Cosmetic tattooing, also referred to as semi-permanent makeup or micropigmentation, is the process of implanting colour pigment beneath the surface of the skin by means of tiny, sterile, disposable needles to produce the appearance of hair strokes, makeup, or to enhance the natural features of the face.
The purpose of cosmetic tattooing is to enhance the natural features of a client. Cosmetic tattooing is softer and more subtle – it is meant to be a natural-looking enhancement. Body tattoos use ink while cosmetic tattoo procedures use pigments. These pigments are designed to gently fade over time. Fading is desired as it allows us to make changes to colour and shape over the years.
Not at all! A highly-effective, topical anesthetic cream and gel are used to numb you before and during your procedure to ensure you remain comfortable for the entirety of the procedure. Having this service performed during your menstrual cycle may increase discomfort during your procedure.
You must be 18 years or older to receive a tattoo service.
If you are breastfeeding, you can still undergo cosmetic tattooing as long as you are able to wait 3-5 hours between feeding sessions.
As a precaution, we do not perform cosmetic tattooing on pregnant women.
For most clients, a minimum of two treatments are usually needed, at least 8 weeks apart. With most procedures, the colour looks dramatically lighter after the first week. Some clients prefer this, while others opt for a bolder look. At the second session, we will assess the colour retention and make adjustments as necessary. Everyone heals differently and at different rates. If your cosmetic tattoo does not heal perfectly after the first session, do not worry! We can always go darker and add more density at your next appointment.
We have detailed aftercare instructions listed on our aftercare page. It is highly beneficial to follow these instructions to ensure a comfortable healing process and to achieve the best results.
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on having an immaculate and sterile studio space. We only use single use, disposable needles and supplies. This means that each set-up for each new client is discarded safely afterwards and a new one is set up for the next client. Each of our stations are thoroughly disinfected before opening and after each procedure throughout the day.
