Frequently Asked Questions
BROWS
What is permanent makeup for brows?
Permanent makeup for brows is a cosmetic technique that uses tattoo-like methods to enhance, shape, and define your eyebrows. It's a semi-permanent solution that can last for several years with proper care.
How long does the brow procedure take?
The initial brow procedure typically takes about 2-3 hours. This includes consultation, numbing, and the actual tattooing process.
Is the brow procedure painful?
We use topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching feeling. Everyone's pain tolerance is different, but it's generally very manageable.
How long do permanent makeup brows last?
With proper care, permanent makeup brows can last 1-3 years. However, a touch-up may be needed after 12-18 months to maintain the color and shape.
LIP BLUSH
What is lip blush?
Lip blush is a semi-permanent makeup technique that enhances the natural color and shape of your lips. It provides a subtle, long-lasting tint that looks like you're wearing a sheer lipstick or lip stain.
How long does the lip blush procedure take?
The lip blush procedure usually takes about 2-2.5 hours, including numbing time.
Is lip blush suitable for all skin types?

Lash Line Enhancement
What is lash line enhancement?
Lash line enhancement is a permanent makeup technique that involves applying pigment along the lash line to create the appearance of fuller, thicker lashes.
Will lash line enhancement damage my natural lashes?
No, when done correctly, lash line enhancement doesn't affect your natural lashes. The pigment is applied to the skin between the lashes, not on the lashes themselves.
How long does lash line enhancement last?
Lash line enhancement typically lasts 1-3 years, depending on your skin type and how well you care for it.
Fine Line Tattoos
What are Fine Line tattoos?
Fine Line tattoos are delicate, intricate tattoos created using very thin needles. They're known for their subtle, detailed designs and are perfect for small, meaningful tattoos.
How small can a Fine Line tattoo be?
Fine Line tattoos can be incredibly small, even as tiny as a dime. However, keep in mind that extremely small tattoos may fade or blur more quickly over time.
Do Fine Line tattoos hurt more than regular tattoos?
Generally, Fine Line tattoos are less painful than traditional tattoos because they use thinner needles. However, pain tolerance varies from person to person.
Where do you start and what’s the process?
I want to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the policies regarding deposits and design variations for custom pieces.
When you make a $100 deposit, it covers two variations of your tattoo design. This allows us to work together to refine your idea and create something you love.
If, after these two variations, you find that you are still unsatisfied with the design, we can discuss 1 drawing adjustment. Following this, a new deposit of $100 will be required to cover any additional drawing time required for further revisions.
As a reminder, when it comes to tattoo design, clarity is key. Often, less is more, especially when considering the longevity and detail of your tattoo. Clear and simple ideas tend to age better over time.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to creating an amazing piece of art with you
