What is Cosmetic Tattooing?

Cosmetic tattooing involves implanting pigment into the dermis layer of the skin using tiny, sterile needles. It enhances facial features like brows, eyeliner, or lips, creating a natural look that lasts longer than traditional makeup.

How is Cosmetic Tattooing Different from Standard Body Tattooing?

Cosmetic tattooing is designed to enhance natural features, offering softer, more subtle results than body tattoos. Unlike body tattoos that use ink, cosmetic tattoos use fading pigments that change over time, allowing for adjustments as your skin and features evolve.

How Long Does Cosmetic Tattooing Last?

Cosmetic tattoos fade over time, typically lasting 1-2 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and pigment color. Touch-ups are common, and a follow-up appointment is typically scheduled 4-6 weeks after the initial session to refine the results.

Does Cosmetic Tattooing Hurt?

Most clients report minimal discomfort due to the numbing cream applied before the procedure. Pain levels vary, but on average, most rate it as a 1-2 out of 10. Pain may be higher during your menstrual cycle, and smoking can reduce numbing effectiveness.

How Long Does the Healing Process Take?

Healing generally takes 7-10 days. During this time, avoid getting the area wet, excessive sweating, or applying makeup. Following aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal results.

What Factors Can Affect My Cosmetic Tattoo?

Sun exposure, skin regeneration, pigment absorption, and the choice of color can all impact how your tattoo fades. Aftercare is essential—failure to follow instructions can lead to poor results or infection.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The procedure typically requires two sessions. The first session takes up to 3 hours to apply pigment, and the second touch-up session is scheduled 4-6 weeks later, lasting up to 2 hours to refine the results.

Why Is a Touch-Up Necessary?

Touch-ups are essential because healing varies from person to person. The initial results may appear lighter as the skin heals, and the second session allows for adjustments in color and shape to perfect the look.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microblading?

Microblading is not recommended for those with oily skin, large pores, or certain skin conditions. Alternatives like Microshading or Ombré Powder Brows may be more suitable. We’ll recommend the best option based on your skin type during the consultation.

Are the Studio and Equipment Safe?

Yes, the studio is disinfected thoroughly before and between each procedure, and only sterile, single-use needles and equipment are used to ensure safety and hygiene.
