French Tattoo Model Aurore Pariente spent her early 20s, DJ’ing and mixing up the nightlife with french house beats in Paris.

She, returned to her hometown Avignon four years ago to open up a permanent makeup shop using tattoo ink. She called it cosmetic tattooing because she was the only one in France that officially used tattoo ink instead of permanent make up, for tattooing eyebrows and freckles. The result was more natural, lasted longer, and was important for keeping the ink stable over time, avoiding discoloration. Aurore was attracted to the cosmetic tattoo industry because of eyebrows. She felt eyebrows were the balance of the face and structured the look like nothing else.

“I believe the eyebrows are the most important thing on a woman’s face.”

Over the years she was determined and patient and ended up launching her own brand and shop specializing in cosmetic tattooing, Le Sourcil By Aurore. As Aurore got more involved in her career she started modeling, and two years ago launched her Instagram page @aurorepariente, reaching over one million followers. Her decision was not for popularity but to build confidence in her body and physique that she had disliked for years.
