This Lady, Kat is effing awesome. Her customer service is top notch. Her personality is genuine and Her skill and knowledge around Her craft is nothing short of Spot On. When I decided to have My eyebrow tattoos touched up (was not going back to the original tat “artist” but that’s another talk show) I looked at hundreds of reviews, photos, prices and locations. I settled on ADoI. I am so glad I did. If you are looking for an artist who truly cares about her work and giving you what you want/need, check out Kat @ADoI. Don’t cheat yourself, treat yourself.
Thanks Kat

I love my new brows! Kathryn is truly an expert in her field. Her studio is so clean and comfortable. She is incredibly precise in her work and made sure I was happy every step of the way. You will not be disappointed!

I am here to sing the praises of Kat Saky, owner of A Dose of Ink. My daughter and I are both clients. In my case, I had my sparse eyebrow microbladed, and they look amazing! I was nervous, but Kat told me she would only improve my eyebrows, following my natural shape, and she did. They match the color of my hair and complement my complexion; I was able to keep them on the thin side, and I love them. Kat is completely professional and so encouraging. She is a true artist who gives great attention to detail. I highly recommend her.

Kat has such a warm presence and makes you feel comfortable as soon as you set foot in her studio. She takes her time to listen to your needs and delivers! For complete professionalism and unmatched patience choose Kat, you won't regret it.

She will not start until you are 100 % satisfied with the shape and color (which she creates to match your undertone).

A lot of artists are afraid to do strokes on brown skin but Kat is very knowledgeable and confident in her work and it shows!

My search for a go to brow artist is finally over! Kathryn is a meticulous and versatile permanent cosmetic artist who is very passionate about her work. Her work space is very clean, organized and it has a very tranquil and positive energy. Kathryn's demeanor is very calm and her needle technique is very light-handed and precise. I couldn't be happier with the way that my brows turned out, even before the touch-up appointment that is another 6 weeks away. I highly recommend this Miracle Worker/Brow Guru as my brows were very sparse from years of over plucking and having work done by two other artists on multiple visits in the past 28 years. No one else has been able to help me achieve brows like Kathryn did today. I am beyond pleased and appreciative for what she did for me.

Kathryn did a microblading job for me and the whole process was outstanding. She's a great listener, works the natural angle, she's precise and knows her craft. I felt that I was in great hands. I highly recommend her services.

Kathryn provided excellent service from the initial phone consultation to the end product. I had a color correction and refresh on my microbladed brows which were previously done by someone else. To correct the color, they were lightened with saline removal first. Then Kathryn did a powder brow for the refresh. The color and shape are beautiful and natural. Kathryn is highly experienced with extensive technical knowledge in microblading which I appreciate. The entire process and experience were worth it. Thank you, Kathryn.

Kat is such a sweet person and very talented with her work. I recommend her to anyone looking for permanent cosmetic. Her studio is clean, comfortable and its easy to book appointments. Kat is also great with communicating; letting me know if there is availability to come earlier, and costs of the procedures. There is a lot of information on the website. Kat is very detail-oriented and I’m super happy with her work.

Kat is a professional who recommends and advises individuals on a natural permanent cosmetic application to enhance, correct emphasize/de-emphasize on those areas that can bring out personal self-esteem and confidence. My first-time experience with permanent cosmetics and tattooing was good and I felt confident in Kat’s abilities. She provides thorough pre-care and after care instructions. Her establishment is secure, clean and in a bustling area of small businesses. Parking is metered on the street. Kat provides free consultation via phone and she sends appointment reminders to her clients. I want to emphasize that Kat is into a natural look. If you are looking to do something out of the ordinary or edgy, you may want to choose someone different. My microblading eyebrows look so natural and real, you cannot even tell that they are “inked. ” I also had eyeliner done on my top lids. Kat calls it “eyelash enhancement” because it’s meant to make your eyelashes appear thicker rather than make you look like you are wearing eyeliner. One touch-up is included with a Full service. I highly recommend Kat for those who want something natural and professional! Following her guidance and instructions is very important if you want great results!

Kat did an amazing job with my eyebrows and a few other procedures. She is a true artist she shaped my eyebrows perfectly to my face matching the color perfectly. She is very professional, easy to talk to, listens, pays attention to detail, is very clean and explains everything. I am very pleased and will definitely recommend her.

Dose of Ink, Katherine is the best! I was anxious about what to expect. She really took the time to explain the procedure. She took the time to tell me what would be best for me and explained in detail what to expect. I had my appt with my mom. She was extra nice and patient with both of us. We felt very comfortable and confident of her work. Of course, it was proven when we looked in the mirror. FABULOUS! And when coworkers and friends compliment your eyebrows, you know you spent your money well. Get your money's worth and get your eyebrows done by a REAL professional, like Katherine. Detailed, clean, precise, AND a beautiful spirit. We are very pleased, thank you

I can't recommend Kat enough! She did such amazing work on my eyebrows. They are exactly how I've wanted them to look and I would go back to her once a month if I could. Her shop is cozy and super clean, she is extremely professional, thoroughly explains the process and aftercare, made sure that I was happy with how I wanted my brows to look, and is the most wonderful person in general. If you're reading this because you need to find the perfect place for microblading, THIS IS IT!

Kat did an amazing job with my eyebrows. I have a nice overall shape to my eyebrows with little sparse patches (from over plucking in my teenage years) and oily skin, so we went with the combo eyebrows. I wanted something to fill the patches but still look natural. I have an active lifestyle and spend a good amount of time in the ocean, and/or pools. After 6 months they still look great. I still wear a little bit of makeup over my eyebrows when I have eyeliner and blush on, just to make them pop out a bit more, but they look just fine when I'm not wearing any makeup at all. They look natural and I feel more confident about my face without make up thanks to Kat's work. I wanted to go a little darker with the color, so I went in for a second touch up. I'll update with pictures once they're fully healed.

On a side note, Kat is very sweet and thorough with explaining the process and expectations. I felt at ease throughout the entire process and would recommend her to anyone who is considering taking the leap.
