Is Cosmetic Tattoo permanent?

Cosmetic tattoo is a semi permanent makeup (SPMU) procedure designed to fade over time. The colour can remain anywhere from 12 months to 5 years. However, this is somewhat unpredictable and depends on many varying factors including client skin type and condition, client aftercare and tattooist skill. Sunscreen is always recommended.

Does it hurt?

We use a numbing cream that is applied for 15-20min before your procedure starts. This allows for minimal pain and clients often say the discomfort is about a 2 (if 10 is the most painful) and some say 0. Some clients describe it as pressure only. Occasionally clients fall asleep during the procedure. You can opt for no numbing.

Is numbing cream used?

We use a numbing cream both immediately before your procedure, and during your procedure. It is both for client comfort and to constrict the blood flow which leads to a better result. You can opt for no numbing cream. We ask that you purchase your numbing cream from a pharmacy and ensure that you are not allergic to the ingredients.

Is it normal to be nervous?

This is absolutely normal, sometimes it’s the unknown that makes us most nervous. Nervous about how it will turn out, is the procedure painful etc. You can call us anytime with any questions, no questions are a silly one. Before any tattooing is done, we will do some mapping and draw on the desired shape and style, this is often the time when you become most relaxed, and all the nerves go.

How long does it last?

There is no exact answer. There are far too many variables to be able to pinpoint an exact timeframe (ie skin type, client aftercare, tattooist skill, activities including sweat/exercise/swimming pigment colour chosen, quality of the brand of pigment line used) and exposure to sun. Aim to have a touch up every 1-5 years if you find the colour has faded.

Is there a limit on how often I will be able to have Cosmetic Tattoo treatments?

There may come a time where the skin is too heavily saturated to accept any more pigment, or the skin has scar tissue present which rejects pigment.
