About Nicki Engebretsen, Tattoo Specialist
Nicki Engebretsen’s passion for permanent makeup began 20 plus years ago while working with renowned makeup artist Thomas DeLeeuw – whose many Hollywood clients included Raquel Welch. Nicki became a nationally certified pharmacy technician and specialized in diabetes care. She soon found her medical background and talent for makeup artistry were a perfect combination. In 2005 she trained at Permanent Choices in Northern California. This began her career combining her knowledge of health, safety and care with her passion for makeup and beauty. Nicki has participated in the production of various training videos. She has trained and demonstrated technique at the top industry conventions. Nicki apprenticed under Michele Little and has become one of San Diego’s leading permanent makeup technicians. She recently became certified in 3D areola tattooing; trained by the internationally recognized Vicki Martin in London England. Her work speaks for itself.
