Vixen Ink Award Winning Tatas! | Inspired by Ms Amber Red

What’s it like being one of the only women cosmetic tattoo artists walking into a heavily male-dominated tattoo convention? Let’s talk about it!

In this episode of the Inspired Podcast, Ms Amber Red and Sasha sit down with special guest Michelle from Vixen Ink & Beauty for a hilarious, inspiring, and real conversation about the evolving world of permanent makeup, tattooing, and female artists making waves in the industry.

We dive into:
👉 What Michelle has been building inside the PMU industry and how she’s growing her brand
👉 Our recent experiences attending separate Tattoo Fest conventions in different states—and why both experiences completely exceeded expectations and grew our business'
👉 The reality of being among the only women cosmetic tattooers in rooms packed with traditional tattoo artists
👉 How attending tattoo conventions can massively benefit your confidence, networking, artistry, and business growth as a PMU artist

And yes… we also talk about Michelle winning an award for her incredibly realistic areola tattoo work—which led to the now-iconic joke that someone officially has “award-winning titties.” 😂🏆

This episode is equal parts educational, empowering, and unfiltered chaos in the best way possible. If you’re a permanent makeup artist, tattoo artist, beauty entrepreneur, or creative woman trying to break into spaces not traditionally built for you—this one’s for you.

💬 Leave us a review and tell us: Would YOU ever attend a tattoo convention as a PMU artist? We want to hear your thoughts.
