Over the course of 1.5 years, Collins completed training in permanent makeup techniques, earning 12 certifications, including those in areola tattooing and scar camouflage. She later relocated from Colorado to Georgia to serve a more diverse client base. In her work, she develops custom pigment blends tailored for darker skin tones, a service that is not widely available due to the hesitancy some practitioners express when working with darker skin.
Breast cancer statistics highlight the importance of accessible areola restoration services. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Black women in the United States have a 40% higher mortality rate from breast cancer compared to white women, despite similar incidence rates. The American Cancer Society (ACS) reports that breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, and an estimated 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. These disparities are attributed to factors such as differences in tumor characteristics, access to care, and systemic barriers within healthcare.
By offering specialized areola tattooing and scar camouflage, The Intersection PC seeks to address these disparities by ensuring that women of color have access to high-quality, restorative cosmetic procedures. Unlike many permanent makeup artists who enter the field from a beauty background, Collins brings a combination of medical training and technical artistry to her work.
The studio is designed to be an inclusive space where clients from all backgrounds can receive paramedical tattooing services in a professional setting. “Representation in this field is important,” says Collins. “For many women, reconstructive tattooing is the final step in their healing journey. It’s important that they have providers who understand their unique needs.”
