Dawn Hunter comes from a long lineage of artists. Her grandmother being an accomplished artist in Hungary, she inherited a natural eye for design and color. Adding in her over 12 years of Master Skin care experience as Director of Esthetics at a Seattle Medspa this profession is the perfect fit. Dawn trained with many master artist and tattooists holding many certifications.

“I like to think of all the different techniques we use in PMU as our brushes to the canvas, only our canvas is skin and our brushes are tattoo machines. We are creating art on the face.”

Dawn attended OFarrell High school for the arts and had a scholarship to attend a prestigious art college but decided that she had a preference for other ares and wanted art to be her love not a job, until she discovered permanent cosmetics. Her background in broadcast journalism also makes Dawn a natural in front of the camera and she has hosted Radio and TV shows. Published in magazines and is a sought after motivational speaker for women in business.

Dawn Hunter is the director of VINE Training Academy and oversees the rigorous training program. She takes clients at the Kirkland location.
