entire process, taking the time to ensure I was completely happy with my design. Her knowledge and expertise were obvious, and the final result is a perfect, amazing tattoo. I absolutely love it!
Yes ! She’s the best and we’re so happy to have her 🎉🖤 Thank you for taking the time to send us your love note 💘

I always have an excellent experience when I get my eyebrows done with Mandi. She really listens to what you want your eyebrows to look like and executes with precision. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Most importantly it is sterile and clean. Whatever advice she gives you, please take it! Putting sunscreen on your eyebrows helps preserve the color and longevity of the shade. If you're looking for a professional and a Jane of all trades 😆 please do yourself a favor and book with Mandi. ✨
!! Cassadie! Yes! Your pigment settled and faded perfectly over the last few years bc of your use of sunscreen on them! 👏🏻 I can literally see a difference in yours. I love that you take all the steps to protect your investment. Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience at the studio. I’m so happy you enjoy the atmosphere and you are loving your brows. Signed, Jane of Trades🤣🫶

I am a repeat customer of Mandi and I could not be more impressed with her artistic skill and professionalism. She did my brows 5-6 years ago and they were amazing. I have returned for retouch a couple of times and I continue to think her work is superb and would feel confident in asking her to do any of the procedures she offers. She is a gifted artist and I am so thankful for her choice to share that gift with us. I highly recommend Mandi and her services as I am 100% certain you will be pleased with the results.
Sue! I’m so so very grateful for your continued confidence in me to give you effortless eyebrows! It’s been a great journey with you! 💘 Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I appreciate you so much!
Lindsey
Ashley was patient and very knowledgeable. She made sure we understood every part of the process. She was able to bring my tattoo idea to Life. The space was so cute and unique! We will be going back.
We love this review about your experience with Ashley customizing your tattoo idea! Looking forward to having you back at the studio ✨🥰
Alex Schenkel
My wife and I absolutely loved our appointment with Makayla. She was very communicative and spent the time to make sure everything was perfect. We are super happy with our tattoos and will be back for more!
Amazing! Thank you Alex for taking the time to write about your tattoo experience with Makayla. We are so happy to have her with us! Till next time 🙌🏻
Cara Steinmetz
Mandi is a magician!! These eyebrows were my first tattoos, and being ON MY FACE, I was incredibly nervous about the whole thing. What she gave me is so much better than what I was born with! She took so much time to study my face shape and how my expressions change how my eyebrows move. As a retired RN, her professionalism and attention to clean/sterile technique is impressive. I cannot recommend her enough!
Hi Cara, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I am beyond excited that we got to build your brows with the nano brow technique. I appreciate your kind words!! I can’t wait to see you back for your follow up. They are only going to get better from here!💖
Angel Bemis
I went to Mandi for the non-laser removal of my old microblading. I was nervous going in, but she is so kind and bubbly she made me feel more at ease. She explained the process thoroughly as well. A few days after I had a few questions, I reached out to her and she responded quickly. I highly recommend her for removal! If you’re nervous and thinking about non-laser just do it! I’m happy with my first results!
Yay! Thank you, Angel, for your kind words and writing about your non-laser tattoo removal experience. We’re so happy you found us. ✨
Jena Bolte
Great experience! The shop is just a touch tricky to find, but that kind of gives it a fun, Speakeasy feel and it is absolutely gorgeous inside! Everything was immaculate. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. I immediately felt at ease. Mandi is doing an AMAZING job on my lips! She really took her time to talk with me to get an idea on my usual daily vibe and what my goals are as far as my permanent makeup. I still need to go back for my touch up, but so far the color looks great and I am already getting compliments. I am thrilled with my results so far and can't wait to see the finished result! I'm thinking about adding on some other permanent makeup services, like eyeliner, too! Thank you Mandi!!
Jena! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience at Pretty in Ink! I’m so very excited to be working with you and working on achieving your desired lip color and getting it tattooed.😌 See you in a few weeks for your follow up! Thank you for choosing me and choosing to be Pretty in Ink 🫶🏻

Love my freckles!!! I have been going every 2 or so years for touch ups and the staff, the work and the attention to detail is amazing. The space is also so cute and well decorated.
Yaaasss!! We love building freckles! Thank you for taking the time to write us 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
Ginny Ringel
Mandi does amazing work. I came to her a few years ago with gray, ashen brows from earlier work (micro blading and what the other provider called permanent cosmetic brows) and she did her best. Ultimately I did removal at Pretty in Ink with Ashley (thank you Ashley) and then only two laser treatments were necessary to give Mandi a clean canvas on which she created beautiful, realistic looking brows in time for my daughter’s wedding last year. I just went in again for a color touch up and could not be happier. She has a beautiful studio, everyone is so nice there, and she does such a great job with the numbing, I believe I fell asleep in the chair while she was working on me!! Thank you Mandi, and I recommend this place and the service provided, to everyone! ful!! Thank you Mandi! You are a gifted artist!!!
