T
hough one might expect to see things
like adobe-inspired walls, cowhide inlaid
cabinetry, arched doorways, and equestrian
art in homes scattered across the Southwest,
it’s hardly commonplace to the interiors of houses
in the Southeast—much less those on the coast of
Florida, where décor runs more to ropes tied in
nautical knots than rodeo ropes and lassos.
But sitting astride a horse is something that
Pensacola native Trinkette Parker knows well, herself
a championship barrel racer whose time at the rodeo
could almost rival the time she spends working as a
permanent makeup artist. The owner of Permanent
Makeup Clinic, Inc., located along Scenic Highway,
Trinkette is a highly skilled artist whose greatest
satisfaction is working with clients who have come
to her seeking help with facial reconstructive work
and breast cancer patients with the need for realistic
nipple recreation. One peek in her office, and you
know—Trinkette is a woman with a love for sparkle,
shine, and all things pink. Frilly and feminine as her
office at work might be, however, her home is far
greater a reflection of her horsewoman side, the side
that doesn’t mind the dirt and grit being kicked up her
face as she rounds the barrels to keep the ticking clock
from getting the best of her.
