Permanent Makeup
Permanent Makeup,Semi-Permanent Makeup,Micropigmentation, and Cosmetic Tattooing all mean the same thing. It's the process of implanting micro insertions of pigment into the upper dermal layer of the skin. Keep in mind that this procedure is a 2 step process and that the color will appear dark/bold after the procedure but it will start to fade when your permanent makeup starts to heal. After 6 weeks you will need your touchup that is included in your initial fee. If you wait any longer than 90 days it will no longer be free and be charged a touchup fee. Numbing is applied before and during the procedure to accommodate to your comfort. Pain depends on your pain tolerance so its really hard to give a exact number from 1-10 but it is minor. The most painful procedure is lips since it's the most delicate area. Every service requires a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to secure your spot. If you show up 15 minutes late your going to loose your spot for that day and will have to reschedule. For more information or to start your procedure book a consultation today!

Understand what procedure best works for your skin type
Everyone has different skin undertones, skin colors , and lifestyles. It is very important to choose the correct procedure and pigment color that's best for you or else the outcome can be unsatisfying and a waste of your time & hard earning money. Pigment will fade 40-50% when healed. For this reason each person will have select colors & procedures to choose from for best long lasting results.
Brows
1-2 We would recommend Light -Medium dark Pigments. Going too dark could make you look very pale. We can always go darker in your touchup session if the outcome turns out too light.
3-4 We would recommend Medium to Dark Pigments. By choosing light colors when healed it could be really light and hardly show.
5-6 We would recommend the Darkest Pigments. Choosing any lighter colors can heal to a complete different ashy unwanted color or hardly even show.
Lips
1-2 Any color will work for this skin type since its very fair the colors will heal well.
3- Could use any color as well but with some select "pinks pigments".
4- We wouldn't recommend pink colors while they might not last. Wines and oranges will last longer.
5-6 We wouldn't recommend this procedure. Darker skin tones can be hyperpigmented. Instead of healing correctly the color could get darker leaving a dissatisfying appearance. However "lip naturalization" is an option. We currently don't offer this service but we can add you to our waitlist or recommend you another place.
If you absolutely hate your cosmetic tattoo there are laser treatments that can remove the color. But that involves more money & pain. So make sure you do your research and ask us any questions you may have. We are more than happy to answer your concerns
