HOW DOES COSMETIC TATTOOING WORK?
​
Cosmetic tattoo is a semi permanent treatment. Micro blading involves implanting pigment into the basal layer of the epidermis by using very fine hand held needles, to etch and mimic brow hair. The shading technique involves the tattoo machine, the combination of both can complement the final outcome. Local anaesthetic cream is applied before and during the procedure. Allow 2 hours for each appointment.
​
A second appointment is necessary, and offered 4-6 weeks later to touch up and finish the tattoo.
-
How do I prepare for my tattoo?Clients are advised not to have chemical peels, laser or over exposure to the sun the week before cosmetic tattoo. Also avoid alcohol 24 hours prior.
-
Will the tattoo hurt?Most people experience a little discomfort. Topical numbing solution is used to minimise this discomfort for the duration of the procedure.
-
How do I care for my tattoo?Colours will appear darker for approximately three days, then the pigment will gradually appear more natural. - No sun or water directly on the pigment in the first week after the procedure. -Lifestyle, including medication, smoking and metabolism all contribute to fading over time. It is recommended that sun block be worn over the pigmented area to prevent the pigment from fading. Clients will be given detailed instructions on the care of tattoo post procedure.
-
Will I need a follow up treatment?Final results cannot be determined until touch up application is completed. A scheduled visit after a month will determine the necessity of a retouch application. Cosmetic tattoo is semi-permanent and will require periodic colour boost treatment at a later date. To maintain a fresh appearance, a regular retouch application may be considered after 12-18 months.
-
