Curative Ink

Founders — 2025 Edition

Company Overview

Curative Ink is a licensed Permanent Makeup, Paramedical Tattoo, and Body Art small business located in Murrieta, California just outside of Temecula Valley. Curative Ink bridges artistry and paramedical esthetics combining safe and sanitary technique, artistic precision, and compassionate restorative esthetic services.

In addition to creating amazing brows and cute decorative tattoos, we help improve certain types of alopecia, pigmentation issues, stretch marks, and scars. 

Using specialized techniques and inks, we can restore, improve texture, or camouflage what cannot be fully restored.

We also provide post-operative tattooing services, including areola restoration and 3D nipple tattooing for breast reconstruction patients, as well as scalp micropigmentation (SMP) to recreate the appearance of natural hair density and restore confidence after hair loss.
