Studio Sashiko restorative tattoo artist Shaughnessy Otsuji is as skilled at creating lifelike, microbladed brows as she is at reconstructing realistic areolas for breast cancer survivors and transgender or nonbinary clients who have opted for top surgery. With a team of artists and a sleek new Arts District location (695 S. Santa Fe Ave., Ste. 101), the cosmetic artist — who also does guest spots at tattoo haven Bang Bang NYC and celebrity facialist Joanna Czech’s studio in Dallas — is adding to her client list with the likes of Rumer Willis and Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe. “I love creating very fluffy, natural brows with lots of texture, dimension and movement,” says Otsuji, who opened Studio Sashiko’s first space outside Vancouver with husband Kyle Otsuji in 2015. To achieve camera-ready arches, Otsuji recommends allowing two to four weeks for healing. studiosashiko.com
