COSMETIC TATTOOING, WHAT IS IT?
COSMETIC TATTOOING, WHAT IS IT?
Microblading and Powdered Ombre are both forms of cosmetic tattooing. Cosmetic tattoos are placed below the epidermis into the dermal layer of the skin. Anytime pigment is placed into the skin, it is considered a tattoo. Like your traditional tattoo, cosmetic tattooed makeup is not placed as deep into the skin. That is why it fades within 1-3 years.
Cosmetic tattooing is also called:
Eyebrows are tattooed by implanting hair-like strokes of pigment into the skin with either a manual hand held tool or placing a powdery like finish with an actual tattoo powered machine.
CAN I HAVE AN OLD TATTOO COVERED UP?
You MUST email clear photos of any previously tattooed makeup prior to your appointment. I must see and approve the previous tattoo before any work is performed. This may not be possible if the existing tattoo is too dark, bold, thick, or dense. There may be limitations to realistic expectations.
WHAT ARE THE TYPICAL HEALING STAGES?
Each person’s skin may respond or heal differently. This timeline acts as a guideline only.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM MICROBLADING OR OMBRE POWDER BROWS?
HOW LONG DOES THE TATTOOING TAKE?
It takes approximately 2.5-4 hours for the first procedure. This will include the consultation before the procedure. At that time we decide the shape, shade and technique as everyone is unique with their own style.
HOW LONG WILL MY MICROBLADING OR OMBRE POWDER TATTOO LAST?
Cosmetic tattoos will fade over time. Regular touch-ups are highly recommended every 1-2 years. Everyone is different as each person’s immune system, lifestyle, skin type, and care of the tattoo are unique. Each cosmetic tattoo session and the first touch-up session (2 visits in total) are included in the price. Additional sessions maybe required.
WILL COSMETIC TATTOOING WORK WELL ON ME?
Every individual is different. Whether you have oily skin, dry skin or combination skin, if you are on medications, have a health condition, use retinols, a sun worshipper, breast feeding or are a heavy smoker. This can all attribute to how long your tattoo may last. We do a full consultation the day of the procedure to determine what your goals are and what may cause fading faster.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT THE DAY OF THE PROCEDURE?
Upon entering the studio clients will be required to fill out a Covid-19 waiver and have your temperature taken. A waiver will also be completed with your health history to the best of your knowledge. As sometimes certain health conditions or medications can make you less of a candidate to have the procedure.
First, we will go over absolutely everything during your consultation before your procedure. We decide the shade, shape and technique together at this time. You are welcome to ask all of your questions during the consultation. Once you are happy with the design, we will continue with the procedure!
You will be given a care package and thorough instructions to follow after the procedure. At this time we will schedule your touch-up session for 6-8 weeks later.
What is Botox?
First of all, Botox is just the brand name of a certain neuromodulator, called Botulinum Toxin Type A, but Botox refers to an injectable cosmetic treatment used to effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Botox can only be used by a licensed medical professional. There are also other well-known brand names for the same type of product, such as Dysport.

What’s the difference between Botox and fillers?
People easily get these two types of injectables confused all the time, but here’s an easy way to distinguish between the two: Botox is for limiting muscle movement, fillers are for building volume.
Botox reduces the activity of muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. Facial fillers, however, fill the trouble areas with a gel made up of hyaluronic acid, which helps to plump and lift the skin to replace volume loss.
How does it work to prevent wrinkles?
Explained simply, when injected directly into the muscle, Botox blocks the muscle’s nerve signals and temporarily relaxes it. When the muscle is relaxed, dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement soften, dissipate, or disappear completely.
Common side effects of any injectable include:
In general, Botox injections are meant to last 3-4 months. To keep results going, you could need a follow-up treatment. After that, you should be able to expect your treatments to begin lasting longer.
