Hi, I’m Teryn!
To all prospective clients: I specialize in Powder Brows, Eyeliner, Lips, 3D Areola Restoration & Teenzy Tatz. Although I’m really good at all of the above mentioned and I love doing all of the above mentioned…I’m probably best known for my Eyeliner work.

To my fellow artists: I do an Eyeliner Workshop several times throughout the year. Check out the Training Calendar for dates or email [email protected]
Also artists…check out my educational, informative and entertaining Podcast…the Tatter-a-fact Podcast on YouTube. Or stream it on Spotify, Podcast Addict, Itunes and Buzzsprout. I talk openly, candidly and generously about everything permanent makeup and beyond.

TESTIMONIALS
Kat
Co-Founder & Owner | Chief Executive Officer
Kat began her career in Los Angeles as a topical makeup artist and esthetician. She quickly realized she had a knack and an artistic eye for symmetry and esthetics. When she decided to move to Las Vegas, she acquired a job as a cocktail waitress at one of the major hotels on the Las Vegas strip. It was originally meant to be a temporary position, but her love of people and service kept her there for several years.
In 2010, Teryn asked Kat to join her in growing the Girlz Ink brand. The dream was to build a company that served both the permanent makeup client as well as the artist. Together, they opened their very own Girlz Ink Studio, launched the Girlz Ink online store and online training academy.
Today, Girlz Ink is one of the industries most trusted companies. They are world renown for their highly skilled and talented artists who serve the Las Vegas area, their top quality PMU pigments, products and tools, and their in depth training classes for both the beginner and advanced artist. Kat was instrumental in these accomplishments.
Kat fell in love with the permanent makeup industry. She is grateful for the opportunity to support and elevate both current and future artists.
