Janey will make you comfortable and relaxed before taking you through questions regarding your health, and listen to your wishes regarding the new look you will create together.
Everyone is different, however Janey’s long experience in releasing anxiety and apprehension coupled with excellent up to the minute topical anesthetics, will make any discomfort minimal.
Some people have a low pain threshold and others insist they feel nothing more than a slight tingling or prickling sensation throughout the procedure. Any discomfort is short-lived when the long term, ‘wash & go’ results are so apparent!
Please be assured that your health and safety is of utmost importance. We dispose of our needles in front of our clients and our quality equipment, products and hygiene are our No.1 priority.
There is usually some swelling and/or redness, but little discomfort directly after the session. Ice packs may be used for short periods and a detailed after-care sheet is given.
Initially your cosmetic tattoo will look 30% to 50% darker or brighter than required. This is because the pigment is initially on the skin, as well as approximately 1mm below the surface. On the 2nd or 3rd day, the area will feel a little dry and flaky. Within 5 – 10 days the true colour has revealed itself. This result is lovely and natural.
We recommend a refresh of your permanent makeup every 18mths – 2yrs or when you feel it is necessary. This at a reduced cost providing the initial work was done with us.
You may show off your cosmetic tattoo immediately! The procedure won’t stop you from having fun or going about your daily routines. We ask you to take care of the newly tattooed areas however, avoiding sun (wear sunglasses and sun block), chlorine, sea water and saunas.
As with cosmetic tattoo eyeliner and cosmetic eyebrow tattoo, a second meeting within 4 – 6 weeks is scheduled to discuss the healed outcome of the initial procedure.
This is also a perfect time to attend to fine details, design, and colour depth to your permanent makeup – or to agree that no further work is required.
Each appointment takes approximately 2hrs and the cosmetic lip tattoo procedure is usually a two step process. We want you to thoroughly enjoy your permanent makeup for years to come.
