A link will be emailed to you with a link to fill out your pre-appointment paperwork. This must be done prior to your appointment.
At your appointment I will apply a topical lidocaine to numb your eyebrows. This will sit on your skin while we will discuss size, shape, color, etc. Once I remove the numbing cream, I will take before photos of your eyebrows. Then, I will begin to map out and shape your eyebrows.
I will show you the shape and color I recommend for you and welcome any feedback you may have. This is 100% your decision. I will not begin the service until I know that we both 100% agree to shape and color. I want my clients to feel completely empowered but please also respect that I would never tattoo something that I personally didn’t like either. You will be a walking billboard for me and its important to me that you look your best.
At this point, if you decide to not go through with the service for any reason, you will not owe the balance, but you will forfeit your $100 booking fee.
At the end of the service we will go over aftercare, take after photos, schedule your touch up, and collect the balance owed.

Does Perma Blend pigments contain nickel?
No, they do not.
Do Perma Blend pigments contain iron oxides?
Some do. Iron oxides are non-toxic, non-allergenic, and generally well-tolerated by those with sensitive skin. They also have superior lightfastness which keeps them from fading and makes them great for permanent makeup. All of our pigments— whether organic or inorganic— undergo rigorous third-party safety and quality analysis to ensure the best results for you and your clients. So there's no need to worry.
For Nano brows, I use Hanafy Pigments. You can view the ingredients here: https://hanafy.us/pages/about-us
Ingredients: Aqua, Rosin, Glycerin, Isopropyl Alcohol, Hamamelis Virginiana Extract, CI #77266, CI#12315, CI#21108, CI#77891.
I also use Brovi pigments:
All pigments from the basic Brovi brow line have aqua, Hamamelis virginiana extract, glycerin, and alcohol in their formulas. The only difference between the mixes is colorants.
What is the base ingredient of Brovi pigments?
The base of the regular Brovi line is hydroalcoholic. It also has glycerin (which helps a lot when working in the hair strokes technique as it has an ability to “hold” thin lines) and witch hazel extract (which is a natural antiseptic and skin toner).
The pigments from Brovi+ line consist only of deionized water, witch hazel extract and colorants.
It is important to consider healed results and long term care of your cosmetic tattoo before making the decision to get tattooed. Please read the following:

The fading of a tattoo is a natural and inevitable process that occurs gradually over time. Eventually, it may reach a point where it becomes undetectable to the individual, although in many cases, some residual color may persist. The duration and extent of fading vary greatly from person to person and are influenced by a myriad of factors. Lifestyle choices, skin health, the use of skincare products, age, as well as advancements in techniques, technology, and pigments within the cosmetic tattoo industry all play a role in determining the rate and degree of fading. It is important for individuals undergoing cosmetic tattooing to understand that lightening or removal of the tattoo may be a normal part of their journey. For those considering removal, laser treatment is often recommended as it is the quickest and most effective method available.

A few factors to consider based on skin type:
Normal Skin/Dry Skin: Microblading & Nano heals best on normal to dry skin types.
Thick/Oily Skin/Acne prone skin: Microblading & Nano may not work well on clients with oily skin types or large pores. Increased oil production can cause hair strokes to blur and heal lighter and more powdery than you would expect. Oily skin will require touch ups more often. I recommend adding manual shading to your service for optimal results.
Mature Skin: Tends to be thinner and more delicate which may increase the likelihood of bleeding, loss of pigment, and pigment migration..
Dark-Complexioned Skin: There may be less contrast and visible detail in the microbladed strokes.
Thin Skin: Due to the fragility of thin skin, it is not recommended to receive Microblading.What will my cosmetic tattoo look like in the future?
Most client’s cosmetic tattoos will fade and soften over time while remaining true to the original tone. However, there are cases where colors can shift over time due to a client’s lifestyle, such as iron deficiencies, sun exposure, skincare regimen, etc. During your follow up appointment, I will analyze the original pigment used and make any necessary adjustments to help give you the best long lasting result.
It's important to remember that all pigments are made of primary colors. The base color of the pigment may show over time. This is why color refreshers are recommended every 3-4 years.

