Shelby Brooks
Founder
Originally from Melbourne, Shelby completed her cosmetic tattooing certificate in 2013 in Elwood, Victoria. She spent 2 years in North Queensland working from a Medical Clinic before residing on the Southern end of the Gold Coast and opening Restore in 2021.
The vision for Restore was to create a calm and relaxing environment where experience, attention to detail and innovation all collaborate. Shelby’s passion is to make people feel good about themselves, by enhancing their natural features. Her goal is to help as many clients confidence as possible, through the art of Cosmetic and Medical Tattooing.
Shelby has completed over 20 professional development courses including a certificate in TAE40122 (Training & Assessment). Some of her most sought after skills include self-harm scar camouflage, areola reconstructive tattooing and stretch mark camouflage tattooing.
Shelby is extremely passionate and excited in helping people with their scars and stretch marks. Originally trained by Brazilian Tattoo artist Rudolpho Torres (the world’s leading Medical Tattooist) in 2017, she now holds her own Medical Tattooing courses and education. Her speciality is with scarring, stretch marks, areola tattooing and self harm scars.
Shelby offers advanced Scalp Micro Pigmentation – concentrating mostly on hair density. This technique is deigned for men and women whose hair is thinning and want the illusion of thicker hair. A lot of Shelby’s clients have unfortunately had chemotherapy or radiation and their hair hasn’t grown back as thick as it once was.
Though her main passion in life is her work, Shelby loves to express her creativity in other aspects. When she isn’t tattooing, she enjoys sewing and cooking. She is a gymnastics coach and also loves to keep fit and active with her fur baby Nala. You’ll find her at pilates on Sundays, walking and running most mornings and relaxing reading a book on a sunny afternoon.
