Question 1

How Long is the Procedure?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the service, the initial appointment is roughly 3 hours. When you arrive, we immediately numb the area for 20 minutes and discuss any questions or concerns, as well as any preferences you have regarding the final outcome. Then, we will draw an outline that will be our guide during the procedure to stay within - you will also have the opportunity to request any changes to the stencil to meet your preferences. ​For Powdered Brows the color we will use is intended to heal to match the color of any existing brow hair, so there's a seamless blend between the tattooed hair and your existing brows.For Eyeliner and Lips, we will discuss your preferences and provide you with our professional opinion on how to best achieve your desired results.The tattooing itself usually takes around an hour and a half, but we recommend allowing for a full 3 hours to complete the procedure.Appointments can sometimes run longer if the artist deems it necessary, so we recommend not having any time-sensitive commitments immediately following your procedure.

Question 2

Can I wear makeup to the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please do not wear any foundation, heavy eye makeup, or lipstick to your appointment. While we allow for brow makeup if there's a specific shape you're looking for, we do remove it prior to the procedure.Our technicians often gently rest their hands on various parts of the face while they work, so it's inevitable the rest of your makeup will be smeared during the process.We want to ensure that your face is clean and bacteria-free to minimize the risk of infection. Arriving at your appointment with a full face of makeup only increases that risk.

Question 3

Will it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Everyone is different, with varying degrees of pain tolerance. It would be misleading to say that you won't experience any pain. It's a cosmetic tattoo, and we’re implanting the ink into your skin.However, we will be using a topical local anesthetic before the procedure.After the first pass, we add additional numbing agents that can then more easily absorb into your skin and take full effect. At this point, you should feel nothing except for pressure (similar to the dentist).Is it worth the pain? ABSOLUTELY. If we can do it, you can do it.

Question 4

Can I drive to and from the appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You should have no visibility issues driving home from the appointment for any of the services we offer.

Question 5

How long does it take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Permanent makeup typically takes 5 weeks to be completely healed.​The first 10 days: no makeup, sweating, or swimming.Please follow all aftercare instructions + always wear a hat and use sunscreen!
