Aurora Studio

Aurora Studio (Hello Aurora) is the cosmetic tattoo practice of Jeanie Aurora, who lists 10 years of experience. She works in Mission Hills, San Diego, and also in Temecula and Los Angeles. The menu includes nano brows, powder brows, combo brows, lip blushing, shaded eyeliner, wing eyeliner, lash line tattoos and freckle tattoos. She also teaches brow mapping classes and training.

Clients fill out paperwork before their first visit. At the appointment, topical lidocaine is applied and the brows are mapped. The tattooing starts only when artist and client both agree on shape and color. A touch-up is booked at the end of the session, and the aftercare page puts it at 10 to 12 weeks. The studio also offers Color Refresher appointments to clients who had their original tattoo there, which the site says are usually suggested about 2 to 5 years later. Jeanie calls her approach intentionally conservative. Clients are asked to come alone, and no one under 18 is allowed in the studio. A non-refundable reservation fee secures each appointment.
