BIO
AMY DURAN, TATTOO ARTIST

I moved to Athens over 25 years ago to study Fashion Merchandising at UGA. Since then, I’ve earned my Cosmetology License and certification in Cosmetic Tattooing. Continuing education has always been a priority for me, and over the years, I’ve trained with top artists around the world to refine my skills. In 2021, I attended the largest Permanent Makeup Conference in the U.S., where I earned certification in several advanced techniques. In 2022, I completed an illustrative tattoo apprenticeship, which has allowed me to expand my services offered to include body art.
Cosmetic and Body Art tattooing allow me to combine my love for art with my passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin. My goal is to ensure every client feels comfortable, relaxed, and empowered in their decision. I’m here to provide you with all the information you need to make the choice that’s right for you. I truly love the process of customizing each tattoo for my clients. I’m incredibly grateful to work with the best clients, and I can’t wait to help you look and feel your best! 🖤
