I recently visited Marge for the second time for a touch-up of my permanent make-up she did 7 years ago. Then as now, her skills are incredible and her demeanor professional, calming and sincere. I could not be more pleased nor recommend her more highly. And she is in a new location that is delightful. read more

As a breast cancer survivor, all you want to do is have some sort of normalcy returned. Our brains are programmed to see ourselves a certain way and a mastectomy is an amputation. It's insult to injury if you lose your nipples during this process. After 7 surgeries, 5 months of chemo and 2 months of daily radiation, getting my 3D nipple tattoos was not only something I wanted, but it also symbolized the end of my active journey with cancer. Marge was recommended to me by my Reconstruction Surgeon (who had herself had Marge do her perfect eyebrows) and I am SO glad she was. Marge has a personal passion for restoring her Clients confidence through her art and exhibits a commitment to excellent results. She takes her responsibility to her Clients very seriously and you can tell she truly cares. I would absolutely recommend her to any of my friends, loved ones and fellow survivors. read more

Last Nov, I was visiting from NY, and decided to get my eyebrows re-done and darken the top eyeliner a bit. I managed to get an appointment because Marge happen to have a cancellation. She is very skilled and knowledgeable about these procedures. She took great care and did a great job. I would say that my hesitancy may have held her back a bit but better safe than sorry. I did have a bit of sticker shock as I had it done almost 5 years before in NYC for a fraction of the price. Marge is also a very kind and caring person. Gave great aftercare directions and a small care package. read more

Marge is such a sweet genius! Her care and talent for what she does is immensely impressive. (Her prices are also fair ) I highly recommend her. read more

I met Marge back in 2012. My step daughter was getting married and I did like nor knew how to apply makeup. I went to the YSL counter at Neiman Marcus. Marge was the makeup artist there at the counter that day. She applied my make up to make me feel comfortable and walked me through every step in order for me to duplicate what she had done. I've had makeup done before, but it was always what they wanted to do and what products the makeup artist was trying to promote or sell. Marge went to different makeup counters to find me the products I would use and be comfortable wearing. In addition she introduced me to skin products that are great for my skin. Marge listens and works with you with what you want and what you need. She makes suggestions but is never pushy. It's now 6 years since I've met Marge, and I trust her in whatever she recommends or does. She's also has an amazing personality and a passion for what she does. read more

Not only is Marge the most sweet and kind woman ever, she gave me INCREDIBLE brows! She is so talented at what she does and really took the time to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted. From start to finish, she made the process relaxing and easy. Additionally - I couldn't be happier with my brows! They look full and defined and compliment my face perfectly. If you're even considering Microblading, go see Marge for a consultation! read more

Of course I was nervous to get my eyebrows micro bladed. It's my face and if the artist doesn't have experience and skills.... But Miss Marge was amazing with her knowledge and talent. I felt comfortable in very more than capable experienced hands. I am recommending her to all my friends. I am very satisfied with my results. read more

Marge is the best! I had microblading done by Marge and I couldn't be happier! She is so compassionate and comforting. Also, very informative about the procedure. Highly recommend to anyone considering any type of cosmetic tattooing! read more

I've known Marge Gomez as a markup artist of the utmost integrity. Her work was always appropriate to the person. Taking into consideration the lifestyle and ascetics of each woman individually, Marge would make all of us look beautiful When she decided to go into "healing ink"; I was curious about what she was doing. I'm a woman who rarely wears makeup, but who likes to feel good about myself when I do. Marge's work on my eyebrows was wonderful. Being very blond/ grey.. she chose a light taupe for me. This gave subtle emphasis without overpowering my face when I am makeup free. They look so natural that no one can tell they are tattooed. I highly recommend Marge for all of these reasons. You could not find a woman who cared more to help you get exactly what you need from this experience. read more

Marge is an artist first of all and then she is skilled in many areas of beauty. She did my eyebrows and wish I had that done a long time ago. They are perfect! She also taught me new ways to do my makeup. I'm looking the best I have ever looked! Also skilled in stage and production makeup, Marge is such an asset to Austin. I highly recommend Marge for makeup counseling and permanent makeup. She is an artist and professional. Cheri Lomonte read more

