All appointments begin with a before photo and a built in consultation. During the consultation, we will discuss your expectations, personal preferences and lifestyle which all play a part in deciding technique, style and color of your new brows, lips or freckles. I’ll do a pre-draw that we’ll look at together and any alterations to the pre-draw can be made at that time. Once the procedure is over, you get to see your new brows, lips or freckles! Another photo will be taken and then we’ll go over after-care, book your follow-up and answer any questions you may have.

Brows and lip-blush both have a mandatory follow-up appointment built into the price. The appointment is booked 6-12 weeks after your initial appointment. Everybody heals differently, so this appointment is crucial to build saturation and touch-up anything that may not have healed in. Some clients may require more than the two appointments.

Please send a clear, well-lit photo of the area you are looking to have tattooed. This will allow me to review what your previous work looks like to determine if you are a good candidate for a cover-up.
Any previous work that is too saturated may need removal before moving forward with any appointments. -
Please look over the information in the pre-care section. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions regarding pre-care.

Most clients experience little to no discomfort during their appointment because an effective anesthetic is applied throughout the appointment! A topical numbing cream is applied before brow appointments. Lip blush and freckles begin without numbing, but can be used during the appointment to keep the client as comfortable as possible.
Clients who have an appointment during their menstrual cycle may experience a lower pain threshold.
If you have a resistance to any anesthetic (yes, even at the dentist!) please let me know ahead of time!

It is recommended to touch up your cosmetic tattoo every 2-5 years. Some clients may need to come sooner or later than that time frame depending on that clients skin type, lifestyle and skincare.
