The Answers You Need
Browse this FAQ list to find answers to some of the most common questions I’ve received about the work and the variety of services we offer. We’ve tried to be as comprehensive as possible, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you need more information.
DO YOU OFFER FREE CONSULTATIONS?
AWLAYS! WE LOVE MEETING OUR POTENTIAL CLIENTS.
IS PERMANENT MAKEUP PAINFUL?
EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF PAIN TOLERANCE BUT MOST CLIENTS ARE COMPLETELY COMFORTABLE AND RELAXED DURING THE APPOINTMENT. YOU MAY FEEL SLIGHT DISCOMFORT BUT THE RESULTS WILL FAR OUTWEIGH THIS. YOU MAY TAKE TYLENOL PRIOR TO THE APPOINTMENT BUT NOT ASPRIN. A HIGHLY EFFECTIVE NUMBING SOLUTION IS APPLIED BEFORE AND DURING THE TREATMENT TO KEEP YOU FEELING AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE.
HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED A TOUCH UP?
YOUR BROW TATTOO CAN LAST 1-3 YEARS DEPENDING ON SUN EXPOSURE, LIFESTYLE AND SKIN TYPE. OILY SKIN TYPES TEND TO FADE FASTER THAN DRY SKIN TYPES.
LIPS AND LINER CAN LAST 2-5 YEARS.
YOU NEED TO BE AT LEAST 40-50 PERCENT FADED PRIOR TO A REFRESHMENT TOUCH UP, THIS IS TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE SKIN.
DO YOU USE CLEAN NEEDLES?
EVERY CLIENT HAS A NEW, STERILE, SINGLE USE NEEDLE. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TREATMENT YOU CAN OBSERVE THE NEEDLES BEING TAKEN OUT OF A STERILE PRE-PACKED CASING. ON COMPLETION OF THE TREATMENT, THE NEEDLES ARE PLACED INTO A SHARPS CONTAINER AND THEN DISPOSED OF CORRECTLY.

PERMANENT COSMETICS ARE NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT OR NURSING.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
CLIENTS SKIN TYPE PLAYS THE BIGGEST ROLE IN LONGEVITY AND THE GENERAL OUTCOME OF THE PROCEDURE. OILY SKIN TYPES HAIR STROKES MAY HEAL SOFTER WITH A POWDER FINISH WHILE DRIER SKIN TYPES MAY HEAL MORE CRIPS AND DEFINED. DARKER PIGMENTS TEND TO LAST LONGER. PROPER UVA/UVB PROTECTION WILL PREVENT COLOUR FROM FADING AS QUICKLY WHEN IN SUNNY CLIMATES.
HOW LONG IS THE APPOINTMENT?
APPOINTMENTS ARE BOOKED ON A 2-3 HOUR BASIS, ALLOWING FOR THOROUGH CONSULTATION AND TREATMENT. TATTOOING TIME VARIES FOR EACH TREATMENT.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT MY APPOINTMENT?
WE BEGIN BY MAPPING OUT YOUR BROWS, LIPS OR LINER AND USE VARIOUS MEASURING DEVICES TO CREATE IDEAL SYMMETRY. WE CAN ALSO TEST COLOR CHOICE AGAINST YOUR SKIN SO YOU CAN SEE IT PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE. A NUMBING SOLUTION IS USED DURING THE PROCEDURE TO ENSURE THE APPOINTMENT IS AS COMFORTABLE AS POSSIBLE FOR THE CLIENT
THE 2-3 HOUR APPOINTMENT IS EXTREMELY INTERACTIVE TO HELP KEEP CLIENTS NERVES AT REST. HEALING IS A SIMPLE PROCESS. THERE IS NO THICK SCABBING, NO NEED TO HIDE OR TAKE TIME OFF WORK, NO DOWN TIME AT ALL. CLIENTS ARE SENT HOME WITH AN AFTERCARE KIT AND INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW FOR 10 DAYS POST TREATMENT.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE APPOINTMENT?
MOST CLIENTS LEAVE THE APPOINTMENT WITH NO REDNESS. THE NUMBING SOLUTION USED DURING THE APPOINTMENT HELPS TO CONTROL ANY SWELLING OR REDNESS WHICH MEANS YOU CAN CONTINUE YOUR DAY WITH NO FUNNY LOOKS OR QUESTIONS. CLIENTS EVEN COME ON THEIR LUNCH HOUR AND RETURN TO WORK DIRECTLY AFTER THE APPOINTMENT. YOUR RESULTS WILL VARY DEPENDING ON SKIN TYPE, LIFESTYLE AND THE IMMEDIATE AND LONG-TERM AFTERCARE OF YOUR NEW TATTOO.
WHERE CAN I FIND EXAMPLES OF YOUR WORK?

IF I HAVE PREVIOUS PERMANENT MAKE UP DONE SOMEWHERE ELSE CAN I STILL BOOK AN APPOINTMENT?
WE DO REQUIRE A CONSULT IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUS WORK SO WE CAN DETERMINE IF WE CAN GO OVER YOUR EXISTING TATTOO. YOU MAY REQUIRE COLOR CORRECTION OR LIGHTING AND THIS MUST BE DETERMINED FIRST.
