FAQ
-
Does it hurt?
Everyone has a different level of sensitivity so topical anesthetics are applied before and during treatment to alleviate any sensation or discomfort. You will hear a scratch noise/ sensation throughout. Music is played during procedure, however feel free to bring your own ear phones and music to distract you.
-
How often do I need a touch up?
In order to keep eyebrow tattoo results looking fresh, we recommend a touch up every year or when needed. Less is more when it comes to Permanent make-up. There will be a point in time where you’re going to have to fill in your brows in the meantime before coming in for a touch up. Reach out to your artist before booking.
Permanent make up is “low-maintenance” not “no maintenance”.
-
How long does it last?
It will last as long as it’s maintained. How long brows last will vary depending on your skin type and how well your skin takes in pigment during the session. After a touch up, brows are expected to last from 1 to 3 years depending on skin retention, time in the sun and daily skin routines (more exfoliating products, faster the fade).
-
Why do I need a touch up if this is semi-permanent?
Because color is implanted in the facial area there tends to be more fluid circulation than other parts of the body. Your face sees the most wear of any piece of you—exposure to the sun, food, facial products—the list goes on and on. All of these things cause permanent color to fade, this is why you need a touch up.
-
How long does it take to heal?
Healing time varies from individual to individual. Usually, it takes about a week to 14 days for the epithelial crust to form and slough off. Your skin will be considered healed after that happens. Then, the pigment takes some time to settle into the skin. A good month should pass before I consider the process complete.

Can you guarantee your work?
Unfortunately, I can't. How the skin will react is different for everyone and many factors are to be taken into consideration. Skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, etc. all play a key role in your results, which is why it is important to know that more than one touch up may be required.
I always make sure that your face is important to me and I will act in accordance with my experience and expertise to give you my absolute best. But there are no guarantees in this industry. Please think long and hard before you decide to go for it.
Although Microblading or Ombre shading tattoo is considered to be semi-permanent, the procedure does allow flexibility for color or shape change to some extent. However, I will work closely with you to ensure that you are satisfied with the proposed technique. I will allow you to have as much control over the procedure as possible, so there’s very little room for error. If you do not like the decision you made, the Touch Up can be cancelled and the pigmented area naturally fades over time. If you aren’t 100% sure you would benefit from this procedure, please opt for a more temporary options.
