About Us
Susannah-Owner, Stylist, PMU Artist
Welcome to Smashing Violet Studio!
With over 25 years in the beauty industry, I bring a diverse range of expertise to every client, including not olny speciality hair color services, Brazillian blow-out services, tape-in extensions I have professional theatrical and beauty cosmetic training, French haircutting techniques, permanent makeup artistry, artful healing tattooing and more.
In 2018, I expanded my knowledge at True Life Canvas Academy in Coeur d’Alene, ID, specializing in permanent cosmetics like eyebrows, eyeliner, lip blushing, and 3D areola tattooing and more.
As a dedicated beauty artist, I am committed to staying ahead of trends through continued education, ensuring that I offer the latest styles and techniques.
My recent certifications include Micro Scalp Pigmentation (tattoo hair filler) and “LIFT,” a non-laser, digital tattoo removal. Whatever your beauty needs may be, I look forward to working with you and providing exceptional service!

Artful Healing of Paramedical Tattooing
Tattoos With a Purpose
Paramedical tattooing is an advanced cosmetic tattooing technique used to restore the appearance of skin that has been affected by surgery, trauma, or medical conditions. At Smashing Violet Studio, this highly specialized service is offered with artistry, precision, and deep care for each client’s healing journey.
Susannah provides a range of paramedical tattooing services, including:
- 3D Areola & Nipple Restoration – Ideal for breast cancer survivors after mastectomy or breast reconstruction, this technique recreates the natural look of an areola and nipple using light, shadow, and custom-blended pigments for a realistic, three-dimensional effect.
- Scar Camouflage – Designed to reduce the visibility of surgical, injury, or trauma-related scars, including those from tummy tucks, facelifts, C-sections, or joint replacement.
- Stretch Mark Blending – Helps blend stretch marks into surrounding skin by carefully matching your natural skin tone.
- Cleft Lip & Skin Graft Correction – Restores color and symmetry to areas affected by congenital conditions or medical procedures.
- Vitiligo Blending (in select cases) – For small, stable areas of pigment loss, tattooing can help reduce contrast with surrounding skin.
Each session begins with a thorough consultation to understand your needs, goals, and medical history. Susannah works with sensitivity, confidentiality, and a deep respect for your story—creating results that not only look beautiful but also feel empowering
