Permanent makeup is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that eliminates the need for daily makeup application. Designed to appear natural and undetectable, permanent makeup includes:
- Microblading and powder eyebrows, crafting perfectly shaped eyebrows that complement your unique features and last up to 2 years.
- Eyeliner tattoo, providing beautifully defined eyes without the hassle of applying eyeliner every day, with results lasting up to 5 years.
- Lip tattoo, adding color and definition to your lips for a radiant and youthful appearance.
Permanent makeup is beneficial for a wide range of individuals, including:
1. Busy professionals who want to save time on their daily makeup routine.
2. Those with allergies or sensitivities to traditional makeup products.
3. People with physical limitations or dexterity issues that make makeup application challenging.
4. Individuals with sparse or uneven eyebrows who desire a more defined and symmetrical look.
5. Those who want to enhance their features without the worry of makeup smudging or fading throughout the day.
6. Cancer survivors or those undergoing medical treatments that have caused hair loss.
7. Anyone seeking to simplify their beauty routine and maintain a polished appearance with minimal effort.
The duration of permanent makeup varies depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the specific technique used. However, on average:
- Eyebrow microblading or powder brows can last up to 1-2 years.
- Eyeliner tattooing typically lasts around 3-5 years.
- Lip tattooing may last 2-3 years.
Regular touch-up sessions are recommended to maintain the desired appearance and prolong the longevity of the permanent makeup.
When performed by a skilled and experienced professional, permanent makeup can appear very natural. The color, shape, and placement of the pigments are carefully chosen to complement your facial features and skin tone. Additionally, modern techniques such as microblading and feathering create fine, hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrows, while eyeliner and lip tattooing can be applied in a way that enhances your features without looking overly harsh or artificial. Ultimately, the goal of permanent makeup is to enhance your natural beauty and provide a subtle, polished look.
Yes, you can still wear your own makeup over permanent makeup. However, it's important to keep in mind that the purpose of permanent makeup is to simplify your beauty routine and enhance your natural features. Many people find that they need less traditional makeup after getting permanent makeup, as it provides a base level of color and definition. If you choose to wear additional makeup, please wait a minimum of ten days after the procedure.
Yes, permanent makeup is indeed a form of tattooing, known as cosmetic tattooing, but it is typically applied more delicately compared to traditional body tattoos. The pigments used for permanent makeup are also specially formulated to be more subtle and suitable for the face. Permanent makeup differs from regular tattoos in several ways. Unlike traditional tattoos, PMU is semi-permanent, meaning that the color sits on the surface of the skin and gradually fades over time as the skin sheds. In contrast, regular tattoos are designed to sit deeper in the skin and are typically intended to last a lifetime. This distinction is important to consider when choosing between permanent makeup and traditional tattoos, as it affects the longevity and maintenance requirements of each.
We choose the appropriate color that will heal correctly with your skin. The color you see above the skin is not the same as the color that appears below the skin. This is due to skin undertones explained in our color theory section of permanent makeup.
For example, a warm color applied to warm-toned skin may result in reddish-looking brows, and a cool color applied to cool-toned skin may lead to bluish or grayish brows. We choose a color opposite your skin's undertone to counter unwanted hues.
Appointments are scheduled for two hours and do not impair you in any way. Touchup appointments are scheduled 4 weeks after the initial appointment for 45 minutes. Additional touchups and yearly color boosts are scheduled as needed.
Expect the color to appear darker and possibly have mild swelling. Follow all aftercare instructions for long lasting results.
No. Existing hair is to be preserved and remain in place. You may wax or tweeze the areas with unwanted hair to maintain its shape and will need to continue to do so even after your permanent makeup.
Permanent makeup does not damage existing hair. It can stimulate hair growth by stimulating blood flow to the area. However, most people's hair follicles are likely dead by the time they decide to get permanent makeup so new hair growth is unlikely.
Yes. You may tint your brows as usual before your permanent makeup appointment, and wait at least two weeks after.
Pigment is lost as the color settles into the skin with the skin shedding cycle. Touchups are essential to preserve color and ensure optimal results.
To achieve the desired color on dark lips, a contrasting color is first applied to lighten the natural lip color. Once the lips have lightened sufficiently, the desired color is applied to achieve the desired result successfully. This requires more appointments and is a multiple step process.
We provide topical numbing to minimize discomfort. Feel free to bring your headphones to listen to music or a podcast during the session.
To maintain the true black color without any blue undertones, the pigment is pre-modified with orange to counteract cool undertones. Our skin acts as a filter, altering the appearance of colors once they're beneath the surface. Similarly, while our blood is red, it appears blue or green when viewed through the skin. Pre-modifying the color ensures that it remains true to its intended shade once fully healed and combined with the skin's undertone.
Our work is renowned for its exceptional quality and customer satisfaction, achieved through extensive knowledge and training. We are committed to ensuring your satisfaction and providing you with the best possible experience.

A full list of contraindications can be found on the intake form page.
Yes, tattoo ink is generally considered safe when using inks that are manufactured by reputable companies and comply with safety regulations.
While small amounts of ink components can be detected in the bloodstream after tattooing, there is generally no evidence to suggest that it causes significant harm to overall health.
Yes. Saline removal is a safe and effective method to lift unwanted pigment from the skin through osmosis. This process involves implanting saline, a solution of salt, into the skin which dilutes and extracts the color, bringing it to the surface until it is removed.

It is preferred not to have any tattoos or permanent makeup while pregnant. However, a doctor's clearance will be accepted.
Generally, we do not accept clients with previous permanent makeup unless it's light enough to work over effectively. Otherwise, saline removal is a possible option.
