+ How long does a cosmetic tattoo last?

This all depends on the individual, factors such as age, metabolism, rate of regeneration of your skin and lifestyle will all affect how long your cosmetic tattoo will last. High-quality semi-permanent makeup can last as long as one to five years. If the tattoo specialist is experienced, your pigment will be applied at the right skin depth and can last a full year before it needs a refresh.

+ I just had a cosmetic tattoo and my scab has fallen off to reveal no colour! What do I do?

This is completely normal and you don’t need to do anything. During the reconstruction period post-tattoo, you’ll notice some flaking and perhaps scabbing of the area where the cosmetic tattoo was applied. Once healed and flaked away, give your treated area about a week to recover. After a week you’ll notice the pigment manifest itself slowly over approximately three weeks.

+ Why do you take advanced payment only?

As cosmetic tattooing is a beauty treatment which takes us time to prepare for and requires a length of time to set aside to perform, we require prepayment to secure you’re booking and ensure no last-minute cancellations. If you do need to cancel or move your appointment, please contact us as soon as possible.

+ Can I get a cosmetic tattoo whilst I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

We do not recommend pregnant or breastfeeding women to have cosmetic tattooing due any risk of stress, infection if the area is not treated correctly post-tattoo, and any numbing creams or anaesthetic which may enter the blood stream through the skin. Please set aside time before you are pregnant or after your birth to come and see us.

+ I had my eyebrows tattooed last week but now they are a different colour and shape. What do I do?

Although we do our best to ensure a perfect look, minor asymmetry and difference in colour is completely normal. Different parts of your skin will pigment and behave differently and this is unfortunately not in anybody’s control. However, please book in for a touch-up of the area to restore any asymmetry or unexpected change in pigment colour after allowing a few weeks for your skin to settle.

+ I read that the tattoo lasts five years, and you say it lasts one year. Why is that?

Our cosmetic tattoo specialists strive for a natural look every time. Depending on your skin and external factors, your tattoo can fade anywhere in between one to five years.

+ When can I wet the tattooed area?

You should only wet the tattooed area after it is fully healed and any scab or flaking comes away. You will see pigment underneath once it falls away.

+ Will the tattoo stay if I wet the area?

You should keep your tattoo treated area clean and dry and avoid wetting it. Wetting it could mean a patchy result without colour in some areas.

+ Is the scab or flaking visible after application of the cosmetic tattoo?

Tattoos on the eyelids and eyebrows, on the average, heal for about a week. The crust on the lips start to flake and crack on the second to the third day, and on the fourth and fifth – fully come off. Scabbing and flaking is minor, and there is no cause for concern. You should be able to perform your daily activities as usual.

+ Can I have a cosmetic tattoo whilst I am menstruating? Will this affect my healing or end result?

No, this does not affect the colour or healing. All things being equal, a tattoo will not affect your period, and being on your period will not affect your tattoo. There are two things to consider, how your period affects you and whether or not you take medication during your period.

+ What will happen to the cosmetic tattoo if it is not updated?

Cosmetic tattoos disappear completely after one to five years. 99.9% of our customers return to us after their cosmetic tattoo fades to have it updated and swear they cannot live without it!

+ Are cosmetic tattoos as painful as the usual type of tattoo?

Between cosmetic and ‘normal’ tattoos, there is no difference. It all depends on your own pain threshold; however, we do offer pain management. Some of our clients have fallen asleep during the procedure as we use numbing cream that will protect you from pain in the studio.

+ Is there a guarantee or warranty for cosmetic tattooing at your salon?

Our master tattooist in detail tells our customers how to take care of their cosmetic tattoo to get maximum effect out of it. The end result depends not only on the professional work performed, but also on how well you have followed the instructions of the specialist care.

+ Can I adjust the shape of my eyebrows before my cosmetic tattoo treatment?

We do not recommend that you make any manipulation of the eyebrows before your treatment.

+ I accidentally wet my eyebrows on day 3, it this critical?

There is a risk that the pigment has not entrenched correctly if you have wet you eyebrows. It’s best to wait until fully healed and come in to see us for a touch-up.

+ What kind of eye suits eyelash enhancement?

Lash enhancement suits all types of eye shapes. We will customise the cosmetic tattoo to enhance your individual features.

+ I want my eyebrows in 3D, can do this?

“3D Eyebrows” is a term used only for marketing purposes. We are committed to a natural looking eyebrow, not a 3D look.

+ I don't like the old form of my cosmetic tattoo. You can change it?

Sign up for a free consultation with our master tattooist. You will receive recommendations on whether it is possible to correct the form. The small deficiencies can be corrected, and the serious defects can be corrected only by laser or natural tattoo removal.

+ Can I use ointments or creams which can improve the regeneration process?

We do not recommend the use of any skin regeneration creams. The substances that accelerate the regeneration of skin cells will not allow pigment to remain under the skin in necessary quantities.

+ How long after my cosmetic tattoo application can go to work?

You can go to work immediately following a visit to us. Tattoos do not make serious adjustments to your lifestyle. The only important rule is to strictly follow the advice of your specialist about care of the treated area. If your job involves swimming or is highly active, it may be advised that you do not participate.

+ How long does the procedure take?

Usually no more than two-three hours. On average 2 hours per treatment.

+ How does tanning in the sun or solarium affect my cosmetic tattoo?

If you go out in the sun ensure to wear a high SPF factor 50+ sunscreen to protect your tattoo. Sun and UV exposure can fade your cosmetic tattoo.

+ How does the colour of the cosmetic tattoo change over time?

After about a year tattoos wear and lose saturation of colour. Gradually colour becomes lighter. But don’t worry, correction once a year will help to keep the desired shade.

+ What is a hair stroke technique?

There are two versions of hair stroke technology – microblading and a medical tattoo machine. We do not recommend microblading for European skin type. We use a hardware method as this is gentle, less traumatic and never leaves scars.

+ Which hair stroke technique will be best for me?

Our cosmetic tattooing specialists will pick a technique that is suitable for your skin and last the longest. Some techniques may not be suitable for young and oily skin, whilst others will be complimentary.

+ When do I need to come back after the first procedure for a touch up?

After at least 3.5 weeks. It all depends on your skin and the body, so the dates may vary.

+ Is it possible to have more than one cosmetic tattoo in one day?

Absolutely, this can save you time.

+ Who is cosmetic tattooing suitable for?

Cosmetic tattooing is suitable for any woman or man who wants to feel good about themselves and enhance their natural beauty, waking up without the hassle of makeup.

+ Can I play sport or swim immediately following my procedure?

We recommend that you avoid sport on the day of the procedure, and avoid swimming (fresh or salt water), saunas and steam rooms until the skin has fully healed as this could cause infection and the tattoo to fade.

+ Will the cosmetic tattoo look false or unnatural?

Absolutely not! Our signature brows, eyeliner and lips are always natural and appealing. We maintain that a person looks best with a ‘fresh faced’ look rather than a heavy unnatural look.
