About Esther
Esther is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in tattooing, permanent makeup, and film and television makeup artistry. With a passion for transformation and precision, she seamlessly blends technical skill with creativity, bringing artistry to both skin and screen. As a tattoo artist, she specializes in micro realism and black-and-grey designs, drawing inspiration from nature to create intricate, lifelike pieces. Her expertise in permanent makeup allows her to enhance natural beauty with subtle, long-lasting results, while her work in film and television makeup—spanning beauty, special effects, and prosthetics—has brought countless characters to life.
An award-winning artist and proud member of IATSE Local 798, Esther has spent over a decade in the entertainment industry, working on films, photoshoots, and red carpet events. Before transitioning into makeup, she was a top jewelry designer at Haskell Jewels, where she created an exclusive collection for Steve Madden and played a key role in Betsey Johnson’s core team. Her background in design, combined with her studies at MUD (Make-up Designory of New York) and the Fashion Institute of Technology, has shaped her meticulous approach to artistry.
Now, Esther continues to push creative boundaries across all three disciplines, merging her love for detail, form, and storytelling in every piece she creates. Whether she’s tattooing meaningful designs, enhancing features with permanent cosmetics, or crafting transformative looks for film, her goal is always the same—to create striking, one-of-a-kind art that resonates.
