Today, she has done just that! Erika Nicholson, now a multi-certified Paramedical and cosmetic tattoo artist, owns and operates Restored Cosmetics, LLC. She and her skilled team help individuals look and feel beautiful every single day by restoring their confidence in and through Paramedical and cosmetic tattoo procedures.
