Permanent Makeup Eligibility
ALL CLIENTS MUST HAVE A CONSULTATION PRIOR TO HAVING ANY PERMANENT MAKEUP PROCEDURE.
To ensure you have the best results, we advise you to read this page thoroughly and reach out with any questions or concerns before booking your appointment. Failure to check and follow procedures will result in cancelling or rescheduling your appointment.
Permanent cosmetic procedures normally require multiple treatment sessions. For best results, clients will be required to return for at least one retouch procedure, usually between 6 and 12 weeks, after the initial procedure.
Be prepared for the color intensity to be significantly sharper and darker immediately after the procedure. This will subside and become lighter as the tissue heals. This process can take up to ten days.

No alcohol for at least 24-48 hours prior to the procedure
No caffeine on or the day of the procedure
No blood thinners including pain killers for at least 24 hours before procedure
No Aspirin, ibuprofen or aleve for at least 48 hours before procedure
No working out on the day of the procedure.
Topical aesthetics are used to numb the area to be tattooed. Lidocaine, Prilocaine, Benzocaine, Tetracaine, and Epinephrine in a cream and/or gel form are typically used. If you are allergic to any of these please inform me now.
