I am so happy I chose face painting by Agin, the quality of the work was very high, he was very good with the children and an adult (Mike Tyson face tattoo), he was punctual and very organised, I would definitely recommend him, you won’t be disappointed

Booked for Birthday party

Lou was absolutely fantastic and a pleasure to work with. Teens are not easy to please, but Lou was so great with the girls. She made everyone happy and they talked about their tattoos for weeks. She was well prepared, passionate, caring and nothing was too much for her. It is not just a face painting, it is art/tattoo/make up and more. The girls had very different tastes but Lou always created something beautiful, amazing or simple. Everyone enjoyed it. I am so happy I chose her to celebrate my daughter's 14th birthday. She was a real blessing and my friend is thinking about hiring her. Adults instead of teens this time.

Booked for Birthday party for kids

Tracy did an amazing job painting the children's faces! She was really fast, and she was able to fulfil all the children requests (from animals, to super hero or disney characters)! I booked a 2 hour slot for 30 children and she was able to paint everyone's faces with time to spare! Super friendly and extremely professional! I would definitely book Tracy again or recommend her!!!!
