Honey• Natural Cosmetic & Restorative Tattooing

Samara is amazing. Don't go anywhere else. I've been coming to her for years. In 2018 was my first microblading of my brows with her and I just recently went back to get by brows done again. She is attentive and knows how to make you feel so comfortable. During the process she asks how are you feeling.

Samara did my eyeliner, freckles, and lips, and I’m genuinely so happy with everything. She was super communicative the entire time, generous with free touch-ups, and made me feel completely comfortable trusting her with a tattoo needle on my face, which is not a small thing. My eyeliner looks really natural, like I have thick lashes, and my lips look naturally pink and fuller. My freckles are an absolute game changer for my appearance. They bring out my cheekbones and eyes in a way traditional makeup can’t. I get tons of compliments, especially on my freckles, and I’ve noticed a lot more double takes. I feel more confident, feminine, and put together even on low-effort days, like when I’m at the gym or hanging out in my pajamas. She’s also a fun, easy person to spend the day with, so I’ll probably have to invent an excuse to book her again. I live in Los Angeles, but the drive to San Diego is absolutely worth it for this level of work. I’m covered head to toe in tattoos, so I really appreciate artistry and professionalism, and she absolutely delivers.

Samara is absolutely the BEST. I've been coming to her for years for microblading/tattooing of my brows, which were blonde, sparse, and totally washed out the color of my face. Now they are matched so well with the color of my skin and hair, perfectly shaped, and I don't have to draw them in, yay! She is the kindest person, with such a big heart, and lots of fun to hang out with with for your appointment, too. I recommend Samara 100%!!

Friends and neighbours, I recently had my lips blushed by Samara. I’m here to tell you they came out absolutely beautiful! If you’ve been thinking about it… do it! Samara is an absolute gem. Aside from being incredible at her craft, she is kind (and funny!) taking her time to make sure that the colours are perfect and you, the client and comfortable as humanly possible.

TLDR: Samara is the only person I will let ink my face. Hope you read my thoroughly earned praise. I moved from SF to Chicago, and I still make the journey to San Diego to get Honey. Samara is exceptional in every way. At our appointment today, I asked: Q: What are you learning to do next? A: Working on scars and nipple perfecting. Sign me up. She is consistently practicing her existing skills while learning new ones; she takes pride in her art. I think she has done my brows for 7-8 years now and did a few heart freckles on my chest. My lip blush got added 5 years ago along with my eyelash enhancement. (I’d been asking for ages for my subtle eyeliner, but until she was confident in her excellence, she’d decline.) She’s now trained to do hair follicle tattoo, AKA scalp micropigmentation (SMP). It’s designed to replicate the appearance of natural hair follicles on the scalp. Whether it’s stress, hormones, or more general aging, my hairline has been thinning. I refer to my right temple as my bald spot, or did. She has performed magic. She has absolutely changed my life. My confidence and self-esteem have grown exponentially thanks to Samara doing her thing.
