FAQ's

Q: Can I book a consultation session?

I can offer a free consultation over the phone, by message on social media or by email, if I think that you need a face to face consultation then this will be arranged.
The appointment is only booked once you have received confirmation.

Q: Will you top up someone else's work?

A: Our top up service is only for our existing clients. If you have had the enhancement done elsewhere (brows, eyes or lips), I will consider you as a new client and normal pricing applies. Please note that I cannot work on any old tattoo and that a correction charge may be applied. Please send photos of the old work first.

Q: Should I send in a photo of myself before booking an appointment?

A: We would encourage this if you have already undertaken permanent beauty treatment or lip enhancement as not all work can be covered up or adjusted.

Q: What is a patch test?

A: A patch test is a 2 minute allergy test offered to all new clients where you will be scratched slightly behind the ear by a tattoo needle and some ink pigments will be applied to the scratch. If you are aware that you may be at risk of having a reaction to tattoo ink, do phone and book in for a quick patch test.
Please contact me to book a test.

Q: Will you draw in the shapes first?

A: Yes, the tattoo design will be discussed with you first. The brow design will be drawn based on the classic measurements and the golden ratio. The lip and eye designs are sketched accordingly to your preference and I will discuss with you any readjustment or alteration in terms of shape and size. I won't start on you until you are completely happy with the colour selected and design.

Q: How long is the appointment?

A: A new appointment for semi-permanent make-up can take from 1.5 to 3 hours with most of the time spent going over colours and drawing in shapes.
Cosmetic injectable appointments can take approx. 1 hour.

Q: How to secure an appointment?

A: You can contact me by email, phone or via the booking system to find a suitable date and time. Once agreed on a slot, an amount of deposit/booking fee is required to secure the appointment under your name. No reservation is possible without this payment. The deposit can be used towards your treatment price.

Q: I cannot attend my appointment anymore.

A: Please notify me via email with as much time as possible to cancel or rearrange. Unfortunately deposits are not refundable. 48 hours is required to move the time or date of your appointment.

Q: How long does it take to heal? Will I be able to go to work?

A: Initial healing period is 2 weeks with special attention needed for the treated area, however overall healing can take up to 28 days (4 weeks) for semi-permanent make-up. In most cases, clients can resume their normal daily activities (face washing, exercising etc.) after the first week as long as you follow the aftercare instructions and there is no scab on the enhancement.
Please refer to the aftercare for a better idea of post-treatment care.

Q: Can I get them wet or work out?

A: No, not for at least 1 week after the treatment so that the area is dry and thus, reducing the risk of complications or infection and can retain the maximum amount of pigment implanted. Should the area still have scabs after this time, it would need to be kept dry until all the scabs have fallen off naturally. It is generally advised to avoid hot baths for a couple of weeks.

Q: Can I wear makeup after?

A: The next day you can but not directly on the area that has just been treated for at least one week after the treatment. Generally, everywhere else is fine.

Q: When can I go out in the sun after the treatment?

A: The sun will be the main factor that accelerates the fading of the tattoo, hence it is essential that you avoid direct sunlight on the treated area for the longer life span altogether, not just during healing period. Wearing a hat, sunglasses and sun cream/sun block will be recommended.
There is aftercare guidance that can give you a better idea of what is involved post treatment in terms of looking after the area.

Q: It is not yet a month, why has the tattoo disappeared?

A: Please keep calm, this is expected as part of the healing process and colour generally resurfaces during healing. If you experience colour unevenness, remember a re-touch visit is recommended for first time clients. Please refer to terms and conditions for more details.

Q: It has been a week and my brows are itching.

A: Itching is completely normal, most frequently experienced following scabbing. This is the skin healing, please do not pick; peel or rub your enhancement at all and do note that the tattoo may look lighter once the scabs flake off naturally as the skin has covered the treated area.

Q: How long will they last?

A: It depends on the individual's skin; age group; lifestyle and activities as well as how the tattoo is taken care of after treatment. Generally, semi-permanent make-up treatments can last for 1-3 years. (Please refer to Terms and Conditions) Annual top ups are usually advised to freshen up the colour.
Cosmetic injectable treatments can vary from person to person.
