Ink by Tracy Master PMU & Paramedical Tattoo Artist | Tracy McCarty Hi Everyone! I'm a wife, mom and mamaw who at the age of 50 started a brand new career!

My background is art, particularly portraits, but I've never worked in an art field...until NOW! Add that to my time in Mary Kay as a Pink Cadillac Director, and you find a great formula for a permanent makeup artist. I am certified in multiple areas and offer microblading, powder brows, combo brows, various styles of permanent eyeliner, scar camouflage, stretchmark & scar rejuvination, and permanent makeup lightening. My specialty is natural-looking permanent makeup. Come see me for a FREE consultation in our beautiful newly renovated salon & spa where my entire family now works providing various services. It is truly a one-stop shop for rest & relaxation!!

PMU is a process — not a one-day event.✨
You didn’t get here overnight, and beautiful, natural results don’t happen overnight either.

Yes, you’ll see immediate, amazing results! But your PMU will go through a healing phase where the color, intensity, and tone will soften and settle as your skin heals. 🌿

That’s why your 6–12 week touch-up is essential — it’s where we refine, perfect, and lock in your final results.

Trust the process. The results are worth it.💙✨

Hi, I’m Tracy

I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself—especially for those who are new here, and for my incredible clients who have been part of this amazing journey. 🌿

I’m so grateful that I get to do something I truly love 💕, and even more grateful that I get to give back through my artistry—creating natural, realistic results whether that’s enhancing eyes, designing detailed hairstroke brows, camouflaging scars, or creating 3D areolas you’d never know were tattooed.

I originally opened under the name Viva Life Studio in 2023, and then received the even bigger blessing of moving into my eldest daughter’s salon, 🌲Northern Pines Salon & Spa🌲. Now I get to work alongside her, my youngest daughter (an esthetician & nail artist), my massage therapist husband, and two other service providers who are truly like daughters to me.

As a mom to two grown daughters—and now a mamaw—I understand how quickly life moves. That’s why it’s so important to me to create a space where you can pause, breathe, refresh, and truly take care of yourself during our time together. This is YOUR time.

Thank you for trusting me, and for allowing me to help you feel renewed, confident, and beautiful. ✨

From faded red brows to fresh confidence!

After having her old PMU removed, this beautiful client was finally ready for natural hair strokes again — and microblading brought her brows back to life.

Soft, realistic, and perfectly her.

Sometimes the biggest transformations are the most quiet. 🌹

There’s a lot more to permanent brows than most people realize.

Microblading, Powder Brows, Nano Strokes, Hybrid…

They all create beautiful results — but they use different tools, techniques, and heal differently.

In this first video, I’m giving a quick overview of each brow style so you can start to understand the differences and see which one might fit your face, your routine, and your personal style.

Over the next few videos, I’ll go deeper into each method — how it’s done, what it looks like healed, and who it’s best suited for.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Would microblading work for me?” or “What’s the difference between powder brows and nanostrokes?” — this series is for you.

✨ Your brows should be custom art, never one-size-fits-all.

Stay tuned — it’s about to get really helpful!

There’s something powerful about enhancing both brows and eyes — it changes the entire expression.

This client came in wanting to simplify her mornings, so we created:
✨ Combo Brows – microblading hair strokes with soft powder shading
✨ Classic Eyeliner – upper & lower for a clean, defined lash line

Now? She wakes up looking refreshed, polished, and ready. No makeup bag required.

If you’ve been considering brows or eyeliner (or both!), a free consultation is the perfect place to start. Let’s create something made just for YOU! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️
