Step 2 - Your AppointmentWe start with a full in-person consultation: custom shape, color, and design. Nothing gets tattooed until you love it.
Step 3 - Heal and GlowInitial healing takes about a week. After that, your results soften and settle into their true color over 6–8 weeks. The healed result is always the one worth waiting for.

Meet Nikki
Hi, I'm Nikki - the artist behind Inked Cosmetics.
My eye for detail goes back further than PMU. I spent years as a wedding planner making sure every single detail was perfect for someone's most important day. That same mindset is what I bring to every face I work on.
I'm internationally certified and trained by some of the most respected academies in the industry, but what I'm most proud of is that my clients actually feel comfortable in my chair. No rushing, no pressure, no surprises. Just a really thoughtful process that ends with results you're genuinely excited about.
Based in Great Falls, Virginia - serving Northern Virginia & the greater DMV area.
Soft, natural results. Customized for you.
Every result you see below was created using techniques designed to heal natural and age gracefully.
No harsh lines. No heavy saturation.
Just enhanced features that look like you on your best day.

Client Reviews
“Simply a great experience with Nikki! I wanted an easy wake-up-and-go look, and she delivered! I was super anxious going in, but Nikki is professional, personable, and her artistry speaks for itself.”
— Christine“I naturally have a darker lip color and always wanted a lighter, almost pink blush. I never really thought that would be possible but Nikki gave me the confidence to show off my beautiful new lip color. She is definitely a master at her craft.”
— Kiny“It's on my face, so I was hesitant at first. Nikki made me feel comfortable right away and really took the time to understand what would work best for my skin type. Two months later, they still look so natural. I get compliments all the time.”
— Christina“After three disappointing experiences with another artist, I had almost given up until I found Nikki. She got it right the very first time. My brows have stayed perfect for over a year and a half. Nikki is the real deal.”
— Ericka“I reached out wanting a lip blush as a postpartum gift to myself and I left with a new friend and BEAUTIFUL lips. The experience was virtually painless, and I had genuine fun being there. Nikki will take such good care of you!”
— Lauren“I'm so happy with my result! The whole process was so easy. Nikki explained everything, listened to me, made me comfortable, and was meticulous!”
— Chris
