Cosmetic Brow Tattoo FAQ

It is slightly uncomfortable but completely bearable. Some clients even fall asleep during the procedure. I use a topical numbing cream to make each client as comfortable as possible. If you have low intolerance to pain you may take 1-2 Panadol 30 minutes before your appointment. DO NOT take Aspirin or Ibuprofen as these can cause excessive bleeding and also make you more sensitive to pain during the procedure.

Your eyebrows tattoo will last from 18 to 24 months. I recommend an annual top-up to keep your permanent makeup fresh.

The following factors will cause your semi-permanent tattoo to fade faster:

• Oily skin

• Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic acid, retinol

• Vitamin E and C

• Exfoliates

• Iron deficiency

• Exposure to saltwater

• Sun exposure

Permanent makeup is always a two-appointment process. Both appointments are included in the price and the second appointment is booked within 6-8 weeks after your first session. The touch-up appointment is important as there will always be some fade. I can alter the shape of your tattoo or saturate the colour if it is necessary, also fixing any patches and gaps that haven’t retained pigment well during the healing process.

From minimal to not at all. I recommend you not book an appointment right before a holiday. Do not play sports straight after having a lip or eyebrow procedure and avoid sweating, saunas and swimming pools for at least 7 days. Also, avoid make-up; you can apply make-up around the lips and eyebrows but not over them. The procedure you have had will initially look brighter than when it has healed, but it should not stop you from being able to go out. After a lip tattoo, you may experience some lip swelling but that should pass in a few hours, although this may last a little longer for some people.

The short answer is no. There are certain contraindications that can prevent us from performing the treatment. The following are the contraindications of Permanent Makeup:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding. 

• Taking anticoagulants, such as aspirin or similar medications

• Autoimmune disease. Please consult your doctor.

• Haemophilia

• Psoriasis

• Viral diseases, e.g. jaundice, hepatitis, HIV and AIDS.

• Taking steroids such as cortisone, Accutane, and Retinol.

Permanent Makeup consists of two sessions. The touch-up appointment is free of charge and it takes place within 6-8 weeks. The procedure is not painful as a medical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to make you as comfortable as possible.

A discussion is important about your expectations and what is possible to achieve. Also, you need to be 100% happy with the shape and the colour choice before I proceed with the treatment.