🙏🏻 Thank you, Ginny! It’s always a pleasure catching up with you. I’m stoked you are going to meet Ashley for your newer services. She’s a cutie with a lot of fun stories :)
Ivy Parker
Ashley did a set of powder ombré brows for me and was so wonderful! Not only did they turn out amazing, but she explained every part of the process! She also made sure I loved the outline 100% before starting! I loved that she combined what I wanted with her expertise! She is great at communicating and super personable!
👏Yasss!! Thank you, Ivy, for taking the time to write about your powder brow experience with Ashley! Cheers to effortless brows! ✨
Suzanne Osler
Makayla is amazing! This was my very first tattoo and she was incredibly patient and a true artist ❤️
We couldn’t agree more! Thank you, Suzanne for taking the time to write about your experience at the studio with Makayla for your first tattoo💘
Crystal Parsons
Faux Freckles Online Course. This review is not going to be nearly long enough to express how freakin amazing it is!!! First I’ll start with this … I have the confidence after taking this course knowing my results are going to have people coming back for more and new clients lining up at the door! I’ve taken other freckle training courses and this one surpasses them ALL 🙌🏼 I’m a hands on & visual learner, the extreme close-ups of Mandi doing the freckles was SO APPRECIATED! We see videos of Mandi working on someone new and someone who is coming back. We also get to see videos of healed results 🤭The quality of the videos, I wouldn’t have seen it better actually being there in person! You get PDF files of colour theory (I mean extensive colour theory) & why we choose certain pigments for freckles, intake forms, consent forms, waiver forms, understanding pigments, taking procedure notes and the list goes on!
!!! I’m so stoked you found my online freckle course informative and now feel confident tattooing freckles 🤍 Thank you for sending me this amazing review!! Let me know if you need anything else or have any questions in the future.
Lily Herold
Mandi was so sweet and accommodating! She was very communicative throughout the tattooing process, and she made sure I felt satisfied with the final result. Great experience overall!
Hi Lily! Thank you for taking the time to write review about your experience 🥰 Looking forward to having you back.
Julie Ball
I first had my eyebrows done by Mandi in 2019. I just went today for a maintenance touch up. They look phenomenal. I asked her if anyone ever told her it was so relaxing and she said actually yes. If you want the best brows here you go
!! Julie! You’re the best thank you for taking the time to write a review about your experience ✨ I just love the eyebrows we have been about to build for you of the years 🙏😭 Also, Thank you for the trust 💘
Vickie Walker
This was my very first experience with tattooing and Mandi was wonderful. From my initial inquiry, timely communications, thorough instructions for before & after the eyeliner applied, and contacting me afterward. The salon was clean, comfortable, & nice decor. Mandi is a true professional making sure you understand the process and that you are comfortable during it. I love my eyeliner it makes my eyes pop. Thank you! Next up eyebrows.
Vickie!! Thank you so much for taking the time to send us this loooooove note about your experience with me and about obtaining your new life proof eyeliner! 🙏🏻🥰😆 Can’t wait to see you back!
Megs Hodges
Excellent service!! Insane vibe!! My brows are beautiful!
Loren Hughes
Our experience with Makayla was FANTASTIC! We are new to the tattoo game, and she took time to walk us through each step of the process, ensuring we felt comfortable and allaying our fears. We had a general idea of what we wanted, but her expertise was invaluable in guiding our placement and final design. She is kind, brings the best vibes, has a steady hand, and her attention to detail is amazing. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fine line tattoo.
!! Yasss! Thank you for taking the time to write about your tattoo experience with Makayla and her fine line tattoo work. Can’t wait to see you back!
Alex Euganeo
Had ZERO eyebrows and Mandi has made me feel so much better with her custom nano brows! Hardly any pain and heal quickly. Aside from amazing work, the environment and staff are welcoming and nonjudgmental. 10/10 recommend
🫶🏻 Thank you so much for taking the time to write this and share your experience getting nano brows tattooed with me, Mandi. It means the world to a small business ran by artists to read your kind words!🥹🙏🏻 Thank you for the trust.
Miranda Tornero
So far so good! Had my first session yesterday and I'm loving my new microbladed brows. Mandi was super personable and funny and good at what she does. Pain was minimal, aftercare seems simple. I am so excited about what it will look like in the end. And I'm a bit irritated with myself that I did not do this earlier lol The space is beautiful, it was a bit hard to find at first... but I'm also directionally challenged. Everyone that worked there was so nice and welcoming. I would def recommend!
Yay! Thank you Miranda for taking the time to write about your experience of getting your eyebrows microbladed. It was a pleasure to have you at the studio! See you for your follow up🫶🏻
Cassandra Caldwell
Kaylin is wonderful! She does a wonderful job. She has a calmness about her that makes one feel relaxed. She is also a great listener. Highly recommend!
! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about our Aesthetician Kaylin. You are so right, she does an amazing job. Thank you again for taking the time.💘
Amber M
Mandi’s work is awesome!! I walked in with no eyebrows very thin and was so tired of having to apply makeup just to put on eyebrows to feel decent in pubic. After Mandi customized my brows I walked out with Beautiful brows for MY face and feeling even more beautiful . Mandi is very professional and takes her time with you. I would recommend her to anyone interested in quality micro shade/blade brows.
!!! Amber! Thank you so much for the kind words about your eyebrow service! Your eyebrows were so much fun and I am so happy you chose to be Pretty in Ink! Enjoy!
KMW 03
Mandi is amazing. She is passionate about her craft and meticulous in the consulting/planning phase. She has tended to my eyebrows for years and today gave my 80 year old mother a fresh look. Mom keeps looking in the mirror and remarking, “It’s amazing!” Thank you, Mandi. ❤️
🥳 I am so honored you brought your mom in to have her eyebrows done! Thank you for your trust and support over the years. I am so grateful to you!
Janelle Consiglio
Mandi is incredibly talented. She tattooed my brows for me and did an AMAZING job! They look so natural and I have received a ton of compliments from people that didn’t even know they were tattooed. I would highly recommend her talent to anyone that may be interested. If you are on the fence get off and run to Mandi’s Pretty in Ink studio. Oh and by the way her studio is beautiful!
Janelle! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so stoked about your results. Thank you for choosing Pretty in Ink to tattoo your brows! 💖
greg burton
Mandi did a wonderful job. I am so happy with my permanent eyeliner. Mandi walked me through the whole process from beginning to end. She was very professional but still personable. I appreciate the work that she does and will recommend her to anyone that is looking to get quality cosmetic tattooing done on their eyes, eye brows, or lips. Thank you Mandi! You did a great job! - Sarah
Hi, Sarah! You're welcome! Stoked you're loving your liner! Thank you so much for your kind words!

Thea Stonerock
Mandi is a brow wizard!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone! She is so talented and professional and friendly! I am so pleased with my Microblading results! I have so much more confidence and my make-up routine is 10x quicker now that I don’t have to try and fill in my terribly sparse brows! Go to Mandi! She’s worth every penny! Do it!
Thea, you rock! I'm so excited to have relieved you from your eyebrow burden and it giving you extra confidence! We’re all about helping saving time and money in the long run. Thank you for choosing to be Pretty in Ink and for your kind words! 🖤 -Mandi
Serena VerWeire
LOVE THEM!! Literally everything about the studio, the staff, and the vibe is literally EVERYTHING. I finally have the brows I’ve always wanted and never been able to achieve. Recommend 10/10!
!! YES!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience without us at the studio and we are so stoked that you have the eyebrows of you’ve always wanted ! They’ll only keep getting better from here☺️ See you at your 8 week touch up tattoo session!
Breanne Martin
Mandi is amazing! I had such a wonderful experience and love my new brows! The space is so cool and beautiful too.
Yaaass, Breanne!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write about your visit & eyebrow tattooing experience with me. It means the world that you are happy! 🥹🫶🏻
Terah Webb
Mandi is great! Had brows with her years ago and needed a touch up. Trust the process! Her technique is perfect and I highly recommend her.
🥰🥰🥰 Thank you, Terah, for the trust over the years doing your eyebrows and for taking the time to leave this review 🥰💙 You’re the best!
Erin Elizabeth
I’ve been Mandi’s client for 4 years. I have zero regrets. She is so talented. She is so patient. I continue to recommend her to family and friends. Always will. Her work speaks for itself. I really appreciate the fact that she offers microblading AND machining. Most only offer the blading and blading just doesn’t work well for my skin. But the machine hair strokes look identical to the blade strokes so having that option for something that my skin will actually hold is fantastic! Another great thing is that Mandi’s pricing for touch ups beats everyone else’s by a long shot. It makes it very easy and affordable to get touch ups when I want. I love Pretty In Ink!!!
🖤🖤🖤🖤😫Erin!? Why you so cute!? Thank you so very much for your kind words! 😘🖤🖤🖤🖤
Lisa Silveous
So thrilled with my eyeliner! These will look even better after my touch up app in about a month. The owner of Pretty In Ink, Mandi, was very welcoming and calming. Her studio is a beautiful space, and very clean. I was a model for a training session there, and Syd did an amazing job. She was very thorough in communicating with me, so that we could both achieve my eyeliner goals! We did a modest look, then I will follow up to tweak them more. As Syd told me, “You can always add more pigment, but you can’t take away.” I’m going to love not having to line my eyes everyday, esp when I’m in a rush or on vacation! I will definitely be back for my touch up, and some brow work!
Yay!! Stoked Sydney brought you to the studio, Lisa! Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review!🖤
