everybody deserves to feel beAUtiful and whole
Brooke is a paramedical and cosmetic tattoo artist passionate about helping breast cancer survivors feel whole again and simplifying women’s lives with cosmetic tattoos through beautiful, meticulous work.
Brooke is kind, caring and passionate about what she does! I went for the Nano technique on my eyebrows. She made me feel so relaxed and calm. She took the time to shape my eyebrows to the exact shape I needed. I had cancer cut out of my eyebrow so I was left with just half an eyebrow. Now, no one could ever tell! They look SO natural. I am in LOVE with my brows and would absolutely recommend Brooke for the Nano technique. I will not be hesitant to try her other services as well! Can’t wait!!💕

I’m a breast cancer survivor and Brooke did my 3D areola tattoos. She did a beautiful job and was so professional, kind, and empathetic. I’m still amazed at how realistic they look. I couldn’t be happier!

Nano brows
Nano brows is a newer, more advanced technique that produces the same hair stroke look as microblading. However, instead of using a blade to slice the skin, a machine with a single needle is used to delicately implant the hair strokes. This results in crispier hair strokes that last longer than microblading and is much gentler on the skin. Results last 2-3 years or longer.

about Brooke
Hi! My name is Brooke, owner of Brooke Kara Studio. I’m a certified medical and cosmetic tattoo artist based in Utah. I’m a wife and a mother to 4 sweet children (2 boys, 2 girls). My family and my faith are everything to me!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 32, which led me to this industry when I went in to get my brows done before beginning chemo. I became so fascinated with permanent makeup, and especially areola tattoos, that I began training in it and was blessed to be able to do an 8 month long apprenticeship learning all I could to provide top quality services to my clients.
My biggest focus, and favorite service to provide is areola tattoos. It is so fulfilling to be about to help other survivors and actually give something back to those who have had so much taken from them. It is so healing and provides the closure they deserve.
Thankyou for being here. I hope to meet you and help you in any capacity I can. Whether it be permanent makeup or areola. Or even just a resource to answer questions and a friend to discuss our breast cancer journies with together.💕

Aftercare & healing
Brows
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING HEALING
After the initial procedure your brows will appear almost perfect,
but this will change. Please be aware of the healing stages to avoid stressing about
your brows. Your brows will go through several stages where they will become
noticeably darker, then will become scabbed and itchy, and finally will almost disappear
(ghosting stage), before finally healing to between 50% and 70% of their original depth.
The stages depicted here are what should be expected.
Once you have gone through a full cycle of skin regeneration (4-6 weeks) most, but not all, of the pigment will remain.. It is necessary to schedule a perfecting session
(touch-up) to complete the process.
