Permanent makeup in Atlanta
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics operates from Atlanta's residential Sandy Springs area, one of several pockets across the metro where permanent makeup demand has concentrated. The studio's menu runs wider than most in the city - Eyebrow Tattoo, Eyeliner Tattoo, Lip Tattoo, Areola Tattoo, Scalp Micropigmentation, Saline Tattoo Removal, and Scar Camouflage Tattoo, plus permanent makeup training for aspiring artists - which puts it among the more comprehensive PMU providers serving Atlanta. Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics carries a 4.9★ rating and 188 Google reviews, with a second review base on Yelp adding further signal. The studio identifies as Asian-owned, women-owned, LGBTQ+ friendly, and a transgender safe space and takes bookings online, details that matter to Atlanta clients choosing where to book. Its artist holds directory-verified SPCP membership, a credential relatively few Atlanta PMU studios can point to.
What these procedures are
Eyebrow Tattoo+
Eyebrow tattoo - the umbrella for permanent brow procedures (microblading, nano, powder, and combination brows) - reshapes, defines, and fills the brows with semi-permanent pigment. The right technique depends on your skin type, the look you want, and your artist's recommendation.
All brow procedures are completed across an initial session and a touch-up, and typically last one to three years.
Eyeliner Tattoo+
Eyeliner tattoo (also called permanent eyeliner or lash-line enhancement) deposits pigment along the lash line to make the lashes look denser and the eyes more defined - from a subtle tightline that simply deepens the lash base to a fuller, more visible liner.
Most results are completed in one to two sessions and last one to three years, softening gradually as they fade.
Lip Tattoo+
Lip tattoo (also called lip blush) is a semi-permanent tattoo that adds soft, natural color and definition to the lips - evening out tone, enhancing shape, and giving a tinted-balm finish without daily lipstick.
It's built over two sessions and generally lasts two to four years. Healed color settles softer and more natural than it looks immediately after the appointment.
Areola Tattoo+
Areola tattoo (areola restoration) is a specialized paramedical procedure that recreates the look of a natural areola - most often as part of recovery after breast surgery. It restores color, dimension, and definition.

Typical Atlanta ranges for guidance - confirm exact prices with Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics.
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics prices its full service menu at consultation rather than from a published rate card - the norm among Atlanta PMU studios, since the actual cost of eyebrow tattoo depends on the shape and detail you want, the condition of any prior work, and the artist's time. Across the metro, a complete eyebrow tattoo result (the initial session plus the touch-up that finishes it) typically lands somewhere between the low hundreds and the low thousands, with brow work generally at the lower end of that spread and specialist or paramedical procedures running higher. Given the studio's 4.9★ track record, the number Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics quotes you after a consultation is the one to plan around - figures found elsewhere, including the typical ranges above, are a starting point for that conversation, not a substitute for it.
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics: FAQs
What permanent makeup services does Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics offer?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics offers Eyebrow Tattoo, Eyeliner Tattoo, Lip Tattoo, Areola Tattoo, Scalp Micropigmentation, Saline Tattoo Removal, and Scar Camouflage Tattoo, and also runs permanent makeup training for artists looking to enter the field. Having several procedures under one roof means you can discuss more than one option at a single consultation and let the artist recommend what actually suits your skin, rather than choosing the technique before you've been assessed. As with any PMU studio, the specific techniques offered and their availability can change, so it's worth confirming directly with Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics before you book, especially if you're after something outside this core list. PMUBook's listing reflects the most recent service information we have on file.
How do I book an appointment at Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics accepts online bookings, which is the fastest way to secure a slot - you can see available times and reserve directly without waiting for a call back. If the time you want isn't showing, or you have questions about which procedure is right for you before committing, it's still worth contacting the studio directly; most Atlanta artists are happy to talk through options ahead of a booking. For any procedure that's new to you, expect the studio to want a short consultation first (sometimes folded into the same visit) to check your skin, discuss the look you want, and confirm you're a good candidate.
