Question 1

Does Cosmetic Tattooing hurt?

Accepted Answer

None of the treatments offered hurt however, if your pain threshold is a little lower than average please let me know ahead of time so that I can make any necessary arrangements for you. 
For the most past, my  clients tend to drift off during their procedures!
Please however, keep in mind if you are receiving a tattoo treatment it is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT that you supply your own anaesthetics and that they must be applied 40 minutes prior to your arrival time.

You will need to book in for a third sessions which is $150.

Question 8

Can the Results Change for Different Skin Types?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is why microblading is not recommended for clients with oily skin as it may heal blurred. 
If you are prone to oily skin, you'd be better suited to powder brows.

Question 9

How Will I Look After my Cosmetic Tattoo Visit?

Accepted Answer

The colour will appear approximately 30-40% darker than the desired shade for the following 3-4 days after your procedure. It is recommended to postpone any special occasions around the week of your procedure.

Brows usually require a two step procedure.
Following the initial treatment, a second session is required within 4-6 weeks. Although it is extremely rare (less than 2%), a client may require a third session. This can be due to the clients individual skin type (as some skin types are more resistant to the implantation of the pigment), lack of appropriate skin care or the rare white blood cell count in some cases.

Question 10

Is Cosmetic Tattooing for Everyone?

Accepted Answer

For the most part, YES!
However if you've had any medication within 3 months, chemotherapy or undergone antibiotics then please advise me prior to booking.

Question 11

Can You Have Cosmetic Tattoo Done When You're Pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Definitely not. 
You cannot do this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Any risk of infection can lead to Hep A/B. Also pregnancy can cause your face to swell leading to our pre-draw being incorrect. Being pregnant also makes your immune system extra strong making your body reject any pigment placed into the skin.

Question 12

What if I Have Allergies?

Accepted Answer

I always offer consultations and also we can do a patch test behind the ear to ease your mind of any possible allergies or side effects.

Question 13

If I Have Had Previous Tattooing by Another Artist, Can I Come to You?

Accepted Answer

Of course! 
Although you will need to book in for a face-to-face consultation with me prior so I can do an examination and then advise a price.

Question 14

Ombre vs. Feathering?

Accepted Answer

I often get asked for "natural brows"  during our consultations with a client.
All the work performed at the clinic is intended to achieve a natural look and not something that looks drawn on with a sharpie! I will delve into your skins history and ask questions about your lifestyle to ultimately determine which procedure suits you best. I want to offer you value for money and longevity for your new brows.
