Shonna's Customer Reviews
"Highly recommend! Shonna does the best work! She did scar camouflage on some scars I was very self-conscious about. It's wonderful not to have to hide them anymore. She's also a kind and understanding person. 😊"
Shannon DScar Camo
"Very professional and great staff. They took great care to make me feel comfortable in doing the areola tattoos, always making sure I was in no pain and that I was at ease at each stage. Highly recommend for this type of procedure!"
Sandra DAreola Restoration
"I don't have enough words to express how amazing these ladies are, and what an incredible experience I had training with them! They are incredibly supportive and welcoming. They answer all of your questions with no judgment or scrutiny, which as someone with anxiety, I appreciate! The training is thorough and they provide you with everything you need to get started and be successful. They are also happy and quick to answer any questions you have after the classes.
The studio itself is beautiful. The vibes and atmosphere are impeccable. Seriously, *chef's kiss*
You literally cannot get better than this! I flew all the way from Ohio to train with them. Trust me, it's well worth it! ❤"

"I recently completed the scar and stretch mark camouflage online course by Shonna @TheScarTattooer and I feel ready to take on the paramedical tattoo world! Her pigment recipes are precise and comprehensive while she still allows for the fact that there are basically unlimited combinations for skin colors.
I feel confident to start camouflage on a variety of scars with confidence and have my first case next week.
One of the most valuable tidbits she shared was how to determine when it is time to stop a procedure and allow for healing. This is not always covered at in person training, let alone online training. Overall I was very impressed with the course!"

"Shonna performed paramedical scar camo tattooing for me, at the Vancouver location. I enjoyed the atmosphere and environment, and felt at ease. Privacy was easily accomplished with curtain. My experience with scheduling was extraordinary - email, text, and phone correspondence at my convenience, every question answered, every factor attended to. Incredible support staff. The tattooing itself was super peaceful and easy - high-quality numbing agent meant it was also painless. I have a lot of decorative/artistic tattoos but no other cosmetic tattoos than this, so I wasn't prepared for the difference in experience - I absolutely loved working with Shonna! I was satisfied with the sterile field and hygienic practices I saw used in my presence. The tattoo machine she uses is nothing like the burly machines used on me in the past - it was quiet, quick, and felt truly delicate. I had two sessions with a consistent experience and high level of care at each. Shonna treated me with compassion and respect - a true "bedside manner" that reminded me of an amazing nurse in a medical facility. We had fun and giggles at both visits - and she assured me that if I felt like crying, that would be absolutely cool with her, too. I really appreciate the great service and I am very happy with the results of the scar camo tattoo work. My scars are WAY less obvious and more subtle now - blended to match my very pale ginger complexion with true color-match skill! I'm so thankful! If I ever need this type of service again - Shonna will be my go-to preferred artist! Thank you to everyone at Daela Cosmetic Tattoo - you have a lovely operation!"

"I’m an established PMU artist from Hawaii who wanted to add scar camouflaging to my list of services. I did lots of research and inquiring with other trainers/courses before I made my decision on who I would like to learn from. I chose Shonnas course because she had a lot of success stories on instagram, she offered tons of pigments mixtures and she offered on going support. Her course pretty much covers everything about scar camouflage and she’s very up front about who’s a good candidate for these types of services. I’m really happy with her course and I’m excited to start offering this service!"

"I have been to Daela for Freckles, scar camouflage and will be returning for lip blushing services. This talented bunch of boss women are THE BEST at what they do. Not only are they knowledgeable and highly skilled but they make everyone feel so welcomed and heard. Every woman has body hang ups and expectations when seeking out permanent/semi-permanent cosmetic procedures, I love that they explain what to expect during the healing process and the finished results. You're in good hands no matter who you see, but if you can squeeze yourself onto her schedule Lina is absolutely amazing!"

"If you're a paramedical tattoo artist, I promise this will be the best money you've EVER SPENT! It's time to stop buying everyone's course. Shonna's Scar Camouflage course is unlike any other course I've ever taken and it cover dark scars without having to buy extra expensive one size fits all pigments! Jam packed with information from recommended inks to a ton of recipes, you will be so glad you made this purchase! They say the best investment you can make is yourself, and in this case they were right!"

"Shonna at the Daela Cosmetic tattoo in Vancouver,Washington did a beautiful job of tattooing my areola after my breast cancer mastectomy. I was very reluctant to have a tattoo. My cancer nurse encouraged me to go to Shonna, who is the best! I’m so happy I listened because I love my tattoo❣️. Shonna is professional and warm and friendly and she is a perfectionist. I STRONGLY recommend her."
