With Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo being well underway for quite a few years, we advise over cosmetic tattoo and its after-care.

Micro-blading, micro-feathering, feathering and semi-permanent makeup, call it what you will is still implanting cosmetic tattoo pigments superficially (between the dermal and epidermal layer) into the skin. These are implemented with a small device into which a needle assembly is inserted, or a small machine depending on the procedure required.

Any makeup or lotions apart from those suggested at the time of your session should be left until after the areas have healed. This would usually be 7 to 10 days. When after-care cream is suggested use sparingly at night and morning, and during the day for comfort.

Your skin will be settled and well ready to receive your 2nd procedure, 3 to 8 weeks after the first.

Please do not try to hurry the peeling process. Sometimes people cannot help but pick or rub the area. I understand, however it is worth waiting for your cosmetic tattoo to gently exfoliate on its own.  At the sign of any infection, contact your pharmacist or cosmetic tattooist.

If your semi-permanent makeup is itchy, a sign it is healing nicely, a little after-care cream will sooth. Be aware that workouts, swimming, sauna, tanning beds or sun, does not help your skin retain new tattoo makeup. I often suggest an SPF balm, for ongoing protection of new brows.

Most salons will advise you to wait for their skin treatments, knowing you have had, or are preparing to see a cosmetic tattooist.

Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo uses iron oxide free pigments and all latest pigments to suit your skin.

It’s amazing watching and being aware how the seasons have been changing over the past many weeks . There has been an obvious drop in movement and activities, a certain gentleness here at Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo. All in all, you have been able to relax and gulp up the gorgeous atmosphere here. Waiting with the gentle sun on your back then almost falling asleep in my clinic room.

I’m excited about a super new line of cosmetic tattoo pigments for eyes, lips and brows, and as always you will have plenty of time with me. As always too, you will have an up to the moment hygienic environment to relax in.

We especially like to create natural look feathered brows and/or powdered brows, exactly how you want them. Soft and pretty lip tattoo and specially designed lash enhancement or eyeliner.

Have a happy August, it’s such a good month!

Cheers,

Janey

Have you ever wondered what people think of women putting on makeup in public?   Apparently two thirds of British women apply their usual makeup ritual as they commute to work.  This may be a subject of fascination to males who are sitting beside them but the people I have talked with believe it falls short of good etiquette!   In fact it really irks some men,  partners for example.

None of this may matter to you ladies but I can say that it is less trouble, and less embarrassing if you don’t have to reapply your makeup in public, especially whilst dining!  It’s also a whole lot more fun when your makeup stays on your face in these situations and more (smile).

This is why there’s been a mighty upsurge of popularity with cosmetic tattoo, or micro pigmentation as it is uncommonly called.   Tattoo makeup does fade though, having so much exposure so you need to look after it.   I always tell my clients this, and nowadays cosmetic tattoo pigments are more soft and subtle than ever.   Lighter colours fade fastest, but no one minds a re-vamp every year or eighteen months or so to have those tattooed hair-strokes look special.

One can have the most minimal semi-permanent makeup applied and jazz it up for nights out.   Personally, I love weekends away where I just wisp on mascara and blush. It takes less than a minute!

Call for a chat about minimal makeup tattoo or much more.

Cheers and happy March.
