  • This is a great first step for those new to the semi permanent world of beauty. Microblading is done by use of a hand tool and a micro (in size) blade to produce hair-like strokes in the utmost layers of your skin. When done properly, the delicate placement should fade out very naturally (12 - 18 months for most) - leaving you with minimal commitment and the versatility to update your look as trends and your personal desires change.

    Best Suited for : Normal, dry or combination/slightly oily skin.

    Applicable on: Smooth skin and less mature textures.

  • Yes, unfortunately cosmetic tattooing cannot be performed on individuals who are pregnant, diabetic (unless you have a doctor's note), history of keloiding or if you have a heart condition. People with certain allergies (alcohol, heavy metals), skin conditions (rosacea, psoriasis, eczema) or autoimmune / thyroid diseases should be very apprehensive about having a cosmetic tattoo preformed.

  • Discomfort is relative and very much specific to the individual. Whether brows, lips, removal, or skin treatment, most of our clients would describe any sensation as minimal to tolerable. Topical anesthetics can be used throughout your treatment to help ease sensation if needed. Thoughtful measures to help prevent any added sensitivity include: diligently following your pre-care to prep the skin (and for our female clients book your appointment to occur outside of your cycle if possible).

  • Yes! It’s totally normal to have some slight redness and/or swelling but it’s something only you will notice and subsides most often in a few hours. The area may feel tight and tender after the procedure and your brows will appear super bold and crisp.

  • Cosmetic tattooing is designed to enhance your natural features. Cosmetic tattoo artists utilize pigments to create a subtle, natural looking enhancement that will simply fade out in time. Fading is desired as it allows the artist to make changes to color and shape over time as your natural coloration and facial changes occur.

    Body tattoos are applied to a much deeper layer of skin, which is why they are permanent.

  • Healing will vary slightly based on the treatment but you can expect approximately 7-14 days for surface healing to be complete. The first few days after your treatment, the tattoo will be at its boldest. As healing begins, pigment will appear darker and then gradually settle in to a softer more natural shade over the first few weeks. You may experience slight tightness or flaking throughout healing process; this is very normal and your artist will provide you with the proper aftercare products to help aid you during this brief transition.
