Hi, I’m Mary — a wife, mum of two, and an NZ- and internationally-trained Paramedical Tattoo Artist. My background in Travel, Tourism, Sales, and Learning & Development has given me the privilege of connecting with people from all walks of life, shaping how I care for and support my clients.
My journey into paramedical tattooing comes from personal experience. As a teen, I struggled with stretch marks and discovered these transformative treatments when I was searching for a solution — they changed my confidence and inspired me to help others feel the same.
One story that deeply shaped my mission was of a student who worried her self-harm scars would stop her from achieving her dream of becoming a flight attendant. It showed me just how life-changing this work can be..
At Smooth Ink Studios, I use Nue Conceal, a leader in paramedical tattooing with medical-grade, advanced products. Their founder, Bianca, also of Filipino heritage inspired me with her story and innovation, and I’m proud to offer treatments with care, skill, and intention. I’ve also been recognised with the Rising Star award for my work in Inkless Scar Revision at the Industry Insiders conference.
As part of giving back, I donate a scar or stretchmark treatment to someone in need — because everyone deserves to feel confident in their skin
Thank you for exploring what we do here at Smooth Ink Studios. I look forward to helping you on your journey to confidence and healing.
