Laser Tattoo Removal & HIFU Ultraformer MPT SpecialistMeet Sugar May – Our Resident Therapy Pup
Sugar May is the heart and soul of the salon — our beloved little companion who brings warmth, comfort, and smiles to every client who walks through the door.
She’s a tiny 1.7kg toy poodle, and while she may be small, her presence is truly unforgettable. Known for her gentle nature and affectionate personality, Sugar May has a special way of making everyone feel instantly at ease.
Whether she’s quietly sitting beside you or happily curling up on your lap, she offers a calming presence that many of our clients look forward to just as much as their treatments.
Often described as the sweetest and most caring little dog, Sugar May plays her own unique role in the clinic by providing a touch of “dog therapy” — helping clients relax, feel comfortable, and truly enjoy their experience.
Many of our regulars return not only for their treatments, but to spend time with her — and it’s easy to see why.
At Cosmetic Tattooing Melbourne, we believe beauty is about how you feel as well as how you look… and Sugar May is a big part of creating that welcoming, feel-good environment.
