About Lauren Frank, Tattoo Specialist
Lauren Frank, a native Texan, is no stranger to the Lone Star State. With an engineer for a father and a beautician for a mother, Lauren developed a keenness for mathematics and a love for beauty. Lauren went on to become a Petroleum Engineer at the Colorado School of Mines and shortly after receiving her degree, moved back to Texas to work in oil & gas for several years. During this time, Lauren continued to hone her beauty skills, doing hair, nails and makeup for friends and acquaintances, slowly building a local clientele. It was also during this period that she discovered and quickly became impassioned with permanent makeup – a practice that combines a precise eye for detail (thank you, engineering!) and beauty, eventually becoming certified in the technique by master trainer, Mychelle Hoang. Fast forward a few years and Lauren, who by now had garnered a sizable clientele, left the petroleum industry to pursue her passion full-time and build her own permanent makeup business. Her services are now available by appointment at the 713 Tattoo Parlour located in the commercial heart of the Montrose neighborhood conveniently nestled between River Oaks and Midtown. If you are in that neck of the woods, you may even run into Lauren as she is a connoisseur of the wonderful restaurant scene in Houston where she resides with her lovely and most handsome cat, Ty.
