In Part 2 of our interview with Jeff, owner of Parkway Esthetics, we go way beyond tattooing. This episode takes a turn — in the best way possible — as we dive headfirst into conspiracy theories, the Diddy verdict (which had just been announced while we were recording), and Jeff’s personal thoughts on aliens, demons, and religion.

This is the kind of deep, unfiltered conversation we live for on the Inspired podcast. Jeff doesn’t hold back, and neither do we. From discussing the industry’s behind-the-scenes secrets to opening up about beliefs and unexplained truths, this episode is a wild ride you won’t want to miss.

Get ready to hear a side of Jeff you’ve never seen before. 👽😈🙏

In this two-part episode of the Inspired Podcast, Amber and Sasha sit down with the incredibly talented Jeff, owner of Parkway Esthetics in Las Vegas on our 100th podcast episode!

With over 20 years of experience, Jeff is a master in the world of scar camouflage and paramedical tattooing — specializing in plastic surgery scars, blemishes, under-eye circles, mastectomy restoration, and more.

We dive deep into Jeff’s unique techniques and how he's become one of the most trusted artists in this niche, attracting clients from all over the country. Fun fact: only 5% of his clientele is from Vegas — the rest travel just to get tattooed by him. Oh, and yes… he’s even tattooed Bunnie XO, wife of country music star Jelly Roll!

You’ll hear jaw-dropping stories of the wildest scar requests, including a woman whose nose was ripped off by a dog, and another client who wanted her entire body tattooed a different color. 😳 Whether you're in the beauty industry or just curious about the world of restorative tattooing — this episode will blow your mind.

Say hello to our newest team member—Aubrie! In this episode of Inspired by Ms Amber Red, we’re keeping it real (like always). Amber and Sasha spill the tea on all the hiring mistakes they’ve made in the past and why finding the right fit for the front desk and social media content role felt impossible—until now.

We bring Aubrie on the mic to chat about what it’s been like stepping into this position, especially as someone who’s still learning the ins and outs of social media strategy. But here's the thing—we’re not looking for someone who’s already polished. We’re looking for someone who’s hungry to learn and not afraid to think outside the box.

Spoiler: Aubrie’s already killing it and we’re so excited to help her develop her own posting style for our brand.

Oh—and BIG NEWS—we’re launching a media company! Yup. Inspired is growing even more. Amber, Sasha, and Aubrie are teaming up to help beauty biz owners bring their brand vision to life with custom social media content, branding, and websites. We’re just getting started, so this is the perfect time to hop in early.

We wrap it all up by asking Aubrie the top 3 things she’s learned since working with us… but you’ll have to hit play to hear her answers. 💬✨

Whether you’re hiring for your team, looking to build your brand, or just love a good behind-the-scenes convo—you’re gonna love this one.

In this episode of Inspired by Ms Amber Red, we’re getting into something every PMU artist needs to understand—tattoo machines and needle types. 🧠💉

Ms Amber Red, Sasha, and Adrienne sit down to unpack the real differences between needle-on-the-bar vs. cartridge machines—and trust us, this conversation might just change how you work forever.

Amber and Adrienne both swear by needle-on-the-bar machines (especially their fave: the Bishop V6) and explain why they prefer them over cartridges. Amber dives into the stabilization advantage that needle-on-the-bar offers—and how cartridges can fall short in this area. Adrienne admits no one ever explained this to her before, and if you’ve ever felt unsure about why you use a certain machine, this episode is for you.

We’re also talking about:

• How needle-on-the-bar can save you money
• The basics of BBP certification and how to properly clean your tray and setup
• Why some PMU artists skip over the fundamentals (and why that’s a big problem)

Plus, if you’re ready to get hands-on guidance, Amber offers 6-month apprenticeships to help you build confidence, skill, and knowledge the right way. 👩‍🏫 Link to inquire is below!

This one’s all about foundations, education, and leveling up as an artist. Let’s get into it. 🎧

In this week’s episode of Inspired by Ms Amber Red, we’re diving into something we’ve been seeing way too often lately—botched brows and unhappy clients. 😬

Ms Amber Red, Sasha, and Adrienne are talking about the surge of poorly done eyebrows flooding the industry and what you can do if you (or your client) end up with results you’re not happy with. Enter: LiFT created by Teryn Darling, a game-changing product designed to lighten and remove unwanted permanent makeup—yes, even within the first 24–48 hours! 🙌

We’re breaking down how emergency removal works, what kind of results you can expect, and why it’s so important not to let clients try to fix bad PMU at home. Amber shares her real experiences using LiFT and how she's seen pigment fade by 50% or more when treated early.

This episode is a must-listen for PMU artists who want to expand their services and support clients through worst-case scenarios. Because if you know how to tattoo it—you should know how to remove it too.

Amber’s LiFT class is happening August 21st and it’s currently $300 off (original price $1795). If you’ve been thinking about learning removals, now’s the time! We’ll drop the link to sign up in the episode notes below. 🎓✨

On this week’s episode of Inspired by Ms Amber Red, we’re getting raw, real, and a little emotional—because the permanent makeup journey isn’t always perfect, but it is powerful.

Arielle shares the story of her first time tattooing a winged eyeliner without Amber in the room—and let’s just say, it was a ride. 😅 From shaky hands and caffeine-fueled nerves to the client’s eyes swelling mid-procedure, Arielle walks us through every intense moment and how she got through it with the help of Sasha and Tania by her side. And guess what? The client loved it!

We also dive deep into the struggles we all face as artists. Amber opens up about how lips and bottom liner used to scare her too, but she pushed through with practice—and Adrienne gets emotional as she shares just how much having a supportive mentor and team means to her on her journey. 🥺

This episode is your reminder that every hard moment is a stepping stone, that community matters, and that it’s okay to cry, laugh, freak out, and grow—together.

Whether you're a PMU artist or just someone chasing your dream, this one will hit home.

This week on Inspired by Ms Amber Red, things got wild—and not just in our studio. As we were walking into our podcast session, the internet was literally catching fire with the breaking feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump… and we hit record while it was all unfolding live. 😳

Join Ms Amber Red, Sasha, Arielle, and Adrienne as we react in real time to clips from a viral TikTok livestream that was covering all the drama. From Elon calling out Trump for being in the Epstein files (!!!) to Trump banning Tesla sales in the U.S. and pulling all of Elon's government contracts—yes, that actually happened—we’re spilling all the tea. ☕️

We dive into the chaos, read the TikTok comments live on air, and share exactly how we feel about the billionaire beef that just might shake up politics and tech. Elon threatening to pull SpaceX, Trump calling for a Tesla blackout, and now impeachment rumors? This might be the wildest episode we’ve ever recorded.

So… are you Team Elon or Team Trump? Drop your thoughts in the comments. 👀

In this episode of Inspired by Ms Amber Red, the mic flips a little—Amber interviews Sasha and asks her what it’s really like being her own boss... while still technically working under Amber.

Amber opens up about learning to let go of control, trusting Sasha to take the reins on major parts of the business without micromanaging. Sasha shares how, even though she doesn’t always feel like a boss, she’s learned how to step up, take ownership, and build real confidence in her role.

Together, they reflect on the trust they’ve built over the years and how that trust has made the business (and their working relationship) stronger than ever. This episode is a love letter to every business owner learning to delegate, every team member learning to lead, and every duo learning how to grow—together.

Because when you start trusting your people, you’ll be surprised at how much they rise.