What days is Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics open?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics is open 4 days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday). Because permanent makeup studios often run by appointment rather than walk-in hours, the listed days indicate when the studio operates rather than guaranteed walk-in availability - booking ahead is strongly recommended regardless of which day you're aiming for. Hours can also shift seasonally or around holidays, so if you're planning a visit for a specific date, it's worth confirming current hours directly with the studio rather than relying solely on the schedule shown here, which reflects our most recent data pull. If you need an appointment outside the usual window - an early morning slot before work, for instance - it's worth asking directly, since some artists accommodate that on a case-by-case basis even when it's not part of their standard schedule.
PMUBook is owned and operated by Profile AI LLC, 1209 Mountain Road Pl NE #5691, Albuquerque, NM 87110, USA
It is typically completed over one to two sessions by an artist trained in paramedical work.
Scalp Micropigmentation+
Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) replicates the look of tiny hair follicles to create the appearance of a closely shaved head or added density through thinning areas. It mimics hair - it does not regrow it - and is a cosmetic solution for the look of hair loss.
SMP is usually built across two to four sessions and can last several years with periodic maintenance.
Saline Tattoo Removal+
Saline tattoo removal lightens or erases unwanted permanent makeup - old, dark, discolored, or misshapen brows, eyeliner, or lip work. Saline removal tattoos a salt-based solution into the area to lift pigment out as it heals; laser removal uses targeted light to break pigment down for the body to clear.
Both work gradually over several sessions spaced weeks apart. Often the goal is simply to lighten old work enough for a fresh, corrective result to be applied over a cleaner base.
Permanent Makeup Training+
Permanent makeup training teaches the theory and hands-on skills needed to work as a PMU artist - skin and color theory, brow mapping, machine and needle technique, hygiene and bloodborne-pathogen safety, consultation, and aftercare. Foundation courses welcome beginners; advanced courses add specific techniques like lip, eyeliner, or correction.
Strong courses combine classroom or online theory with supervised practice on synthetic skin and live models, and prepare you for the separate licensing and certification your state or county requires before you can take clients.
Scar Camouflage Tattoo+
Scar camouflage tattoo (also called paramedical or skin camouflage) tattoos skin-tone pigment into mature scars and stretch marks to blend them with the surrounding skin. It's detailed paramedical work - the artist matches your skin tone and builds color slowly across several sessions.
It suits flat, stable scars and stretch marks that are lighter than your skin and at least a year old; raised, red, or very new marks aren't suitable. A consultation and patch test confirm whether it's right for you.
What payment methods does Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics accept?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics accepts credit cards and debit cards. Most permanent makeup studios, including this one, ask for a deposit at the time of booking to hold your appointment slot, with the balance due on the day - so it's worth asking what deposit Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics requires and whether it's refundable if your plans change. If you're paying by a specific method not listed here, or need to know about payment plans for a more expensive procedure like eyebrow tattoo, confirm directly with the studio before your appointment so there are no surprises when you arrive. It's also worth asking about their cancellation and rescheduling policy at the same time you confirm payment details, since PMU appointments are typically booked well in advance and studios vary on how much notice they require.
Is Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics accessible and inclusive?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics identifies as Asian-owned, women-owned, LGBTQ+ friendly, and a transgender safe space, and the listing notes wheelchair-accessible features (entrance and/or parking, depending on the studio's setup). For LGBTQ+ clients in particular, that kind of explicit welcome - rather than an assumption - can make choosing a studio easier, and it's the sort of detail worth confirming still applies if it matters to your decision. As with all attributes on this page, confirm anything critical to your visit directly with Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics, since physical layouts and policies can change. If you have a specific mobility, sensory, or communication need that isn't covered by the categories above, most studios are glad to plan around it if you flag it when you book rather than on arrival.
How much do services cost at Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics has not published set prices for eyebrow tattoo or its other services - this is common among Atlanta PMU studios, where the artist prefers to quote after seeing your skin and discussing what you want, since the work involved (and therefore the price) genuinely varies from client to client. Broadly, Atlanta permanent makeup pricing for a complete result - the initial session plus a touch-up - tends to run from the low hundreds into four figures depending on the procedure and its complexity, but that's a citywide range, not a quote for this studio. Contact Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics directly for current pricing on eyebrow tattoo, eyeliner tattoo, lip tattoo, areola tattoo, scalp micropigmentation, saline tattoo removal, and scar camouflage tattoo.
