Frequently Asked Questions

What is Permanent Makeup?

Permanent Makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, micropigmentation, or semi-permanent makeup, involves implanting pigment into the skin to mimic the look of everyday cosmetics. Think of it as your beauty, on autopilot—smudge-free, waterproof, and long-lasting.
Unlike traditional tattoos, PMU pigments are designed to fade gradually over time (typically 1–5 years), allowing room for adjustments to shape and tone as your features evolve.

How Long Does Permanent Makeup Last?

Brows, lips, and eyeliner tattoos generally last between 1–5 years, depending on:

Skin type (oilier skin fades faster)
Sun exposure and skincare habits
Immune response and pigment retention
Lifestyle and age

Think of it like hair color, it fades with time and will need a color boost every now and then.

What’s the Difference Between Microblading and Powder Brows?

While both are popular eyebrow tattoo techniques, Microblading uses tiny blade-like needles to create hair-like strokes, while Powder Brows (also known as Ombre Brows) use a soft shading method that gives a more defined, makeup-like finish.
I use nano strokes, which are gentler and more precise than traditional microblading—perfect for natural-looking results with less trauma to the skin.

Is Cosmetic Tattooing Painful?

In short, not really.
Numbing cream is applied to all services to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Most clients are surprised by how little they feel—some even doze off mid-procedure!

Is There Aftercare Involved?

Do I Need to Shave My Eyebrows First?

Absolutely not. Whether you have full, sparse, or no brows, the treatment is tailored to your current hair growth. I work with what you’ve got to enhance your natural beauty.

Is There an Age Limit?

Yes, you must be 18 or older to receive any permanent makeup procedure. There’s no upper age limit—beauty is timeless.

Do You Offer Payment Plans?

Yes! I am signed up AfterPay and offer flexible payment plans for:

Powder Brows
Combo Brows
Nano Strokes
Lip Blush
Eyeliner Tattoo
Touch-Up Sessions

Just ask during your consultation—confidence should never feel out of reach.

Can I Still Get Permanent Makeup if I Have Previous Work Done?

Yes, but it depends on the condition of the previous tattoo. I offer corrections, refreshes, and cover-ups after a proper assessment. A clear photo or in-person consultation will help determine your best options.

Is Permanent Makeup Safe for Sensitive Skin or Medical Conditions?

Generally, yes. However, certain conditions may require a doctor’s note or patch testing first. If you have any skin disorders, are on blood thinners, or are pregnant, please let me know in advance.

How Do I Book a Consultation or Appointment?

I'm here to walk you through everything, no pressure just honest, personalized advice.

Will My Cosmetic Tattoo Look Natural?

Yes, absolutely. The pigment is layered gradually, allowing for a soft build-up of color.
I involve you every step of the way, including shape checks, color adjustments, and saturation preferences. You’re part of the process not just a canvas.

Do I Need a TouchUp?

Yes. Your first perfecting session happens around 6–8 weeks post-treatment to adjust any minor inconsistencies after healing.
This is typically included in your package.
After that, most clients return for a top-up every 1–3 years to refresh color and definition.

How Long Does Each Appointment Take?

Initial appointments take between 2–3 hours, depending on the treatment and complexity.
It’s a sacred pause from the hustle come in, relax, and allow yourself the luxury of time well spent.

Will I Bruise or Swell?

Mild redness or slight swelling is common but usually fades within 24–48 hours.
Rarely, some clients may experience mild bruising, especially with lip and eyeliner procedures.
