erik berntsen

Erik is a Portland, Oregon artist who describes himself as a certified Permanent Makeup Artist and Cosmetic Tattoo Specialist. He opened his studio, Permanent Cosmetics Northwest, in 2009. Brow services include microblading, nano brows, powder or ombré brows, and combo brows. The studio also offers lip blush, with each shade custom mixed for the client, and several eyeliner styles: lashliner, classic, smoky, cat eye or wing, and lower liner. Freckles and beauty marks are listed too.

Every treatment starts with a consultation. Next comes a pre-draw, which lets the client check and adjust the shape before any work begins. The site says each treatment includes a retouch appointment 4 to 12 weeks after the first session, and Erik notes that he uses topical anesthetics to reduce discomfort. He also does touch-ups for brows, eyeliner and lip blush. This includes reviewing work done by other artists to see whether it can be refreshed or color corrected.
