Emerald Ink + Esthetics Co. is a private studio at 608 Decatur Ave in Brooksville, Florida, operating as both a tattoo shop and a salon. Gypsy Contreras has been behind the business since 2020. Hours are Monday through Thursday 9:30 AM to 7 PM, Friday 9:30 AM to 8 PM, Saturday 10:30 AM to 7 PM and Sunday 10:30 AM to 6 PM. The salon says it has more than 180 five-star reviews over three years.
On the salon side, brow services include a 45-minute tint and wax with shaping and highlight, brow lamination starting at $70, and shaded powder brows in ombré or nano stroke styles that take about three hours. Powder brow clients avoid caffeine, alcohol and ibuprofen for 24 to 48 hours beforehand. Facials range from a sensitive-skin treatment to a comprehensive acne facial and an anti-aging facial that includes peptide, retinol and oxygen treatments. Salon guests are asked to arrive with a bare face, hair down and no caffeine, and full-set nail clients come with bare nails. Lashes, nails and waxing round out the menu, along with one-on-one nail classes from four hours to a full day.
The tattoo side centers on custom work. A free 15-minute consultation comes first, and design drawings are not sent ahead of the appointment, so changes are discussed during the session. Realism, watercolor and fineline work are not offered, and fineline or unfamiliar designs need a consultation before booking. Body piercings are also available. Babies, children and anyone under 18 are not permitted in the shop, and minors receiving services must have the required DOH form completed.
Bookings can be made or arranged by text at 813-892-1441. Clients need a valid debit or credit card on file, and each service requires a non-refundable deposit that is applied to the final cost. Changes need at least 72 hours' notice; salon cancellations inside that window are charged 75% of the booked total, and same-day salon cancellations within 24 hours are charged the full amount. Clients who arrive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or who have used them within 48 hours in a way that prevents safe services, forfeit the deposit and are charged half the booked total. Buy Now, Pay Later is available for bookings from $50 to $4,000 and needs approval before the appointment. Gift cards are sold.
Work is planned around each client, with free consultations before permanent brow and tattoo work and designs shaped to the individual.
The look draws on Hollywood, vintage and Regency styling, with a darker, macabre thread running through it.
