From Makeup Artistry to Restorative Cosmetic Tattoo
Before entering the world of cosmetic tattooing, Erin built her foundation in professional makeup artistry, where she developed a deep understanding of facial structure, color theory, skin texture, and natural beauty enhancement.
Over time, she recognized a growing need for a more thoughtful and restorative approach within the permanent makeup industry — one that prioritized skin integrity, long-term results, and subtle artistry over trends and over-saturation.
This perspective became the foundation of Contour + Ink:
a space where cosmetic tattooing could feel elevated, refined, and deeply personalized.
Today, Erin’s work focuses on helping clients restore confidence through natural-looking enhancements that honor their existing features rather than masking them.
