Warning: Long transparent post. Please grab a snack! I want to talk about a change I’ve slowly been making: My ink formula.

Since the very start of my cosmetic tattooing career, I stuck with one type of ink known as Organic Ink. I know it sounds fancy but when it comes to ink, Organic has nothing to do with being healthy or high quality 😂

I won’t get into the science of it all because I actually want you to finish reading this 🤣 What’s important to know is its behavior.

Organic is popular because it goes into skin easily and lasts a really long time. Like, a REALLY long time! And while this can be a great thing, it does have its drawbacks - Less flexibility in changes, cool toned color shifts and the need for more time between touchups.

I’ve learned that longer lasting isn’t always better.
If you have ever asked me for a touchup at 3 years and I told you to wait longer, you understand 😂

4 years ago I started to incorporate a different type of ink - Inorganic ink. It behaves the exact opposite of Organic ink. It doesn’t stay in the skin long, typically fading out in about 1-2 years. The plus?

A super clean fade, minuscule color shifts, more flexibility in shaping, the ability to go a bit darker/bolder without the same risk, and the ability to get touchups sooner vs needing to wait years on end.

Now, I use them both in conjunction. For some clients, it still makes sense to use Organic ink depending on the color, their skin tone etc. But now I have more flexibility and I use them together based on what YOUR BROWS need.

If I need to change your formula, I will always inform you and explain why. But my priority has always and will always be your long term results over every thing else.

This photo is a touchup after 1 year. The shape is visible, softly defined. The color tone is perfect, just a lighter version of where we started. For me, this is the ultimate goal. Not a brow that looks amazing fresh, but a brow that still looks great once it has aged and faded.

As always, thank you all for always trusting me and giving me space to learn, grow and pivot for you guys. It means everything 🫶🏼

A quick heads up, Lip Blush service will be increasing in price starting October.

If you’ve been thinking about waking up with effortlessly tinted lips, now is the perfect time to book and lock in the current pricing. This will also affect Full Touch Ups so if you need a color refresh, now is the time!💋

We would like to give a shout out to all the client s who have helped Erica grow into the artist she is today! Erica started Lip Blush in 2021 and this will be the first increase we have done since taking her off the model rate. She has worked hard and earned every bit of knowledge she has today.

The link is in our bio, you know what to do!

✨𝑺𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑵𝑬 𝑹𝑬𝑴𝑶𝑽𝑨𝑳✨

My client has been through the freaking ringer with this Lip Blush 😩

She got them done a few years ago and obviously and was super unhappy with the results. The lips were overlined (this is why we never go outside the shape), leaving them very bold in some areas, patchy in others, and completely messing up her natural shape.

The worst part is that she couldn’t find any laser company that was willing to remove this ink.

By the time she contacted us, she was desperate for any solution and was hoping I would be able to do saline removal.

A little back story – I don’t do saline removal anymore 🙈I use to do saline removal but ultimately decided to stop offering it outside of Emergency Removals (removals of botched work within 48 hours of the procedure). It was a slow process, took many sessions for results and tbh, I felt that laser removal was a much better solution.

But in this situation, it didn’t seem that laser was an option. After thoroughly explaining saline removal, she seemed completely on board with the time it would take so we decided to give it a shot.

Now, IMAGINE OUR SHOCK when she came back 1 month after ONLY ONE SESSION, with these results 🤩

We were GEEKIN. I genuinely don’t know who was more excited 😂 Anyhoos. We’re going to do one more session in about a month to lighten the remaining spots and hoping that is all she will need!

TLDR: Do your research, all artists aren’t the same, never go outside th lip border and removal can be a lengthy process but is always worth it.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🇲🇽

I’m Paula, the Owner and Artist of Runway Brows and – fun fact – Playa del Carmen is in my top 3 places in the world 🌎

This year will be my 10th year in business 🙌🏼 Saying I’m grateful is an understatement.

As we know, all artists have a different approach to their work and I wanted to share some of the core beliefs that have shaped my brow work and have gotten me through 10 years of cosmetic tattooing!

1. Longevity is the PRIORITY ✨ Th way a tattoo ages literally shapes every aspect of our service – from shape and color, to ink formula and touch up frequency. If it’s something that will be a problem in 5 years, I won’t do it.

2. Client education is key to successful outcomes 🔑 There are so many limitations to what we can do and it’s important that you are aware of all of them. I want my clients to know beyond the marketing gimmicks. I want them to be aware of the good and bad aspects of cosmetic tattoos before pulling the trigger. This is why I will always have free consultations as a part of our booking process! It also gives us a chance to feel each other out a bit and make sure that your goals and my style align.

3. Less will always be more! We are in a time where we are always chasing more - more filler, Botox, longer hair extensions, fuller lash extensions, filtered skin … you get my point. Brows are the same. Our goal is not to replace your makeup, it’s to create a soft natural brow that you will never regret.

If our method sounds like something you jive with, drop us a comment, send us a message or schedule a consult! We are happy to connect and answer any questions❤️
