Unfortunately, I can’t. How the skin will react differently for everyone and many factors are to be taken into consideration. Skin type, age, scarring, diet, stress levels, facial products used, etc. all play a key role in how the pigment will hold, which is why it is important to know that more than one touch-up may be required.

I can guarantee that your face is important to me and that I will act in accordance with my experience and expertise to give you my absolute best. I can guarantee that I will strive to make you gratified and content every time. But there are no guarantees in this industry. Please think long and hard before you decide to go for it.

No. There’s no downtime associated with the treatment. Redness and swelling will dissipate within an hour. Your brows will appear darker initially, but not so dark that you will be prevented from your activities of daily living.

The procedure takes roughly about 2 hours, but sometimes more and sometimes less. Please allow a solid 3 hours window for your appointment. We don’t want to rush through any procedure.

Yes, it does happen and yes it is true! ​

A third appointment is often set up so the client has the opportunity to return and I get the chance to review the work and sort out any (if any) tweaks that might need to be done. Often times the clients cancel this apt as all is usually well, however, there are the occasional few that may need one or two extra strokes to finish off the look. Some ladies’ skin may react to the trauma of the tattooing, and the skin may try to push out the foreign body of pigment by producing an extreme scab, so they eventually fall off taking all the pigment with it. There is a condition called Pigment Allergy (PPD Allergy, a condition known by dermatologists) or Auto-Immune disease symptoms (the client may not even be aware of it). The skin would have overreacted and become super sensitive to the pigment and reject it at any cost.

No. Every attempt is made to retain all-natural hair and integrate it into the design of the permanent eyebrows. In some cases, where the shaping of the natural brow is required, a few hairs here and there may need to be removed to create a clean and aesthetically pleasing result.

An eyebrow tattoo is a two-step treatment, consisting of an initial procedure and then a touch-up between 4 to 6 weeks after. ​

After taking your before photo, I will draw the brow design in pencil so you get an idea of shape and form. (Please note that nobody’s face is totally symmetrical and you need to be realistic with your expectations. There is no point in trying to make the eyebrows identical or match a photo of your favorite celebrities’ eyebrows if your face shape looks nothing like theirs). Once we have agreed on a final shape (ultimately it is your decision – but I will always voice my opinion on what I think suits you aesthetically), I will shape your eyebrows then we will decide on the color. Shortly after that, a topical anesthetic will be administered to ensure comfort. Once you’re numb, the pigment is deposited.​

During healing, it’s normal to experience some pigment loss; this is why we have the touch-up in place.

Healing time varies from individual to individual. Usually, it takes about a week to ten days for the epithelial crust to form and slough off. Your skin will be considered healed after that happens. Then, the pigment takes some time to settle into the skin. A good month should pass before I consider the process complete.

Most likely, yes. Within a week of your first treatment the color will fade significantly and over the next 4-6 weeks, it can continue to fade as much as 50%. This is considered an extremely positive occurrence as it allows you time to reflect on your shape and color. After this period your follow-up appointment is carried out. At this point, any changes you would like to make are discussed.

You won’t be swollen, you just might have slightly red skin around the service area, such as eyebrows or lips, but this would last no more than 1 hour.

It’s generally considered safe. It carries the same risks as other tattoos. We use sterilized tools, disposable needles and replace coverage supplies during the process. We keep a sterile environment.
