Ink To Skin

Ink To Skin is a permanent makeup (PMU) studio in Oakbrook Terrace where artist Maria Truanne works. The studio reports more than 10 years of PMU work and focuses on brows, eyeliner and lip tattooing. Maria started in beauty close to 20 years ago, working first with lashes before moving into PMU. Her site says she has trained over 100 PMU and lash artists and that she is a former PRADA designer. Besides PMU, the studio lists tailored facials and a group of plasma services: hair loss treatment, skin rejuvenation, lip neutralization, non-surgical eyelid lifting and underarm whitening.

The studio says it begins with a personalized consultation. According to the studio, most PMU appointments take 1.5 to 2 hours and numbing creams are used. It also says results typically last 1 to 3 years and recommends occasional touch-ups. Their site notes that people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain skin conditions in the treatment area may need treatments adjusted or avoided, and it suggests booking a consultation first. Appointments can be booked through a booking page on the studio's website.
