questions?  let's chat!

When I opened Inkvictus Studios, I had the mission to help people. To educate, to cultivate confidence, to expand my artistic abilities. I'm phenomenally proud of the studio we call home and the incredibly hardworking team that has shared in my dream.

Our goal is not just to give you new lashes or a new tattoo. Our goal is to make you feel safe, included, educated, and respected.  We're dedicated to being transparent with our techniques and processes. We use our platform to educate potential clients as well as aspiring artists. I hope that you can call Inkvictus Studios home, and I will do everything in my power to make you feel like that's possible. Thank you all sooo much for everything, and I hope to see all of your returning faces, as well as plenty of new ones, in the studio soon! 

making you feel safe, included, educated, and respected. 

We're passionate about:

xo, Natascha Rautenberg

I'm writing this immediately after my powder brow appointment with Natascha because it was JUST. THAT. GOOD. Comfortable environment, trendy vibes, beyond knowledgeable and kind - Inkvictus is without a doubt the place to go if you're looking for permanent makeup. I loved the experience and the results - can't wait to come back for my 6 week touch up just to hang out!

I legitimately cannot favorite or support this shop enough. Sure, they check all the boxes. The staff was very friendly, everything was pristinely sanitized and clean. Professionalism was through the roof. But at the end of the day, these woman provide a service no other tattoo shop has in my opinion. 11 tattoos and and 6 piercings. I’ve been to a handful of shops all over the country and in the Raleigh area.
Cosmetic tattoos are personal, they’re fragile, intimidating and very emotional to sign up for and it is my personal opinion that there is not a single woman in this shop who takes that responsibility lightly.

Natasha did my brows. I cannot even begin to talk about how phenomenal my experience with her was. Not only was her artistry beautifully executed; her professionalism was unmatched. She gave me a level of respect no other tattoo artist has shown before. She welcomed me into the studio like a dear friend. Consent was an absolutely mandatory thing that she regularly checked back in on and there was not a single moment during our appointment where she didn’t thoroughly explain everything to me.

Everyone was so warm, so welcoming, so genuinely and so incredibly talented and to be perfectly honest I genuinely cannot think of a better shop for anyone to reach out to. They’re simply incredible!

Natascha and her team are the best! I'm kinda sad my services are complete, because each time I visited the studio I had fun, felt super welcome, and received incredible service. If you're new to permanent makeup, Natascha will be direct and honest with you about what you can expect from the process and results. She took the extra time and care to create a plan specifically for my face, and I had complete confidence in her hands - even when they held a tattoo pen aimed at my eyelid! The healing process was easy-breezy following the aftercare plan with the super cute aftercare bag of goodies and instructions. My lash line enhancement and lip tint are exactly what I hoped for -- I feel beautiful!

I would highly recommend Inkvictus Studios for any type of service! Their studio was clean and inviting, such a cute setup that makes you want to enjoy a day out with your closest girlfriends! As far as my personal experience, Leah was AMAZING! I got a set of classic eyelash extensions, and they were just what I wanted. She took her time to make sure everything was executed perfectly and made me feel so comfortable. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I will be returning!The entire team is so beautiful inside and out. They welcome me with open arms everytime I arrive for my sessions. They have so much love for all their clients and there is never a dull moment when you're in the studio.

I came to Natascha to get powder brows done this week. I’d been thinking about powder brows for over a year now, especially since COVID had killed my makeup game. No matter what, I always fill in my brows, so I was hoping to cut down on my everyday routine. I’d been researching and finally settled on Inkvictus as a fellow woman-owned and run business. Natascha was so kind and patient and she talked me through every single step— aftercare, brow mapping (she spent so much time and effort on following my bone and muscle structure to find the shape that would best fit and enhance my features— seriously so cool! she was such a perfectionist and I totally appreciated it!), color choice, and the actual tattoo process. Natascha even explained at the beginning that if we didn’t agree on a shape that day, we could always come back on a later date— she didn’t want to force me to get something tattooed that I didn’t LOVE. We chit chatted, jammed out to Shania Twain, and she always made sure I was comfortable (she did use some numbing cream). She gave me everything I needed for aftercare and explained it all thoroughly and then booked me for my 6 week follow up before I left. I absolutely adore how my brows turned out— I’ve gotten so many compliments already. I felt so safe, heard, and welcome by Natascha and the entire team at Inkvictus. I kind of can’t wait to go back 10/10 would recommend! If you’re thinking about it, do it!The entire team is so beautiful inside and out. They welcome me with open arms everytime I arrive for my sessions. They have so much love for all their clients and there is never a dull moment when you're in the studio.

I had my eyelashes lifted and tinted by Leah. She did such an amazing job! I was nervous before getting it done because my eyelashes are naturally white but it looked amazing once done! She talked me through the whole process and my lashes look so natural. Definitely recommend booking with Leah for all your lash wants!

I have nothing but good things to say about Inkvictus Studio! I went to Kat as a first time client for a micro blading/powder brow combo and was beyond impressed with the result! I was very nervous and Kat helped me every step of the way! She was extremely honest and saved me some money by advising that I just try powder brows instead of the combo with micro blading since my eyebrows were already relatively full (greatly appreciated!). She made also sure that I was 100% comfortable with the process and design and did an AMAZING job. The new studio is very cute and comfortable. 10/10 would recommend their services!