How is Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics rated by clients?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics holds a 4.9★ rating from 188 Google reviews, plus a further 4.5★ from 21 reviews on Yelp. A review count in that range is on the higher side for an independent Atlanta PMU studio, which generally means the rating reflects a broad, sustained pattern of client experience rather than a handful of early reviewers. PMUBook shows the blended rating across every platform we track for a business, not just Google, so the figure above reflects the fullest picture we have, rather than any single platform in isolation. When comparing studios, a strong rating is a good starting filter, but it's worth pairing it with a look at the portfolio and, ideally, a few of the more detailed recent reviews rather than relying on the star figure alone.
Where is Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics located?
Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics is based in the Sandy Springs area of Atlanta, GA. Sandy Springs is one of several neighbourhoods across the metro with an established cluster of beauty and personal-care businesses, which makes it a reasonably convenient stop if you're already in or near that part of the city. If you're coming from elsewhere in Atlanta, it's worth checking the studio's exact address and any parking notes on this listing before you head over, and confirming drive time if you're booking around a tight schedule - permanent makeup appointments typically run one to two hours, longer for more involved procedures, so allow time on both ends.
Does Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics offer permanent makeup training?
Yes - alongside its client-facing studio work, Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics runs permanent makeup training for people looking to become PMU artists themselves. Training programs typically cover skin and color theory, machine or hand-tool technique, hygiene and bloodborne-pathogen safety, and supervised practice before you're ready to take paying clients, though the exact curriculum, length, and cost vary by provider - contact Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics directly for their specific course details, schedule, and pricing. Being both a working studio and a training provider can be a good sign for prospective students, since it means the instruction is grounded in an artist's own active client practice rather than teaching alone. If you're a client rather than a prospective student, note that some studios use trainee time separately from client appointments, so booking channels may differ.
Does Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics's artist hold any professional certifications?
Yes. Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics's artist holds directory-verified membership with the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP), confirmed directly against the awarding body's official member directory rather than a self-reported claim. SPCP is one of the longest-running professional associations in the permanent cosmetics industry, and membership generally signals an artist who engages with the field's professional and educational community beyond day-to-day client work. A credential like this doesn't replace looking at healed portfolio work or reading recent reviews, but it's a useful additional signal when you're comparing Atlanta artists, and it's the kind of detail worth asking any studio about directly if you don't see it listed.
What should I ask before booking with Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics?
A short consultation - whether by phone, message, or in person - is the best way to get real answers before you commit. Worth asking: how many years they've worked in eyebrow tattoo, whether they can show healed (not just fresh, day-of) results on skin similar to yours, what the appointment and touch-up schedule looks like, what their deposit and cancellation policy is, and how they handle correcting or adjusting previous PMU work if that applies to you. It's also reasonable to ask directly about hygiene practices - single-use needles and a clean, dedicated workspace are the baseline you should expect from any licensed Atlanta studio. Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics's PMUBook profile lists their services, ratings, and contact details so you can prepare specific questions before you reach out, rather than starting from scratch.
Is eyebrow tattoo safe at a studio like Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics?
Performed by a licensed, properly trained artist in a clean, regulated studio, eyebrow tattoo is a well-established, low-risk cosmetic procedure - the same is true of any permanent makeup work. Georgia regulates permanent makeup as body art statewide, requiring artists to hold a Department of Public Health Body Artist Certification and work in a permitted studio using single-use sterile needles. The real risk factors are unlicensed or undertrained operators, unclean equipment, or an artist who skips a proper consultation - none of which are specific to any one studio, but all worth checking for wherever in Atlanta you book. If you have particular skin sensitivities, allergies, or a relevant medical history, raise it with Anna Burns Permanent Cosmetics at the consultation stage so they can plan safely and, if needed, suggest a patch test first.