I highly recommend Marge as a talented makeup artist and advocate for women. She is a great listener and passionate about supporting all people, whoever they are, in feeling good about themselves. So grateful for her work. read more

Love my brows!! Marge gave my uneven thinning brows new life. Created a natural arch, symmetry, and fullness that took years off. Great at what she does...she's also lots of fun and very caring. Will post a photo once they are healed. Super positive experience. Thanks Marge. read more

Simply put, Marge is AMAZING. I found Marge via her ad on Next Door, and I was hesitant to say the least to get microbladed. She made the process incredibly easy and walked me through every step of the way, which was really appreciated! She took her time to map out where she would be tattooing, and did not start or get frustrated when I asked her (about 30 times) to reshape. Marge was extremely cognizant while she worked and explained everything and talked to me throughout the whole process, which made the time go by so quickly. Since she also has done the microblading to herself, she's also aware of the pain level and consistently checked in with where I was at for pain. Typically, you are supposed to wait about six weeks before you go for your touch up, but I healed so quickly thanks to her guidance and diligent work and was able to get my touch up about three weeks after my initial appointment. I can not say enough great things about Marge and her process, and I look forward to getting a few more things done by this wonderful gal! Thanks again, Marge!! read more

If you are looking for a true artist for microblading, Marge is beyond amazing and is also a perfectionist, (which is what you want). The shape, color and artistry couldn't look more natural! Five stars and beyond happy with my brows. I am so glad I did my research and chose Marge and her studio. Update: my boyfriend also had his brows microbladed. He loves them. What a difference. He looks younger. read more

Margo is a magician! She's an artist and she really listens and observes before beginning the process. I went to her for brow microblading and I'm super happy with the results. I've had my brows tatooed before. It was super painful and the results were uninspiring. Marge made the procedure practically painless. I'm thrilled with the results. Plus, just being with her was enjoyable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat for her adorableness and for the care with which she works! read more

Back for my touchup today on my eyeliner and once again Marge made magic happen. She is wonderful in every way - as a permanent makeup artist, as a spiritual person to talk to, as a kind friend and makeup consultant, and just as a lovely person. But mostly because - and yes, this is selfish - but my eyeliner looks super! Thanks, Marge - you do super work and I love ya! read more

Everything was ideal! Marge is so engaging; professional yet warm, self assured but also perceptive. I had waited for years to have my eyeliner done and was relived that I felt fully confident in her style. I had a vague I idea of what I wanted and like most people, I wanted two things- for it to look natural and for it to be noticeable, to me.... She suggested her ideas and I was grateful because, by the time she made the suggestions, I was relaxed and I also felt secure, in trusting her professional experience. The procedure doesn't hurt so much as it is stressful but she talked to me intermittently, letting me know where we were in the process, how it was going etc. It has only been a couple of days, but it looks wonderful! She put the ink in between the lashes, underneath, to strengthen the lash line, her idea, and also, a lighter color (I've got blue eyes) on the lash line, atop the lid. Awesome and Happy!! read more

Marge's goal is and has been to help women to look their best and feel their best. She encourages you to strive for new levels of confidence. She taps into your inner beauty and luminously brings it to your exterior. She touches everyone that she encounters. I had the privilege to go to her grand opening to preview her space for her new adventure. "Healing Ink Studio". The space is warm and inviting, private without being hidden. Though I have only had makeovers and helpful tips from Marge, her mircroblaing technique is flawless! read more

Marge is Awesome!! Took my mom who wanted her eyebrows microbladed. Marge explained the full process and how to properly take care of your brows after having procedure done. After speaking to Marge my mom decided it was not for her and her lifestyle right now. But Marge did not complain or become upset. Not once did she make us feel like we wasted her time. She was completely understanding and so helpful. She actually even showed my mom different eyebrow shapes that would fit and frame her face nicely. After such a great experience I would definitely recommend Marge!! She will be completely open and honest. read more

