I help enhance your natural beauty

HELLO, I'm

My name is Cori Ryan, and I am a cosmetic tattoo artist in the NYC area specializing in natural-looking results that subtly enhance your features. Whether you're interested in a soft lip stain, fuller eyebrows, or a bit of eyeliner, my goal is to create permanent cosmetic results that feel completely you—just a little bit MORE.

I focus on giving you the best experience not just in my NYC studio but also as you live with the results of my services long after your appointment. It is important to me to take the time to understand what you're looking for and make sure we create something that fits your unique style. I follow the ethical standards I have set for myself (and my students!) to ensure your results will age well.

Utilizing advanced color theory and pigment science, I have developed my own unique approach to permanent cosmetics to ensure stable color, not just when the result is fresh but also when it is healed and as it ages in your skin.

Your long-term cosmetic tattoo result is my top priority as an artist, and I want you to leave feeling confident about your permanent makeup. Let’s work together to bring out your best self with permanent cosmetics. For example, my lip blushing in NYC services will bring out your lips’ natural color, fullness, and shape.

BESPOKE PERMANENT MAKE UP SERVICES

My artist background has helped me develop a unique approach to permanent cosmetics. I do not follow many trends and standard practices. While many artists focus on mapping, measuring, and selecting pigments based on traditional makeup, I take a more holistic approach. Every cosmetic tattoo I create considers not only the pigment color and the design but also the universal elements and principles of art, ensuring that the outcome is in true harmony with your overall look.

Why Cori Ryan is NYC's Top Choice for Permanent Makeup

When I first started in cosmetic tattooing in NYC, I followed the guidance of more experienced artists, and like many others, I relied on conventional methods. Within my first year, it became clear that the traditional way of approaching these permanent makeup services was not working for clients long-term. The results may have looked beautiful when they were fresh. Still, a year later, the colors had shifted unnaturally, the lines had spread in the skin, the fading was uneven and patchy, and it was obvious at first glance what was a tattoo compared to what was real - but worst of all, many of those results were impossible for me to correct properly.

It became my mission as a permanent cosmetic artist to find new, ethical ways to approach the services so the clients could experience the benefits of cosmetic tattooing long term. I wanted to create natural-looking results that could be easily maintained over the years with mild touch-ups and without odd color shifting. I have worked hard to master many permanent cosmetic services, such as eyebrow tattoos in NYC.


Benefits of Cosmetic Tattooing

While cosmetic tattooing is often referred to as "permanent makeup," my approach is more focused on minimalist enhancements that subtly improve your natural features. Rather than creating dramatic changes, the goal is to fill in areas where something may feel missing or to restore what has been lost over time. Cosmetic tattooing can be a great option for you if:

  • You’ve overplucked your eyebrows or had a bad waxing or threading experience, and the hairs never grew back the same.
  • The borders of your lips have faded and appear smaller than they used to.
  • Your eyelashes are fine or sparse, and without mascara, you feel like your eyes lack definition.
  • You've experienced hair loss due to chemotherapy, hormonal changes after pregnancy, or alopecia and have lost your eyebrows completely.
  • Dark areas on your lips are overpowering the natural pink or peach tones you'd prefer.
  • You want to wake up looking a little more polished and put together—without needing to apply makeup each day.

Cosmetic tattooing is about enhancing your natural beauty in a way that’s low-maintenance, natural-looking, and designed to fit your lifestyle. If any of these scenarios sound like you, we can discuss how this service might help you feel more confident every day.

Cori is seriously amazing and she is so knowledgeable in her craft. I consulted with her about her lip blushing and powder brows services and after discussing my options, choosing to move forward was such an easy decision. She gave valid input, was incredibly professional and helped make the appointment very enjoyable. I felt very comfortable with her as she made the entire process a collaborative. She truly took my requests to heart and helped achieve what I was going for. I would recommend Cori to anyone. The studio was clean and a very welcoming environment as well. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Thank you so much, Cori! I absolutely loveeee my cosmetic tattoos!
