OUR STORY
Tricia & Chaz — Co-founders.
The husband-and-wife team behind Olive N Sage — Reno's only dedicated paramedical tattoo studio. Eight years. One thousand clients. One mission: help people stop hiding.
THE BEGINNING
It started with a scar.
Before Olive N Sage, Tricia was a client with a scar she'd been hiding. She tried creams, lasers, makeup — nothing worked. When she discovered paramedical tattooing, everything changed. Not just the scar — but how she felt about herself.
She and Chaz built Olive N Sage together from one treatment room into Reno's only dedicated paramedical studio. Eight years. One thousand clients. They use Artemis and Get Blended Inks clinical-grade pigments, co-manage cases with Reno's top reconstructive and plastic surgeons, and teach nationwide through their academy.
That's why clients drive four hours from Sacramento and Salt Lake City to sit in their chairs.
"They don't just treat skin. They change lives. That's not a tagline — it's what happens in their chair every single day."
— Tricia & Chaz, Co-Founders

Every treatment is custom. Every color is mixed chairside. Every result is earned through meticulous technique.

People over profit
They've turned away clients when treatment wasn't right for them. Your skin and your trust matter more than a sale.
