Katy Bruess

After diving in to esthetics, I quickly became in love with the idea of cosmetic tattooing. I traveled to Portland, Oregon in 2021 where I was certified in microblading. After gaining experience in it, i instantly fell in love with offering this service. In 2023, when I found out I was pregnant, I decided I wanted to start up a business and get further trained in cosmetic tattooing. In the summer of 2023 I traveled back to the same studio in Portland to get trained in areola restoration, scar camouflage, eyeliner tattoo, and lip blushing.

In 2024 after finishing maternity leave, I dove head first in to Reflections and growing my business. I haven't regretted it for even a split second. I absolutely love being able to work along side such motivated and talented women, but also with such amazing clients each and every day. Being able to play a role in women reaching a new level of confidence is by far one of the most rewarding things in the world.

Areola Restoration, Scar Camouflage, and Scar Revision

Areola restoration is a paramedical tattooing technique that replicates and recreates the natural look of the areola and nipple following breast reconstruction or augmentation. Areola restoration is perfect for anyone who has had a mastectomy, irregularities, total loss, or any other inconsistencies in their areola and nipples after breast resconstruction or top surgery of any kind.

Scar camouflage is a paramedical tattooing method that uses specialized techniques to blend the scars with the surrounding skin tone, making it much less noticeable.
Scar revision is an amazing process that uses a tattoo machine to deposit a vitamin packed serums in to the scar or stretch-mark, similar to what most would call a micro-needling treatment. The combination of the needles from the machine and the serum being deposited in to the scar will visibly reduce the look of the scar or mark. Depeding on the person, these  at commonly paired together to lighten the scar before attempting a camouflaging treatment.

For all procedures, you will be topically numbed at the beginning of the appointment. You will also be numbed multiple times throughout the procedure to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible.

All cosmetic tattooing generally lasts about 2-3 years, however there are many factors that may affect tattooing to fade quicker, such as: sun exposure, skin type, age, lifestyle, etc.

Do I need a consultation?
A free consultation prior to the service date is required for paramedical tattooing services or if I'm correcting previous work. For new cosmetic tattooing clients, I generally consult at their first appointment, however, if anyone prefers to have a separate consult prior to their service date, then that is an option as well.
