MICROPIGMENTATION SPECIALIST

Marie Wells, MPH

Marie is a licensed tattoo artist and founder of A Plus Pigmentation Clinic.

She has a bachelor’s degree in biology from Florida A&M University and a master’s degree in public health from the University of Florida with a background in visual art. Although Marie’s studies in fine art, design, and color theory used paint on canvas to transform the human body, she discovered a new canvas after learning about permanent makeup. Blending her art and science skills allowed her to bring about a perfect marriage of her two passions.

Her background in biochemistry and molecular biology serves as an excellent foundation to build on when examining the effects of different pigments on various skin types. It allows her to assess the needs of each individual client and provide the best-suited service for his/her desired results. Having managed science laboratories in previous roles, she takes environmental health seriously and strictly adheres to bloodborne pathogens safety guidelines.

When she began her career in permanent makeup, she initially set out on this path to help women save time getting ready in the morning and to help with thinning, sparse or overplucked brows. She found that her clients felt instantly more confident when leaving the initial session. Over time she quickly realized she had a knack for helping the aging population as well as clients with alopecia and cancer survivors.