Marge did an amazing job on my brows. Was very meticulate and made sure color would be a match! Making sure it was painless! Explained the process from start to finish and I am very happy with my result. Can't wait to go back in 4 weeks for touch -up read more

Wanted to get my brows microbladed for a long time now and finally did it! Marge was amazing! My brows look fantastic! It didn't hurt and the healing process went by fast. Now I can spend less time in the morning on my brows and makeup!! read more

Healing Ink Studio WOW!!! From the moment you enter Marge's studio you just feel at peace and Marge is a gracious host. She is very through to make sure that both you and she know exactly what you want and what you are going to get from the service. I had eyebrow microblading which as most people know is somewhat of a permanent thing so you definitely want it right. Marge drew with eye pencil on each eyebrow two different looks so I could get an idea of what she thought would be a good look for me and what she and I had been discussing and she was right. Her drawing was better and I went with that eyebrow. Shortly after that I went home to L.A. and was visiting one of my favorite makeup shops in Burbank, Cinema Secrets. While I was shopping and of course talking, I was complemented by the makeup artists on them and how natural they look. I have had several other complements which is so awesome because my eyebrows have been so thin and I can't draw a straight line to save my life so filling them in with pencil myself was never going to happen. I once had a makeup artist on a set that I was working on where I had asked for assistance when doing my own makeup mention to me that my makeup was great, I had good color and blending but my eyebrows needed some help. Well, I may not be on set any longer but if (and when I do go back again someday) they will look fabulous because of Marge! I want to go back and have her do my lips. Nothing drastic, just so it looks like I have lipgloss on all the time cause NOTHING stays on my lips. No matter what the advertisement says. If you have been wanting to get microblading done but have been too afraid because of the permanence, don't hesitate any longer. Call, message or email Marge right away. I looked this up on her website so you would have the info!! Healing Ink Studio is inside the BELLA SALON at 1221 West 6th Street, Austin, Texas 78703.

I went to see Marge for microblading this week and could not have had a better experience. She has created a serene and sacred space for women to become their best selves. I was there for a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance my exterior, but I have to say that it was my gooey emotional core that was touched most by my experience with Marge. From start to finish, every interaction with Marge felt empowering. She communicated efficiently with me to schedule our appointment; I really appreciated that she demonstrated flexibility to work with my complicated work and travel schedule. Additionally, she gave me very specific instructions to prepare and was extremely transparent about what to expect from the appointment itself with regard to pain, aftercare, and needs for a touch up in about a month. I was very nervous about microblading. However, I think the results are going to change my life. As a middle-aged woman, I was going eyebrow-bald, and it was a big knock to my self-esteem. I felt like I couldn't go out without makeup on. That's no longer the case. Marge created beautiful, full brows that match my face perfectly. Her process involved custom mixing a pigment that matches my actual hair color, painstakingly measuring and re-measuring and drawing to create the perfect frame for my eyes, carefully designing the shape and arch, and then gently working through the microblading procedure itself, using lots and lots of numbing cream. I was thrilled with the process, and I do love the results. I am delighted to recommend Marge and Healing Ink Studio to everyone, without hesitation. read more

Marge was very caring and methodical in explaining the procedure, and what to expect. She uses a local anesthetic, and only once did I wince in a little pain. But it's all very tolerable. She took great care with measuring, and making sure that my UNeven eyebrows would look even. And she did a fantastic job! I will post photos in a couple of weeks after the pigment settles down! I highly recommend her. Her before and after pictures are amazing. Especially for over 60-year-olds who's eyebrows are getting lighter and less with age! read more

I come all the way from Denver, Colorado for Marge to do my eyebrows. They look so natural and actually make you appear to look so much younger! Great for hot summer days with no makeup. Marge is fabulous at eyebrows and a fantastic person. read more

I had the pleasure of running into Marge at Ulta. I was seeking a make up fix to lighten my dark eyebrows. My goal was to lighten my brow so that my eyes would pop. She is amazing at both make up and suggestions on what to do about my overly dark brows. It's clear that she is passionate, as well as, mucho talented ! read more
