I’m Farah, the owner and lead cosmetic & paramedical tattoo artist at Derma Design. I’m best known for creating hyper-realistic looks and truly customizing my services for each individual. I strongly believe it’s necessary to continue to train in any industry, but especially in this one due to the rapidly advancing techniques and evolving tools. Both of these factors are key to provide the most desirable results and it’s my commitment to you that I’ll be sure to offer the absolute latest techniques. Trust me, permanent makeup now is different than it was 10, 5, even just 3 years ago. I’m here to offer you the best of the best.

A little about me: I'm an artist, I was born to create, and the face is my choice canvas. I’ve always had a strong interest in all areas of beauty. I’ve designed, drawn, and painted just about everything I could get my hands on throughout my entire life. Ask anyone who knows me, and you’ll hear that it's no surprise I landed my career in the beauty industry.

In addition to beauty, I have a strong passion for education. Most recently, I have become a Platinum Trainer for the American Academy of Micropigmentation. I am now offering 1:1 and 1:2 training sessions right here in my Denville office.
