How long does cosmetic tattoo
last? |
|
The
pigment can last for up to 5 years. Lighter colours will fade faster
than the darker colours. The good news is that you are never stuck with
a colour. It can be modified or changed.

What is cosmetic tattoo? |
|
Non-allergenic
pigments are blended for your specific colour preference and are implanted
into the dermis layer of the skin.

|
What tool do you use? |
|
I use a rotary
machine. It is and electric pen like machine especially designed for
cosmetic tattoo. It evenly distributes and implants the colour into the
dermal layer of the skin. These soft, natural looking colours bring the best
out of your features and result in a natural appearance, instead of the
harsh traditional tattoo colours.

|
Does cosmetic tattooing hurt? |
|
A topical
anaesthetic is applied, so very little discomfort is experienced. Most of my
clients say that it is irritating but not painful.

|
Where do the colors come from? |
|
The
pigments come from the United States, and have been made with FDA
approved ingredients. The pigments are made of iron oxides, that are
dispursed in alcohol and glycerin which are organic substances. All my
pigments are of the highest quality and have been approved for Cosmetic
Make up and Paramedical procedures.
Allergies
from these gamma sterilized pigments are rare.

Depends on the

usually only 15 minutes, most of the time is consultation lip blend
(includes lipline) takes about 2 hours.

What is involved in
the healing and post care? |
|
Swelling may
last from 2 to 72 hours, this is very individual. Aftercare will be covered
before your procedure, and an aftercare sheet is provided for you to take
home.
Cosmetic Tattoo colour will appear extremely intense and thick immediately
after the procedure, this will fade in 5 to 10 days. Colours will continue
to soften over the next couple of months.

|
Do I need to take time off work? |
|
Most people do
not need to take time off. Cold packs can be applied straight after the
treatment, to help reduce any swelling.

|
Will I need more than one
appointment? |
|
Lips and
eyebrows usually need a second treatment within 8 weeks Eyeliner does not
always need a second treatment, depending on the absorption of the pigments.

|
Do I need a consultation? |
|
Consultations
are essential. Sometimes clients combine the consultation and procedure into
a single visit. They may be travelling from out of town, or have limited
time off work. Most have a consultation then make a booking at a later date,
to help with your expectations

|
Do I come in with or without
make up? |
|
Preferably
without make up. You can draw on your own lipline or eyebrows before you
come in so I can see what shape you like, or I can draw them on for you.
You can also bring your favorite lipsticks, lipliners, eyeliners and brow
pencils, so we can decide on the colour.

|
Do I shave my eyebrows? |
|
Most certainly
not. Although we can change the shape of the brows, we try to keep the
eyebrows as natural looking as possible.

|
Am I too old to have cosmetic
tattoo? |
|
Cosmetic
Tattoo is suitable for all ages. Especially the elderly find it hard to
apply make up, but still want to look good. My clients range from 18 to 94.

|
Do I have a choice of colour? |
|
I have arrange
of colours that can easily be blended to the desired shade.

What is the difference between eyebrow-shading and eyebrow-hairstrokes? |
|
Eyebrow-
shading is a technique where you are left with a brow pencil effect.
Eyebrow –hairstokes is a technique that fills in the gaps in the eyebrow.
The results resemble natural brow hairs. This is a very popular treatment
for those that don’t want solid shading.

|
What is the difference between eyeliner and lash-enhancement?
Eyeliner is a solid line which can be any thickness. |
|
With the lash
enhancement, pigment is inserted in tiny little dots between the lashes,
thus giving the eyes definition, without creating a line. Ideal for those
that like a none make up look, but still require definition. Some clients
prefer a full line on the upper lid but just want enhancement of the lower
lid to create a look of fuller lashes
