Faithfully INKed

Marianna is wonderful! She was so patient with me and answered all of my questions. She took so much time to create the most perfect tattoo for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. ❤️

If you’re looking for a warm, talented, and professional permanent makeup artist, Marianna is all of that and more. I have had both eyebrow microblading and lip blushing services from her—her work is beautiful and truly enhances my natural features. I cannot recommend Marianna enough! P.S. I travel 700 miles to book with her.

A Life-Changing Experience with Marianna at Faithfully Inked Finding Marianna at Faithfully Inked was nothing short of a miracle. I stumbled across her business while searching for someone—anyone—I could trust with something so personal and emotional: a medical tattoo for areola replacement. After years of searching and feeling disheartened, I found Marianna’s reviews and immediately knew I’d found the right person. Marianna isn’t just a tattoo artist—she is an artist in every sense of the word, and a deeply compassionate human being. She specializes in medical tattooing, permanent makeup, and small, meaningful personal tattoos. But what truly sets her apart is her work with breast cancer survivors and individuals like myself who are seeking healing, closure, or a sense of wholeness after trauma. When I was very young, I suffered severe burns on my left arm, upper left chest, and abdomen. The injuries required skin grafts and reconstruction surgery, which left me with heavy scarring—and without an areola. That absence, though seemingly small to others, has been a painful reminder for most of my life. This year, I finally decided to look into areola tattoos as a way to reclaim that part of myself. The session was emotional in ways I wasn’t fully prepared for. I cried. I got overwhelmed. But Marianna never flinched. She was patient, kind, and completely present the entire time. She comforted me when I needed it, encouraged me when I got down on myself, and never once made me feel like I was just another client on her schedule. She saw me—really saw me—and treated me with the utmost care and dignity. The tattoo itself turned out beautifully—better than I could have hoped for. It looks natural, and for the first time in years, I feel like my body is mine again. Marianna gave me more than a tattoo—she gave me healing. If you’re considering medical tattooing, or if you’ve been through any kind of physical trauma and are looking for someone who understands the emotional weight behind the ink, please go see Marianna. She’s a true professional, an incredibly talented artist, and a rare soul who brings light and compassion into everything she does. I cannot thank her enough—and I will never forget what she’s done for me.
