Step By Step Guide To Cosmetic Tattooing Enhance Your Natural Beauty with Permanent Makeup

Are you curious about the world of cosmetic tattooing but unsure of how it all works? Look no further! In this article, we will take you on a step-by-step journey, from pencils to pigments, to unravel the secrets of this fascinating cosmetic treatment. Cosmetic tattooing, also known as permanent makeup or micropigmentation, is a technique that involves the implantation of pigments into the skin to enhance features such as eyebrows, lips, and eyelids. It offers a long-lasting solution for those who want to wake up with perfectly shaped eyebrows or defined lips, without the need for daily makeup application.

We’ll walk you through the entire process step-by-step – from the initial consultation and design, to the actual tattooing procedure, and finally, the healing and aftercare.

FAQ

Will I end up with thick, black brows?

No! Brows are designed around your natural brow shape. They can be as thin or thick as you prefer. We’ll work with your preferences within reason. For example we won’t use black pigments on brows or design brows into an unattractive shape.

Does it hurt?

No. We use 10% anaesthetic gel which is extremely effective, most clients fall asleep during treatment and comment on how relaxing the entire process is.

Is it permanent?

No. Its considered semi-permanent. The pigments fade out over time, fortunately they don’t turn green, blue or red like older pigments used in the past. They just lighten and require a colour boost every 1-2yrs to maintain intensity.

Is it safe & hygienic?

Absolutely! At Irresistible Me strict hygiene protocols are adhered to, only single use (disposable) needles and consumables are used.

Can I choose the colour?

Yes, you can have input into the colours we use. If doing Lip Blush bring your favourite lipstick or gloss along so we can match the colour.

Do I need to take time off work?

Not all all. You’ll be able to return to work immediately.

Will I be swollen, red or sore afterwards?

Brows don’t swell or go red. Lips & eyeliner may swell a little but cool packs will bring it down pretty quickly.

Will I look like a clown for a week while they heal?

No. You’ll look like you have applied makeup. There’ll be some light peeling or flaking between day 3-7 however it should be minimal.

From start to finish, her professionalism, care, and attention to detail were simply unmatched. Cosmetic tattooing requires absolute trust, and Tracey goes above and beyond to make you feel completely comfortable.

She is a genuinely lovely human being who takes immense pride in her craft and cares deeply about her clients and the results she delivers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and I will 100% be back to see her again. Thank you, Tracey!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my eyeliner tattoo done by Tracey at Irresistible Me and I couldn't be happier! She was so professional from the start, answered every question I had, and her clinic was spotless and hygienic, which put me right at ease. Tracey was really thorough throughout the application, checking in with me along the way to make sure I was happy with how it was looking. The result is exactly what I asked for, my eyes look bigger and more uplifted, way less tired, and the shape suits my eyes and face perfectly. So glad I chose her, highly recommend! 💕
