Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Pretty N’ Ink, LLC

Welcome to the Pretty N’ Ink FAQ page! Based in Grand Blanc, MI, we are your premier destination for permanent makeup, advanced skincare, and laser services. Have a question about our treatments? Check out our most frequently asked questions below.

  • Are you just a brow studio, or do you offer other types of permanent makeup?

    We are proud to be so much more than just a brow studio! While our lead artist and founder, Anne Tenbusch, is highly sought after for her Microblading and Powder/Combo Brow transformations, she is a 7-time certified permanent makeup artist. Our comprehensive cosmetic tattooing services include:

    • Lip Blushing: To add natural color and definition to your lips.
    • Permanent Eyeliner: For a smudge-proof, perfectly defined lash line.
    • Tattoo Freckles: For a sun-kissed, youthful look year-round.
    • Paramedical Tattooing: Including Scar Camouflage, Areola Pigmentation, and Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP).
  • Do you offer tattoo removal?

    Yes, we do! If you have an old body tattoo or previous permanent makeup that you are no longer happy with, we can help. We have a dedicated laser specialist on our team and utilize advanced Laser Tattoo Removal technology. The laser safely breaks down unwanted ink particles over a series of sessions, offering an effective solution to help you start fresh.

  • What is Permanent Makeup (PMU)?

    Permanent makeup (also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation) is a revolutionary beauty treatment where natural pigments are delicately implanted into the skin’s dermal layer. Whether it’s enhancing your eyebrows, defining your eyes with permanent eyeliner, or adding color with lip blushing, PMU is designed to mimic the look of freshly applied makeup that won’t wash off, smudge, or fade throughout your busy day.

  • How long does permanent makeup last?

    Because we use modern techniques and high-quality organic pigments, cosmetic tattooing is considered semi-permanent. Depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the specific service (such as microblading vs. lip blushing), results generally last anywhere from 1 to 3 years before a color-boost touch-up is recommended.

  • Does cosmetic tattooing hurt?

    Your comfort is our top priority! We use highly effective topical numbing creams and gels before and during the procedure to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible. Most of our clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or tingling rather than actual pain.

  • What other skin and beauty services do you offer?

    Beyond permanent makeup and laser tattoo removal, Pretty N’ Ink offers a full suite of services to help you look and feel your absolute best. Our Grand Blanc studio provides:

    • Laser Hair Removal: For smooth, hair-free skin.
    • Advanced Skincare: Including RF Microneedling and Diamond Glow Facials.
    • Professional Piercings: Clean, safe ear, nose, and body piercings.
  • Who will be doing my permanent makeup?

    Your services will be performed by our founder, Anne Tenbusch. Anne has a Bachelor’s degree in Art, over a decade of graphic design experience, and 12+ years in the beauty industry. She is a 7-time certified artist who approaches every face as a unique canvas, ensuring your enhancements look natural, flattering, and tailored perfectly to you.
