With over 30 years of experience in tattooing and paramedical aesthetics, Nikki Thompson combines artistic precision with proven techniques to help clients look and feel their best. Our focus is solely on microneedling — a powerful, non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen and transforms skin from the inside out.

With decades of experience, Nikki Thompson has helped hundreds of clients restore confidence through scar repair and skin rejuvenation.  Microneedling is also often refered to as "Inkless Tattooing" because of how it stimulates the body's abiltiy to repigment hypopigmented areas. It is just a wonderful all around repair tool for skin. When flesh tone still needs to be added, Nikki can easily match your skintone and tattoo it to blend with the surrounding area. 

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is one of the safest and most effective ways to naturally improve skin texture.

It can:

• Fade surgical scars, self-harm scars, and accident scars
• Improve skin tone and elasticity
• Smooth stretch marks and uneven texture
• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
• Support healing before paramedical tattooing

While microneedling is a favorite for anti-aging, at Microneedling Queen we are best known for scar treatments. From mastectomy scars to facelift lines, microneedling helps create a healthy skin foundation before pigment tattooing is applied.

Microneedling is a very useful tool in rejuvenation for skin, period. Microneedling, often hailed as a revolutionary skincare treatment, has gained immense popularity among beauty enthusiasts, earning the nickname "Queen" of skin rejuvenation techniques. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface, stimulating the body's natural healing processes. As a result, it boosts collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling is praised for its versatility, effectively addressing a range of skin concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and enlarged pores. With minimal downtime and significant results, it's no wonder microneedling has become a reigning favorite in the world of skincare. Nikki has specialized in paramedical treatment.

Nikki specializes in scar repair and cover with tattoos. So along with the other benefits & uses of microneedling, she often encounters a client who will want to cover their scars with a tattoo or pigmented tinted ink. Those areas may need a few sessions of microneedling to break the scar down. Then the tattoo can be applied. This provides a smooth flat surface for the tattoo as well as ensures the ink will take uniformly. This same process sometimes is used with areola and 3d nipple work or paramedical scar correction work. Please see those here: https://microneedlingqueen.com/gallery/

Not the same as Clinical Microneedling- No Skin Pen used

Microneedling is a procedure where a controlled injury is created with very small tattoo needles without pigment. This procedure can also be called "inkless tattooing" or "dry needling" (not the same as acupuncture type). The injury forces the body to heal causing it to engage fibroblast, which builds collagen. This technique repairs scars and stretch marks well and can re-pigment skin in many cases by stimulating melanin production. It is very beneficial in repairing self-harm scars, accidental scars, acne scars, stretch marks & of course surgical scars.

Nikki believes this is honestly one of the most life changing services offered in her scar repair work. Which includes scar repair, revision, camouflage and scar cover with decorative tattoos. She learned the technique in 2003, in her first class of mastectomy repair and areola & 3d nipple tattooing. She was introduced to the process then and started using it on a multitude of different scars immediately, as well as stretch mark repair. In 2005 she went out to Portland Oregon for a week-long class on emergency repairs using microneedling, as well as advanced techniques. Then in 2011 she completed training in Las Vegas to use the technique on the face, where it serves as more of a rejuvenation, correcting brown spots, fine lines, facial scars, & wrinkles. At this class she completed another 30 hours in Cosmetic Tattoo training in Las Vegas, Nevada. This gives her over 100 hours in training specific to permanent makeup and related tattoo cosmetic services, including micro-needling. Micro needling is also called collagen induction therapy because it promotes collagen production and with that-added volume. Sometimes it is called inkless tattooing due to the production of melanin it can stimulate.

Microneedling gets its name due to the fine needles used in the procedure. That being said-EXPERIENCE & superior equipment is one of the biggest differences found in Nikki’s microneedling services. Nikki Thompson does some form of microneedling weekly. So, she has over 20 years of experience in a technique most people are just learning about in 2025. Clinical microneedling is done with a tool called a Skin Pen or DR Pen. These pieces of equipment are designed to only go about 2-2.5 milometers into the skin. There is just one needle group used. They also are limited in "force" into the skin. This is so technicians who are not familiar with tattoo processes (puncturing the skin with needles for changing one’s appearance is defined as a tattoo process) do not damage their patient’s skin. This gives fair results on the face. But it is not deep or strong enough to work on scars or stretch marks effectively.

TOOLS are the 2nd difference. "Tattoo style" microneedling was created by a well-known industry professional, Susan Church, who is a Co-Founder, past president and former board member of the Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals (SPCP). She developed a method of microneedling using tattoo equipment over 2 decades ago. This allows properly trained technicians, like Nikki Thompson, to have more control over how the microneedling is performed, so each client’s needs are met. Scars will have a different set of needles and strength of equipment used vs facial microneedling. Each scar client gets their own assessment of which needle groups and force from the machine to be used. Facial microneedling tools, needle grouping and force, are also determined by each client’s needs, not because that is the only way the machine will work. Tattoo style microneedling is very individually prescribed regardless of the need being facial rejuvenation or scar repair. The extreme & quick results cannot be compared to clinical microneedling.
