TESTIMONIALS
"I love her work! She takes her time, keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure. She is the best!"
- Karen S., Bonita Springs
"It is a glorious feeling to be cancer free after a double mastectomy. The breast reconstruction was not complete until Laurie, of Elegant Ink, was recommended to me. She is an artist with a medical background and extraordinarily talented. Matching pigment, drawing/marking the outline of the areola, before beginning the tedious process of tattooing nipples which are three-dimensional. Physically and emotionally I AM A WOMAN AGAIN"
-Dr. Jean W., Fort Myers
"I was informed by my Doctor about areola/tattooing of a nipple. I was given Laurie's phone number and I called. She was very kind and considerate. She is an outstanding artist who had shown me so much compassion and took her time to explain and show me exactly what the procedure would entail. It has been almost a year since I had this procedure done, and it was probably the best decision I could have made for me. Laurie is a caring human being, who is a perfectionist and is not satisfied until you are!"
- Melanie R., Fort Myers
"Laurie is the first person to really understand my curly hair. She turns my curls into art, I love the haircuts she gives me!"
- Beth S., Fort Myers
"I was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in March 2016. I was told I could have a lumpectomy but I chose a double mastectomy with reconstruction. My surgeon and plastic surgeon were awesome and I recovered quickly and was back at work in weeks. My co-workers are like family and they gave me a git certificate for Three Dimensional Areolar restoration/tattooing. I honestly thought I didn't need it; my husband and I were fine with how I looked but I called Laurie to set up and initial appointment (this was a year post op) and we talked about the procedure and what to expect.
I immediately trusted Laurie and was very comfortable with her. I have to say that the areolar restoration made a huge difference in how I looked! It gave a reference point to my new breasts. I am so happy with the results and I cant't say enough about Laurie and her gift of making me feel whole again. She is very kind, I always felt very comfortable with her during the procedure and the procedure did not hurt! I have definition to my breasts that I never had after the surgery. I am thankful to Laurie.
I spent a lot of time with Laurie during the restoration and I am pretty chatty. We spoke about lots of things but I was ready for a change in hairdressing. I had chemo x 4 doses and my hair grew back very curly; something I was not used to. I decided to ask Laurie to do my hair. She gave me highlights, low lights, covered my grew and cut my hair. It came out wonderful and it is an easy style for me to maintain. Laurie is my hairdresser now! She is very talented, has many gifts that she has been given. I just love her and her sweet spirit.
Thank you for the opportunity to tell my story."
