"A few years ago I got tired of having no eyebrows and when I started asking around I was told by three different people to go see Sandra at Sandra's Ink. So I did but I was scared because I just assumed it was going to hurt and tattooing parlors as seen on cop shows on television did cross my mind...well, I was in for a big surprise!
First of all, Sandra's place was wonderful...so tastefully decorated and so clean and so welcoming. Her procedure room has an ambience of serenity with a little fountain and soft musi; Sandra, herself, is so calm and so kind that I knew immediately that I was in safe and caring hands.
Sandra took a lot of time to create me the perfect brows in pencil and she did not proceed until I was TOTALLY happy with the result. Then she told me every little thing there was to know about the actual procedure of creating me some eyebrows. She used a cool and soothing topical freezing and then told me that I was going to feel some pin- pricks. I felt some wee bits of pressure but, in truth, it was absolutely nothing. As Sandra works she takes her time and she regularly stops to inquire if you are alright and of course, I always was. I always close my eyes and listen to the fountain and if she doesn't stop to ask me how I am doing, I could easily fall asleep. Every time I have gone, I was totally relaxed and feeling no pain AT ALL.
I also had some eyeliner done and again, there were some initial "pricks" but they were so slight that I don't even consider them worthy of mention. The care and time Sandra took to make sure that my lids were topically anaesthetized was truly awesome. Not for one moment did I have any concern, worry, or pain. Sandra is amazing; I have recommended a number of friends to go to her and they all had the same easy experience. Bless you, Sandra, for the care you take in every aspect of the procedure."

Sandra did my brows and liner in 2004. Last year (2009) was the first brow touch up and this year (2010) will be the first liner touch up. I am terrified of needles and never thought that I could do something like this. But......Sandra is so gentle that the experience was absolutely great. Must mention how hygienic Sandra is with the procedure and the feeling of safety that you have with her. I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone for a procedure well done.

Sandra is a warm, competent professional; and her staff are friendly, and the studio is spotlessly clean and welcoming. With each step of the tattooing 'procedure' Sandra explained in detail what to expect. These were lost on me because the whole process was completely pain free and not at all threatening! I won't go as far as saying, "it was fun to be tattooed", but, it would definitely be something I would consider again. I'm looking forward to my follow up appointment.
