Caviat Emptor
The year is well under way and I’m happy at Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo to see you come back year after year for makeup tattoo refreshers. This shows you are pleased with shape and colour, and you may keep your cosmetic tattoo pristine and colour natural at little cost.
Subtle changes to your semi-permanent makeup may be suggested as facial features alter. It sometimes needs a professional to track what is most flattering for you as the face generally ages or after cosmetic surgery or any facial procedures. You look at your own face every day and can get fairly blasé!
What is concerning is when ladies from elsewhere come in for tattoo makeup corrections. I don’t know what is worse, colour that ages badly or poorly shaped brows. usually it is both. Ladies if you are anywhere in the world at all, do check your operator’s work during procedure. This is vital if you are not familiar with his/her expertise, and it’s a perfectly reasonable request. You must be delighted from beginning to end and you must say something if you are not sure. Do not assume that advertising or marketing means care and experience or wait till well after your procedure. Your cosmetic tattoo artist must also thoroughly understand facial structure and design and not be rushed.
Professionals must be extraordinarily careful to have left and right brows symmetrical, left and right tattoo eye makeup correct, especially when wings, flicks or subtle extensions are wanted. Natural lip lines again are misshaped and need great care.
Your cosmetic tattoo artist would also be able to advise on future colour tone as your micropigmentation ages in case you need refreshers overseas.
I’m happy to alleviate fears and nervousness, and chat by phone on what matters most to you regarding your potential tattoo makeup.
Cheers,
Janey
