Is cosmetic tattooing painful? 

We apply an anesthetic cream prior to your procedure. We also check in with you and apply more numbing treatment as required throughout your procedure.
Every effort is made to keep you as comfortable as possible but please bear in mind pain thresholds differ from person to person.

 

Who cannot undergo cosmetic tattooing?             

• Those who are pregnant are advised not to go ahead with this type of cosmetic procedure

• Those who are prone to Keloid Scarring

• Those who have allergies to hair dyes, makeup or jewellery

• Those who are taking certain medications eg. Roacutane acne treatment, and certain blood thinners.

If you are unsure whether or not cosmetic tattooing is appropriate for you, please contact us to discuss.

 

What is the healing process?

EYEBROWS
Your eyebrows will look fantastic straight after the procedure. On days two to four they will appear darker as the pigment slightly scabs - don’t worry, they will not stay that way! Over the four weeks, before your touch-up session, you may find some strokes have faded and parts of the brow have gone patchy. This is completely normal and the reason a second session is required.

LIP LINE & BLEND
After having your lips tattooed the colour will appear much darker as the pigment comes to the surface of the skin. Your lips will look very intense for about three days so we recommend booking treatment at a time that avoids important social events in the first week of healing. After three to four days the colour will start to settle and look more natural. You may experience some patchiness where the colour has taken better in certain spots - for this reason it is very important to have your second appointment to address any trouble areas and finalise treatment.

EYE LINER / LASH ENHANCEMENT
Immediately after the procedure your eyeliner will appear very intense and harsh. This is totally normal and nothing to be concerned about. When the colour has settled and the skin has healed your liner will appear a lot softer. As with all cosmetic tattooing treatments, you may experience some fading and patchiness between your first and second appointment.

 

What will make my brows fade faster?

• Iron deficiency

• Sun exposure

• Exfoliants

• Strong immune systems

• Exposure to salt water

• Smoking

 

What is required for aftercare?

At the conclusion of your appointment you will be provided with aftercare cream. You must not get the tattooed area wet for seven days and you will need to apply aftercare cream once per day for that period. During this time no makeup can be applied directly to the tattooed area. After seven days of aftercare has passed you can get the area wet and apply makeup as normal.
