BIO
AMY DURAN, TATTOO ARTIST
I first moved to Athens over 25 years ago, to study Fashion Merchandising at UGA. Since then, I’ve obtained my Cosmetology License, and my certification in Cosmetic Tattooing. Continuing education is always a priority for me. Over the past few years, I’ve received additional cosmetic tattoo training from top artists in the industry, around the world. Last year, I attended the largest Permanent Makeup Conference in the US, earning certification in several new techniques. In addition, I completed a illustrative tattoo apprenticeship in 2022.
​
Cosmetic tattooing combines my love of the beauty industry with my passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin. I will always do my best to make sure my clients feel comfortable, relaxed and confident in their decision. My job is not to convince you to receive a cosmetic tattoo service, but to provide you with all the information you need to make the best decision for yourself. I truly enjoy the process of customizing each tattoo to naturally enhance every client’s beauty. My clients are the best clients! 🖤
