Important Update Regarding Numbing for Tattoo & PMU Services

The Oregon Health Licensing Office has issued a new rule stating that tattoo and permanent makeup (PMU) artists are no longer allowed to apply or sell numbing products to clients. This includes permanent cosmetic tattooing services such as brows and lips.

However, this does not mean you cannot use numbing.
Clients are still allowed to apply their own numbing products prior to their appointment.

Please rest assured—this change does not prevent you from receiving beautiful lip or brow tattoo services comfortably. I am committed to making this process as simple, accessible, and comfortable as possible for every client.

If you have any questions or concerns about how this new restriction affects your appointment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to guide you through your options.

📞 Call or text: 971-340-9983

While this change is outside of my control, I sincerely appreciate your understanding. Most importantly, you can feel confident that your comfort during the procedure will remain a top priority.

For Permanent Make Up (PMU) appointments, you will now need to purchase your numbing product in advance. Please use only the brand listed below. Using a different brand may affect your skin and could impact how the pigment heals and retains.
FOR LIPS
Click here -> Recommended Numbing Product (Lips Only): TKTX If you have any questions before purchasing, please reach out to confirm you are selecting the correct product.
FOR LIPS & EYEBROWS
Click here -> TAG45- LIPS AND BROWS Bella of course will give you tips on when to apply the numbing to ensure your comfort during the tattoo. The choice to purchase numbing before your appointment or decide to not get numbed is completely up to you. These new rules will take some time for us to get used to but overall will not change the beautiful brows and lips you wake up to every morning. Thank you all so much for sticking with me and allowing me to be your artist despite this challenge in our way.
______________________BY BOOKING AN ONLINE APPOINTMENT YOU AGREE TO ALL POLICIES.___________________

I urge all clients or fans of PMU to contact the state board in regards to this decision. PMU is completely different from body tattoos and should be considered differently in regards to numbing restrictions. As many of you know, the usage of numbing is ESSENTIAL and makes the process of cosmetic tattooing comfortable and accessible for those who want or need these services. Making it nearly impossible to do our jobs without. Please help our industry and clientele fight this new restriction by reaching out!
  • The board of body art practitioners Anne Thompson is and her email is [email protected]

Booking for December 2026 is now OPEN

My books open for scheduling on October 1 at 7pm for appointments for January 2027.

Bella has worked her magic on my brows (which needed a ton of help after over-tweezing in the 90s) and my lips. She is the most talented, skilled, gem of a human you will ever meet. She really cares about her clients, and works with you to get the best outcome possible. I will sing her praises from the mountaintops forever - don't hesitate to book with her!

I followed Bella for years on IG and finally got the nerve up to book my brow appointment. It was life changing. Brows truly define your face and I am so happy with mine now. I was really nervous (I have no other tattoos), but she honestly made it feel like the most relaxing experience. My only fear now is that she will move away 😂 if you have any questions, text her and she will give you allllll the information you need to feel confident in whatever decision you make.

Having tattooed brows has changed my life! If you’re considering getting cosmetic tattooing, I 100% recommend Bella. She’s incredibly easy to work with, hilarious, and does amazing work. I was really nervous about getting my brows done, but she made me feel so comfortable, not only as a client but just like we were old friends getting to catch up.

I’ve always been insecure about my brows, but Bella completely nailed my vision with my nanobrows. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, her work is so detailed, and she takes her time to make sure everything is perfect ✨ On top of that, she’s so sweet and fun that I never want to leave when my appointment is over. I can’t recommend her enough!

Bella is absolutely amazing at cosmetic tattooing. Her skill, technique, and attention to detail are truly top notch. My mom previously had a botched brow tattoo that had to be lasered off before starting over, and Bella completely transformed her brows. The results are beautiful and natural, and my mom is finally confident and happy with them again. Bella is incredibly talented at what she does, and you can tell she really cares about her work and her clients. I refer all of my clients to her, and every single one of them has loved their results. I can’t recommend her enough!

There's no one else I would trust to do my brows. She stays up-to-date on new methods, listens to what you want and/or are concerned about, and does an *amazing* job! I love my eyebrows and constantly get asked about them.

Just got my brows nano bladed and I am so so so so happy with them! I’ve struggled with having patchy brows and Bella totally transformed them! The entire experience was incredible from start to finish. She welcomed any and all questions and made me feel 100% comfortable.
