Originally a professional make-up artist, Jody trained in permanent makeup and paramedical tattooing in 2007 and opened her clinic @cinnamongirlclinic in 2008. Jody has served well over ten thousand cosmetic and paramedical clients, quickly becoming recognized as an industry leader.

In 2013 after being diagnosed with thyroid cancer and undergoing a full thyroidectomy Jody learned firsthand the healing power of paramedical tattooing when she camouflaged her own neck scar. Before doing so she was self conscious about the scar and would feel as though it was the main focal point when interacting with others.

She’s served as a board member of the American Academy of Micropigmentation and has partnered with doctors and plastic surgeons, offering information sessions at local hospitals regarding the various options available to those recovering from injury or trauma.

In 2019 Jody built an online training academy to train experienced tattoo artists and has acquired more than 1200 students in over 40 countries. She’s been featured in Buzzfeed, Brut Media and The Mirror (UK) and numerous other international and local publications.
