Zen Derma Cosmetic Tattoo | Permanent Makeup Studio & Academy San Diego

Zen Derma is a private cosmetic tattoo studio in San Diego where Kim Zen personally performs every treatment. Services include powder brows done with her trademarked shading technique, eyeliner placed only along the base of the lashes, and lip blush to add color and shape. The studio also offers scalp micropigmentation for both men and women, plus non-laser removal of unwanted permanent makeup and cosmetic tattoos. For brows, eyeliner and lips, a touch-up is part of the initial session.

New clients have to submit a pre-screening evaluation form first, and Kim decides whether they are eligible before they can book. After approval, clients pick a date on the online calendar and pay either a deposit or the full amount. The site states that all sales, deposits included, are final. Zen Derma also runs an academy for artists. It offers an online powder brows course based on Kim's Magnum Shading method, an optional one-month coaching add-on, and in-person brow training with live models that ends with a certificate of completion.
