  Cosmetic tattooing is a tattoo, meaning pigment is implanted into the skin. Many modern techniques and pigments are designed to fade gradually over time, but there is no reliable way to predict exactly how long the pigment will remain visible in the skin.

The term “semi-permanent” is often used to describe cosmetic tattooing, but it can be misleading. Every person’s skin retains pigment differently, and results vary based on factors such as skin type, sun exposure, skincare products, and natural skin regeneration.

As the tattoo ages, the pigment may fade, soften, or shift in color, which is why periodic maintenance or color refresh appointments are typically recommended.

Pain is experienced differently by everyone but I do everything I can to keep my clients a comfortable as possible from beginning to the end. In most all cases a topical Anesthetic is applied at the beginning of your appointment.

Depending on the treatment done, in most cases, Cosmetic Tattooing will last between 1-3 years before a touch up is needed . Despite popular belief, the work will still be visible in the first few years and there is no way to truly know when the work will not be completely gone.

Several factors play into how long your Cosmetic Tattoo will last. Things such as skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare can affect how long the client can go between touch-ups.

Microblading is now a popular term for a form of Cosmetic Tattooing of the eyebrow. However,  styles and techniques can be confusing. When most people think of "Microblading" they are thinking of the manual tool used to create hair strokes. The hair stroke look can be achieved with a manual tool or by a permanent makeup machine.  

A permanent makeup machine is very similar to a traditional tattoo machine with a few small differences.

- I do not use the manual tool to create my brows. Everything is done with a rotary PMU machine. 

Nano-strokes is a technique used to create what looks like a piece of hair. Shading is a soft deposit of color that can give a shading effect if done with hair strokes or it can give a soft makeup look.  

All new clients need to complete either the virtual consultation form or an in person consultation before setting up a whole appointment. We will sit down together and figure out what is the best style and technique for you.
