Laura is gentle, careful, and totally competent!  I chose her because of her medical credentials and the good reviews online.  They were warranted!  I decided to do eyeliner tattooing because I keep getting eye infections, and having to throw out all my makeup each time was getting expensive.  I love the idea of rolling out of bed with eyeliner on and not really needing anything else!  Plus I think I'll get fewer infections now that I don't need to wear eyeliner daily.I think people have all kinds of reactions to the pain -- I knew that this would hurt for me because I'm the kind of person that even the anesthetic at the dentist didn't keep me from feeling horrible pain when my wisdom teeth were taken out.  But Laura is really gentle and checks in with you constantly.  She kept applying the topical as I kept complaining about the pain, and it did get better.  But I know some people say it's just a tickle.  For me it felt like a spiked tractor was running over my eyelids.  It really depends on the person.  I still don't feel like it was as painful as a tattoo on a bony area would be -- partly because it's a small tattoo and relatively fast (about 45 min for my two eyes) and partly because tattoo on bone, ouch.I had seen example pics on the general internet (not Laura's website) and didn't like all the examples I saw -- some were way too dark or unnatural or just looked like bad makeup jobs, so I was a little nervous, but when Laura handed me the mirror afterwards, I was so happy!  It looked awesome.  Even better than when I put normal eyeliner on myself, haha.  Some of the pigment fell off after the first session (which she warned me about), and I was a little sad about that, because I had only a very thin line left, but she does a free touchup, which for me was basically just doing it again.  I knew the second time to ask for it to be a little darker and thicker than I expected it to turn out.  It's been two days, and so far it looks great!  I iced the first time and didn't the second, so I wonder if that has affected how much the tattoo stayed.  My eyes were actually less swollen the second time too, so maybe I iced too long and irritated my eyes.Another great thing about Laura is that when I texted her with questions and worries afterwards, she was really patient to answer me.  I went to see my eye doctor shortly after my tattooing, and he said that she stayed well away from the wetline and did a really good, safe job.  For me that seals the deal, since I'd read about some tattooists going onto the wetline and causing permanent damage. But Laura knows what she is doing.  I have sensitive eyes so he did give me drops for inflammation to help my eyes recover.  I would advise that someone have a doctor they can go to quickly afterwards if they have any worries; there was nothing really wrong with me, but seeing my doctor helped me feel at ease that everything was ok and my eyes just needed a few days to recover from the swelling.  In summary, Laura is amazing!  I'm so happy I did this!  Here's to a future of slovenly living and rolling out of bed and out the door with no makeup!*2 weeks later*The eyeliner stayed put this time and looks absolutely fabulous!  ZERO regrets.  This was legit one of the best decisions I've ever made.  I really think that I iced too long the first time and maybe that also caused some of the pigment to fall out; so glad Laura offers the free touch-up.  So now I wear pretty much no makeup but lipstick and feel like I look fine; if I want to glam it up more I can always add shadow and mascara and foundation, but I really don't feel like I need it for daily life.  It is so weirdly wonderful to just wash my face and go to bed without having to remove makeup!  or to wake up and feel like I look good right off the bat.  If or when this ever fades, I'm definitely doing it again!

There doesn't seem to be a way to respond to Google Reviews other than to leave a separate review. This is in response to Ms. Luellen. I did her eyebrows in Oct. 2016 and she told me she was very pleased with the results. On the date of her follow-up visit I was running behind schedule so she decided to run an errand and come back to my office in 30 minutes. I waited over an hour and she had not returned. I tried contacting her to see if she planned on coming back to my office. I finally received a text saying she was in a store "waiting for a price check". I told her we would have to reschedule as I had a full schedule the rest of that day. She then sent another text saying she wanted her money back as I was unable to see her for her follow-up visit. I told her I would be happy to see her, we just needed to reschedule. I did not hear from Ms. Luellen again until Feb. 2017 when she again sent a text requesting a refund because I was "not able to accommodate" her follow-up appointment. I again told her I was able to see her. She followed with distasteful texts and ended with "don't ever text me". I've attached screen shots of her texts. My comments are in Blue. Read Less

Laura is a rip-off!!!! She claims to be a registered nurse, but it's probably a LIE.... Laura took my money and promised to do a touchup because that particular procedure typically require going back after 60 days. Needless to say Laura never was available and took my money. I suggest if you have experienced any problems with Laura then report her to Texas Health Department and Better Business BureauRead Less

Laura is wonderful and I'm happy with the results. I got my eyebrows tattooed (the feathering looks so natural), as well as permanent eyeliner and full lip color tattoo. It was relatively painless, thanks to lip block and topical anesthetics Read Less

Absolutely wonderful experience. I first visited Laura 4 years ago to get my eyebrows and eyeliner done and just now went back to get brows retouched. Very personable and friendly and works in a nice, clean office. Love that she is a nurse-- injections of anesthetic are offered if you are nervous about pain. She does *gorgeous* work. Strong brows are "in" now and she created the exact shape that I wanted. I feel more confident than ever. Thank you, Laura!!! Loyal customer for life. Read Less

I selected this business specifically from the Yelp! reviews.I agree with the others who praised Laura for her expert artistry. Her office is gleaming clean, and it lends a relaxing air to the procedure.I've had my eyebrows tattooed in the past, but it fades over time. I am in my early-60s, and I wanted natural looking brows that I didn't need to pencil in every time I applied makeup. Because super-thin eyebrows were fashionable when I was in my 20's, my brows were over-plucked. A lot of the hairs simply did not fill back in.Laura's artistry was my solution. Her feather-stroke method looks gorgeous and natural. When I am ready to touch up my eyeliner and lips, I know that I will be visiting her again. Read Less

Laura is the best!  I had her touch up my previous make up and add a new tattoo on my lips.  I have to admit the lips hurt for days afterwards.  Laura made the healing part manageable with suggestions .  She is super knowledgeable and extremely nice.  It's wonderful that I don't have to deal with daily make up. I still go to her twice a month for eyelash extensions. Her work looks great.  I highly recommend her. Read Less

Laura is the best. She takes a great deal of time and care in crafting thr perfect brows for your face.  I had been wanting to do permanent brows for a long time and I'm so glad I went with Laura.  I did my brows 4 years ago and I have nothing but praise. As soon as I was finished with my session, I went to get some lunch and the girl behind the counter kept complimenting on my brows.  So many ppl have complimented my eyebrows. I tell them straight up that they are tattoos and alot of ppl don't believe me. They ask if they can come up close and really take a look. Many people ask me for Laura's number so they can get them done as well. :) Read Less

Best decision I could have made to have Laura tattoo my eyebrows! They look so natural. The day after getting them done I received several compliments...even had someone ask what I did differently cuz I looked 10 years younger. Love it! Read Less

I went to see Laura in October 2012...I needed some eyebrows! My eyebrows were very thin and I was so tired of drawing them on everyday. I was hesitant in going to get my eyebrows tattooed in the first place, I mean who really gets excited about getting their face tattooed? After doing some research online and reading reviews and such, I finally decided to go to MPI. I have to say it was a painful experience (because I can't take much pain), but the results were fabulous! If I had to do it all over again, I definitely would. My eyebrows look natural and they fit my face so perfectly. I would highly recommend going to MPI if you want eyebrows, but not the Sharpie marker kind like you see everyone else doing/getting. Laura's technique is different. I'm so glad that I chose MPI! Read Less
