Cosmetic Tattooing | Traditional Tattoos

Possible risks, hazards, and complications:

 

• Pain : You may experience discomfort and/or pain during this procedure.
• Infection : Infection is very unusual. The risk of infection and the Possibility of allergic reaction to the pigments/inks or other materials used. The areas treated must be kept clean, and only freshly cleaned hands should touch the areas. See “After Care” sheet for instruction on care for eyebrows.
• Uneven Pigmentation : This can result from poor healing, inflection, bleeding, or many other causes. (For brows: Your follow-up appointment will likely correct any uneven appearance.)
• Asymmetry (brows) : Every effort will be made to avoid asymmetry, but our faces are not symmetrical so adjustments may be needed during the follow-up session to correctany unevenness.
• Excessive Swelling or Bruising : Some people bruise or swell more than others. Ice packs may help reduce the swelling. The swelling or bruising typically disappears in 1-5 days. Some people don't bruise or swell at all.
• MRI : Because pigments used in Permanent Cosmetic procedures contain inertoxides, a low level magnet may be required if you need to be scanned by an MRI machine. You must inform your MRI Technician of any tattoos or permanent cosmetics.
   

*The alternative to these possibilities is to use traditional cosmetic and NOT undergo the Cosmetic Tattooing procedure*

Emotional Healing | "The Shock Factor"

For Permanent Makeup only

 

Healing – It’s a Whole Process!

While the physical healing of your brows is important, the emotional side of the journey is just as real — and totally normal.

Some clients feel confident and calm through the process, while others may look in the mirror and wonder, “What did I do to my brows?!” Trust me, both reactions are completely valid.

Remember: Change takes time to get used to. Your brain has been seeing the same face for years, so it’s natural for any sudden transformation to feel a bit shocking at first. Give it 7–10 days — your eyes and mind will adjust.

In the days following your appointment, your brows may appear darker and fuller. Then, as they begin to flake, they might look lighter or even patchy. This is all part of the healing process. Please resist the urge to judge them too early!

Keep in mind, your brows won’t be at their best until they’re fully healed — and even before your touch-up, there may be areas that need a little extra love. That’s completely normal.

If you follow your aftercare instructions closely, you’ll be setting yourself up for beautiful results. I do about 30% of the work — the rest is in the healing, and that’s where you come in!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns along the way, I’m just a message away.
