Oyster Bay Mom, Artist's Permanent Makeup Shop Gets Official Welcome

OYSTER BAY, NY — A local mom and artist combined her passions for beauty and tattooing to open a small studio in Oyster Bay, the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce shared.

The official ribbon cutting for Ashley Pastene's Scarlett Ink Studio in Townsend Square is set for Saturday, Jan. 14 at 2 p.m.

The business, at 111 South Street, Suite 211, offers beauty treatments and permanent makeup in "a sacred, safe, and inclusive little studio," the business websites states.

Pastene was an artist and won a scholarship to the Fashion Institute of Technology.

"Creativity has always been the focus of [my] life," she writes in her business biography.

After working in cosmetology, Pastene got into permanent makeup, tattooing and eyelash extensions. Her mission is to "make everyone feel beautiful in their own skin," she wrote.

Oyster Bay families may recognize her from local events like Cruise Nights, the Oyster Bay Market, and the Oyster Festival where she does hair tinsel and temporary tattoos for kids and makes live terrariums using healing stones, hand-painted crafts, and candles, the Chamber said.

Pastere said she loves the relationships she builds with her clients and the therapeutic side of her work.
