Frequently
Asked
Questions
Is it or is it not a tattoo?
it is. Anytime ink is put underneath the skin It legally is a tattoo yet, We use a different ink and techniques/depths than body tattoo’s which are done In a deeper layer of the skin. We use ink made for the face and meant to slowly fade so that we can continue to work through our changes (aging).
Is what you do microblading?
Not exactly, like the name suggests. Microblading is using a small blade and making small hair like cuts in the skin.
As an artist through the years we found that it creates a lot of unnecessary trauma to the skin. Which makes it harder to work on in future times as scared skin does not heal as well.
It also looks natural immediately after but the healed result does not.
It is painful and more delicate to heal.
Most people are not candidates.
There are other ways to achieve a soft hair stroke look without doing microblading. It’s called nano strokes. Which we offer.
Can I workout after getting my brows, lips or eyeliner done?
Not for 7 days, sweating will make you heal spotty. Permanent Makeup is an investment that should be take care of as best as possible.
How long does it last?
Permanent makeup brows lasts about 2 years before needing a color refresher. Lip blushing (lip tattoo) lasts about 3 years before needing a retouch if properly cared for. The use of daily sunscreen is suggested.
Is there anything I can do so my permanent makeup (PMU, tattoo) lasts longer?
Yes! We love this question it means you will be a great client. We recommend the use of daily sunscreen. Retinol or active products like vitamin c should be put away from your permanent Makeup. Please ask your dermatologist, esthetician when they recommend a new product. If you are unsure please feel free to send us a text. We will be happy to assist. If you are getting a peel or laser, let the dr know of your permanent Makeup so it can be covered.
Can I have permanent makeup (PMU, ombré tattoo, lip blushing) if I have cancer and I am going through treatment?
Yes, we will always confirm it with your oncologist to have you cleared for it, as a safety measure. We understand some of our clients will be in treatment and although things are different for those patients we understand the importance to wake up feeling ready and put behind you the worry of drawing your brows on daily or putting color in your lips.
It permanent makeup recommended if I have alopecia?
Yes, it is definitely an option. We have noticed our clients with alopecia tends to heal a bit softer/lighter. So any color needed will be added at the time of the follow up appointment.

We do through afterpay, it is not directly through us but it does allow for payment in 4 with no interest if you qualify for the amount.
