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

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.
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.
