hi, i’m maya cruse
I am a licensed tattoo artist specializing in brows, eyeliner, lip blush + lip neutralization, freckles and removal, based in Niles, Ohio. I have over 10 certifications in training for brows, eyeliner, lips, freckles and saline removal.
In 2018 I graduated from Casal Aveda Institute as an Advanced Esthetician, having completed 750 hours of training, having the proper skin knowledge to provide you with the best experience possible. After working in esthetics for 3 years I decided to pursue a career in cosmetic tattooing and began my training to become a licensed cosmetic tattoo artist. Since getting licensed, I have received over 10 certifications in brows, lip blushing, eyeliner, faux freckles and saline removal. I have truly found my passion in permanent makeup and in this career. There is nothing more fulfilling than having a hand in building confidence for my wonderful clients!
My 4 years of experience in the beauty industry and my thirst to continuously learn and work hard has allowed me to flourish in this industry and become an exceptional artist. When you book with MLC ink, you are booking with an artist who is personable, innovative, versatile and my personal favorite; an absolute perfectionist.
