Kelly Marino, Owner

Licensed Permanent Makeup Artist

My name is Kelly, and after undergoing a prophylactic double mastectomy, I faced the daunting challenge of finding a qualified permanent makeup (PMU) artist in New Mexico to perform 3D areola tattoos. Although it's widely accepted globally for PMU artists to provide this service, outdated and restrictive state regulations left me, and many others, with limited access to this crucial care. 

My journey began in corporate America, far removed from the tattoo and beauty industry. Yet, when I encountered the significant gap in care for individuals like myself, I knew I had to act. Understanding this need firsthand, I decided to attend training, earn my license, and devote myself to filling this void. Now, I am passionately committed to guiding others on their restorative journeys, helping them regain their confidence and embrace their renewed identity.

At Restoration Ink, our goal is to empower individuals on their journey of beauty, healing, and restoration. We strive to be a trusted partner in the healthcare community, providing artistic and precise paramedical and cosmetic tattooing services that enhance our clients’ lives. Through our expertise, compassion, and attention to detail, we help individuals rediscover their confidence and sense of self.  We envision a future where paramedical tattoos are recognized as a valuable and integral part of the restorative process, bringing comfort, hope, and empowerment to those we serve.
