DOES COSMETIC TATTOOING HURT?
Topical anesthetics are used to maximize your comfort during any cosmetic tattooing procedure, however pain tolerance varies from client to client.
HOW LONG WILL MY COSMETIC TATTOO LAST?
Cosmetic tattooing is considered semi-permanent as it does not wash away, however all tattoo pigments fade over time. Results vary depending on skin type and lifestyle. For best results it is recommended that you follow aftercare instructions and touch-up your tattoo every 1-2 years (or as needed).

**Please make sure you are healthy enough to be tattooed before booking an appointment! If you have any concerns about whether or not you are a good candidate for permanent makeup please consult with your doctor and confirm you are healthy enough to receive a tattoo!***
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
If you prefer to have your eyebrows waxed/threaded please do so at least 48 hours before your appointment, otherwise we can remove stray hairs after we design your brows.
Please prepare for your pictures to be taken at your appointment.
You must not go tanning for 30 days prior to your procedure.
You must not use Retin-A near the tattooed area before or after the procedure
You cannot take any medications that may thin your blood (i.e. Asprin, Ibuprofen, Fish Oil, Vitamin E) 72 hours before or immediately after your procedure.
Do not drink alcohol the night before or day of your procedure.
Doing any of the above may cause bleeding, which will affect how well your body retains pigment.
As with every tattoo, we recommend avoiding pools, salt water and extreme sun exposure for at least two weeks following your appointment, so make vacation plans accordingly!
Avoid caffeine the day of your appointment.
Botox should be done one month before or one month after.
Please be advised you are more sensitive during and around your menstrual cycle.
Eat a snack as it can take 2.5 hours for new eyebrows.
Take a Tylenol if you are more sensitive to pain or buy Elma Cream from the drugstore and apply to your brows 30 mins before your appointment.
Go to the gym BEFORE your appointment. No cardio or sweating for 7 days after your appointment.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MY APPOINTMENT?
Your brow area will be thoroughly cleaned and I will apply a topical anesthetic.
While you are numbing, we will have a consultation about your brows.
Pictures will be taken before and after your service.
Once you have finished numbing I will begin designing your brows. I will take into account your skin type, existing brows and bone structure and give my recommendations. We will work together to create brows that are flattering and will look the most natural. It is important to keep in mind that this service is very different from applying makeup. Depending on your brows and bone structure, makeup may still be needed to achieve more dramatic brow looks once you have healed.
Once a shape is determined and approved, I will begin tattooing. Additional anesthetics will be applied throughout the process to help keep you as comfortable as possible.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY APPOINTMENT?
Following your procedure your tattoo will appear much darker and bolder than it will heal due to oxidation in the surface layer of your skin. Your tattoo will also appear warmer in color. You may experience some redness or swelling around the tattooed area, though this typically disappears within 48 hours.
Within a few days (5-10) you will notice some scabbing or flaking on the tattooed area, do not pick at these, doing so can result in loss of pigment in those areas. Brows may appear spotty or patchy until the entire brow has finished exfoliating. You may notice that some areas may appear very light or even to have lost pigment entirely after they have peeled. The epidermis will normalize over the next 4-6 weeks and softened pigment will resurface and “bloom” back into the surface of the skin.
At 6-8 weeks your brows will be fully healed. If you prefer darker, bolder brows we can always add more color or dimension during your follow-up appointment!
​
WHAT IS THE BROW AFTER CARE?
***HEALED RESULTS VARY, NOT FOLLOWING AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS AFFECTS RETENTION***
For the first 7 days avoid all water contact on your new eyebrows.
We provide a vitamin A & D ointment for you to take home and apply twice daily for 7 days.
Any redness or irritation will go down within 2 hours after your appointment.
Please be reminded the first 7 days is NOT your true results as the pigment has not yet peeled completely so they may look DARK or INTENSE.
Typical healing time is about 2 weeks.
Things to avoid while healing: Tanning, Swimming, Saunas, Hot tubs, Gym or any activity that may cause you to excessively sweat.
​
FOR LIP BLUSH/NEUTRALIZING
Please be aware that if you have oral herpes, you may awaken an outbreak following this treatment. It is highly recommended to take anti-viral medication 3 days before, the day of, then 3 days after or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist. If your appointment is booked during an outbreak of cold sores on your lips the procedure may not be done and needs to be rescheduled.
Do not get lip injections 4 weeks before and after this treatment.
After your lip blush appointment keep your lips thoroughly moisturized. Your lips will go through a peeling phase, and the color will change during the healing process. Allow up to 6 weeks for fully healed results. Touch ups may be required as results vary.
