Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cosmetic Tattooing?

Cosmetic Tattooing is a form of tattooing that will enhance your natural beauty and enhance your features you wish to me more noticeable.  This is done by implanting pigment into the dermis to appear like natural looking makeup, Cosmetic tattooing can also be referred to as permanent makeup, or micropigmentation.  

Is Cosmetic Tattooing Permanent?

All permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent as pigment is implanted into the upper reticular part of the dermal layer of the skin. As with any tattoo or implanted pigment, fading does occur, requiring periodic maintenance referred to as color boosts or touch ups.  

What is the difference between Microblading and Ombre Brows?

Microblading mimics hairstrokes, and has a more natural filled in appearance.  Powder brows resembles more of a powdery makeup look. Microblading is not a good procedure for anyone with oily skin, or sensitive skin or for someone for very little brow hair, or over previous permanent makeup on the brow area.  Powder brows  works for most skin types.

Are traditional body tattoos the same as Cosmetic Tattooing?

They both share the same principles for  implanting pigment into the skin.  Cosmetic tattooing pigment is meant to fade over time as the structure of our faces change and skin matures. Fading is necessary to allow for reshaping to be done as we age or desire a different look.  Pigment is ink, and ink is pigment.  Pigment used for cosmetic tattooing is simply a more diluted version of body tattoo pigment.

Is Cosmetic Tattooing safe?

Yes.  We use nonporous surgical grade stainless steel work trays that are properly covered.  All of our needles are one time use and pre sterilized with EO gas.  All of our needles have a sterilization report, and proof of sterilization.  All of our cartridge needles have a protective membrane to prevent back flow. All of our Microblade handles and needles are also one time use and always properly disposed of in sharps container.  Client safety and practicing proper blood borne pathogen protocols is something we take very seriously.

How often should I get a maintenance session?

We recommend that you have your brows maintenence every 18-24+ months .  The more time allowed between maintenance sessions will be better for your skin.
