WHAT IS COSMETIC TATTOOING?
 

Cosmetic tattooing, also referred to as semi-permanent makeup or micropigmentation, is the process of implanting color pigment beneath the surface of the skin by means of tiny, sterile, disposable needles to produce the appearance of hair strokes, makeup, or to enhance the natural features of the face.  

DOES MICROBLADING HURT?
Everyone has an individual pain threshold, and that is why the numbing cream is used to make the patient more comfortable and relaxed. Some clients can feel the procedure as it's being performed and others, not so much.
 

 

HOW LONG DOES COSMETIC TATTOOING LAST?
 

Cosmetic tattoo treatments are considered semi-permanent and will not wash off, however, they will fade over time and may need to be refreshed every 1-2 years. Frequency of touch-ups depends on a number of factors including: the pigment color used (lighter colors fade faster), lifestyle (sun exposure), and if any chemical peels come into contact with treated areas.

Please note that final results CAN NOT be guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and break down at different rates. We will re-evaluate how your skin has received the pigment at your touch-up appointment and make any changes necessary.

Touch-ups are normal for cosmetic tattoo procedures, with each new procedure requiring at least 2 visits. The initial procedure followed by a touch-up procedure about 2 months later. Previously tattooed areas will generally always require additional appointments.

 

 

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
 

For most clients, a minimum of two treatments are usually needed, at least 6-8 weeks apart. With most procedures, the color looks dramatically lighter after the first week. Some clients prefer this, while others opt for a bolder look. At the second treatment, we will assess the color retention and make adjustments as necessary.

Everyone heals differently and at different rates. If your cosmetic tattoo does not heal perfectly the first time, do not worry! We can always go darker and add more density at your next appointment. :)

 

 

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE MY EYEBROW PROCEDURE?

​

• Have your initial consultation

• If you have an ideal shape and color in mind, bring a few reference photos with you to your appointment.

• You may fill in your eyebrows as you normally would so we can take into consideration the shape you desire.

• If you regularly get your eyebrows shaped, waxed, threaded or tinted, please do so at least 3 days before your appointment. If there are any stray hairs that fall outside of our final shape, we can remove them.

• We require our clients to avoid any blood thinning medication for a minimum of 72 hours prior to their appointment. This includes Vitamin E, Aspirin, Niacin, fish oil supplements, and Ibuprofen.

• Do not drink any alcohol the night before and day of your appointment and NO caffeine the day.

• If you have been on prescription Accutane in the past, you MUST wait at least one year before considering this procedure.

• It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or a sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will forfeit your deposit. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the pigment with it.

 

 

HOW WILL I LOOK IMMEDIATELY AFTER? WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS?
 

Your semi-permanent makeup will appear darker and more intense than expected for the first few days. This will gradually lighten during the complete healing process. Redness and swelling is minimal.

 

 

WILL COSMETIC TATTOOING WORK WELL FOR ME?
 

If you have extremely oily skin, the hair stroke eyebrow technique will not work well for you. The constant production of oil will cause the hair strokes to heal with a diffused, softer look. Your end result will look more powdered than you would expect.
If you have little to no existing hair, your tattoo will appear more 2-dimensional than those clients who have more hair naturally.
If you are a frequent smoker, your pigment may fade sooner.
If you are iron deficient or Anemic, your pigment may fade sooner and bleeding/bruising may occur during and after the procedure.

 

 

IS THE STUDIO AND EQUIPMENT SAFE?
 

Absolutely! I pride myself in having an immaculate and sterile studio space. I only use single use, disposable needles and supplies. This means that each set-up for each new client is discarded safely, afterwards. The station is thoroughly disinfected before opening and after each procedure throughout the day.
