FAQs

First things first! Let’s clear up some of the most common things people ask me about:

Answer: In general, you’ll want to avoid harsh treatments for at least 4 weeks prior to your appointment, and avoid direct sun exposure, active ingredient skincare, and Botox for at least 2 weeks prior. You’ll also want to avoid any medications or supplements that thin the blood for about a week before your appointment, and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and working out for a day or two before.

Answer: No, cosmetic tattoos are not meant to be a total substitute for cosmetics, but are meant to supplement them and/or to enhance your natural features.

Answer: Combo brows are created using a combination of two forms of semi-permanent techniques: microblading and powder brows. Microbladed hair-strokes are placed with a manual tool in the front, and sometimes around the border of the brow, and the powder effect is applied to the body of the brow using a machine to give the brow more depth, fullness and coverage. This technique is great for those who have sparse eyebrows, little to no hair, or those who want to add definition to their eyebrows.

Answer: We can work together to decide on the best method to give you the level of natural or boldness you desire! I offer three different methods of brow tattooing which all have different looks, and freckles can be more bold or sheer depending on your preference, skin type, adherence to aftercare and a number of other factors. While most clients want round-shaped freckles that look realistic, I also offer star, heart and sparkle shape freckles. As for lip blushing, the result is a color that looks as if it could be your own but with a little boost and a more defined shape. Pigment color is customized for each individual based on your skin tone and personal preference. And with lash enhancement, which involves tattooing a thin black or dark brown line within the lash line - think of it as a light permanent eyeliner but with a subtle natural finish.
