Meet Tam Patel, RDH
Hey there! I'm the founder of Pretty Little Ink San Diego (PLINK SD for short), and I'm here to revolutionize your beauty routine.
I've trained with top experts from LA to New York, and even across Europe and Canada. Why? Because I believe in order to be the best, it helps to learn from the best!
At PLINK SD, I'm not just offering a service; I'm providing a transformation.
With over 21 years of experience in clinical healthcare within dentistry, I’ve always had a deep understanding of the human body, precision, and patient care. But beyond my clinical background, I’ve also had a lifelong love for beauty and aesthetics. That’s what first led me to the world of permanent makeup—specifically, lip blush neutralization. Helping clients enhance their natural beauty while addressing concerns like lip pigmentation became my passion.
But as I entered my 40s and juggled life as a mom of two, I started to see beauty and self-care differently. Temporary fixes were great, but I found myself searching for more lasting solutions to common concerns—especially when it came to my own body. After having my children, I struggled with stretch marks, a reminder of the changes my body had been through. Like many women, I wanted a way to improve their appearance and feel more confident in my own skin.
That’s when I discovered inkless stretch mark revision. At first, I was just looking for a solution for myself, but after researching the science behind it and seeing my own results, I knew this was something I wanted to offer others. It was a natural evolution—combining my expertise in healthcare and my love for aesthetics to provide a service that could help people feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.
While my heart is still in lip blushing, incorporating paramedical tattooing into my work has given me an even deeper sense of purpose. It allows me to blend my medical knowledge with artistry, offering real, lasting solutions for people who want to restore and enhance their natural beauty. Whether it’s neutralizing lip pigmentation or improving the appearance of scars and stretch marks, I’m committed to helping my clients feel their best—because I know firsthand how powerful that transformation can be.
