HOW WE CAN SERVE
HOW WE CAN SERVE
POWDER
BROW
Powder Brow
There are many names for cosmetic tattoos: Microblading, Microshading, Powder Brows, Ombré Brows, Nano Brows, Nano Blading, etc. that slightly differ in application of technique.
Fortitude Studios offers Powder brows, which are done strictly with machine-shaded pixels to create a soft, powdery, filled-in eyebrow that starts light and gradually appears more saturated in color toward the tail-end of the eyebrow.
This technique can be as subtle or dramatic as you’d prefer, and is best suited for all skin types.
This is a two-step process, meaning a 10-12 week perfecting session is required. Your transaction is split up and spaced out over separate transactions (retainer, first session, and second session).
Service breakdown: two appointments (initial and follow-up) totaling $700. We offer an Afterpay payment plan of four automatic payments of $175, OR our traditional payment of a $150 non-refundable retainer, $400 balance due at your initial appointment, and a $150 follow-up in 10-12 weeks.

Powder brows are designed with machine-shaded pixels to create a soft, powdery, dusting of color that starts light at the front of the brow and gradually appears more saturated in color toward the tail-end.
This technique can be as subtle or dramatic as you’d prefer, and is best suited for all skin types, especially those with oily or mature skin. All cosmetic tattoo appointments require a 10-week touch-up.

LIP
BLUSH
Lip Blush
For the woman who likes a sheer tinted gloss or a full-coverage lipstick, either technique serves your style.
Lip blushing is a technique that enhances the shape and fullness of your natural lips, while also correcting any asymmetry to create a more balanced look.
Pigment is implanted by machine-shaded pixels that heal to a soft, sheer, natural “blush” of color for the perfect pout.
This is a two-step process, meaning a 10-12 week perfecting session is required. Your transaction is split up and spaced out over separate transactions (retainer, first session, and second session).

BROW
LAMINATION
Brow Lamination
For the woman trying to tame those unruly hairs for a sleek and easy look.
Brow lamination is similar to a lash lift in that it temporarily “perms” the hair to lay flat in a uniform position, giving the illusion of fuller, more fluffy brows. *Must have brow hair in order to laminate.*
It is optional to add a tint for the appearance of darker, fuller brows. Lamination lasts 6-7 weeks and the tint lasts 3-4 weeks depending on care. This service can be performed on brows that have a cosmetic tattoo or bare brows.
Experience no downtime with this quick-and-easy service, aside from keeping your brows dry for 24 hours post-lamination to ensure the perm sets correctly.

TATTOO
Fine Line Tattoo
For the woman who wants a delicate, lifelong keepsake.
Fine line tattoos vary from traditional tattoos in that they are on a smaller scale, focusing more on intricate line work and detail to capture your art for the long-term.
Typically, fine line tattoos are minimalistic in design and span a few inches at maximum.
Pricing varies based on design and amount of time invested. You must consult with Fortitude Studios prior to booking to discuss ideas.

Are you ready for your transformation, or will you continue to wonder what an effortless “getting ready” routine looks like?
Tracee gave me the most beautiful brows. She took her time listening to me, giving me her professional opinion and explained everything step by step. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. Her talents as an artist really shine through in her work and her personality makes the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend her and this shop to anyone interested.

Tracee is an ARTIST. I had my eyebrows done with powder brow and lip blushing done. The before and after picture speaks for itself. I’ve always been insecure about wonky brows and thin lips, but Tracee brought out the natural strengths in both. It’s reshaped my face!! It’s been a few months since I’ve healed and I have barely worn makeup at all since. I can’t say enough good things about her professionalism, combined with her lovely personality. It feels like hanging out with a friend - who you trust with your literal face - when you’re in Tracee’s hands. If you’ve been curious about permanent make up, DO IT!!

Today I had the chance for Tracee to work her magic on my brows. After our consultation, we decided that powered brows would be the best look for what I was hoping to achieve. From start to finish, Tracee was professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous. Her visual arts background helped make me feel comfortable with her skill set/expertise. Tracee explained each step of the process and provided fantastic pre and post care instructions. Tracee is truly top-notch in her craft. I highly recommend Tracee.

Tracee is a brow magician. She walks you through literally every step of the way so there are no surprises and makes the appointment much more comfortable. The actual blading of my brows was PAINLESS. I was only tender to the touch toward the very end of my session (as expected). Tracee truly cares about her clients and how they feel/want to look. I let her take the reins on color, shape, etc. because I didn’t have anything specific in mind and she met my expectations perfectly. Would recommend her 10/10 times!

Tracee is an absolute gem! I just finished my microblading touch up appointment and I am so ecstatic with the results! Tracee is a true professional, makes you feel totally at ease through the whole process. She goes the extra mile to make it an enjoyable experience. Not to mention the fact that she's an absolute perfectionist! She will map out your brows and make sure you love them before making them permanent. Just quit searching and book with her! You won't regret it!