What should I expect during the initial healing period?
During the first few days, your newly microbladed eyebrows may appear warmer or more intense in color. It's normal for them to look up to 20% darker and 10% thicker during the first 3-5 days of healing.
What can I anticipate on days 4-5 of healing?
Around day 4-5, you may experience itching, peeling, or flaking skin. It's crucial not to pick or pull on it during this phase, as this can lead to loss of pigment and changes in color intensity.
Why do my eyebrows look lighter around days 10-14?
Between days 10-14, your eyebrows may seem to have lightened significantly. This is a normal part of the healing process, and the color will gradually start to reappear after 2 weeks.
What should I do if some strokes have lightened too much or disappeared after 30 days?
Once your brows are fully healed (around 30 days), you may notice that a few strokes have lightened too much or disappeared. During your follow-up appointment, your microblading artist will assess how you've healed and make any necessary adjustments to the shape and color.
What precautions should I take during the healing process?
During the healing process, it's crucial to avoid:
Applying brow makeup, face wash, face lotion, or any other products on and around your eyebrows.
Engaging in activities that cause sweating.
Using harsh cleansers near or on your brows.
Allowing bath towels, tissues, or washcloths to touch your face.
Engaging in harsh scrubbing of the eyebrow area.
Taking long, hot, steamy showers.
Direct contact with the shower head.
Swimming, particularly in pools, jacuzzis, or saunas.
Sleeping on your side to prevent rubbing.
Prolonged exposure to the sun.
Exposing your eyebrows to dust, dirt, or gardening activities.

As a safety precaution, we do not tattoo pregnant or nursing mothers. I do look forward to serving you once it is safe to do so. If you have booked an appointment and then found out you are pregnant, I will hold your booking fee for one year.

Microblading is a revolutionary form of cosmetic tattooing. Fine hair strokes are created by depositing pigment into the skin with a manual handheld tool.
Microblading is designed to blend with your natural brow hair, the more hair you have the more realistic your results will be. If you have very little or sparse eyebrow hair, results will appear more 2d, and it is possible that you may need more than two sessions to achieve your desired result.
Microblading is not intended to replace eyebrow makeup. If you are used to a bold, makeup eyebrow, then you may still want to fill them in. Microblading gives you the ability to build on it and make it bold when you want, but on the days when you don’t have makeup on, you will feel like you have a nice, structured brow that compliments your natural features.

Nano brows are done with a tattoo machine and single needle. This premier service provides all the benefits of microblading, but with much less trauma to the skin. I am currently testing out this technique. I will post more information as my healed work comes back to me. Due to the gentle nature of this technique, nano is safe for all skin type. If you have very sparse brows, nano is a great solution for you.
I am currently in the process of documenting every clients results so that I can better gage if one procedure is better than the other. Stay tuned.

Pain tolerance varies from person to person. I use two different topical numbing agents to ensure our clients remain comfortable during the entire procedure. These topicals contain 5% lidocaine and epinephrine. The procedure might be slightly uncomfortable but not unbearable. If you are someone with a very low pain tolerance, this procedure may not be for you. Although, 99% of my clients would say it is mostly painless.
-
Please avoid alcohol, caffeine (foregoing coffee may be very hard for some, I understand but if you bleed during your procedure, you are wasting your money), aspirin, niacin, ibuprofen, or any blood thinners for 24 hours prior to your procedure.
I recommend waiting at least 6 weeks to get microblading done if you have received botox injections.
Avoid vitamin e and fish oil for at least 24 hours prior to your procedure.
Discontinue vitamin a/retinol/glycolic acid/lactic acid/salicylic acid and any exfoliating or skin regenerating products two weeks prior to microblading procedure.
Any brow shaping using waxing or tinting should be performed at least 72 hours before the procedure.
Exfoliating treatments such as microdermabrasion should not be performed within 2 weeks prior to procedure.
Must be off of accutane for at least 1 year prior to microblading procedure.
Please note: if your brow structure is extremely uneven, botox may be recommended prior to booking with me.

An eyeliner tattoo, also known as permanent eyeliner or cosmetic eyeliner tattooing, is a semi-permanent makeup procedure where pigment is tattooed along the lash line to enhance the appearance of the eyes.
-
The longevity of an eyeliner tattoo varies from person to person but typically lasts between three to five years before needing a touch up. Factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare practices can influence the duration of the tattoo.
-
Risks include allergic reactions to the pigment, infection, scarring, and dissatisfaction with the results. It's essential to choose a reputable and experienced tattoo artist who follows strict hygiene and safety protocols.
High Vascularity Consideration: Clients with high vascularity in their eyelids, characterized by visible blood vessels or a tendency to bleed easily, may not be suitable candidates for eyeliner tattooing. High vascularity increases the risk pigment migration, which can compromise the results and pose future discoloration in other areas of your eyelid.
-
Before the procedure, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications. Discontinue use of lash serums 6 weeks prior to your appointment. Do not wear contacts to your appointment. Discuss any medical conditions or allergies with your tattoo artist. It's advisable to avoid using eye makeup on the day of the procedure.
Remove Lash Extensions: If you currently have lash extensions, it's essential to have them removed at least two weeks before your scheduled eyeliner tattoo appointment. Lash extensions can interfere with the tattooing process and may need to be fully removed to ensure the tattoo artist can work effectively along the lash line.
Discontinue Lash Growth Serums: Stop using any lash growth serums or enhancers at least six weeks before your eyeliner tattoo appointment. These products can affect the integrity of the skin and may interfere with the tattooing process or the healing of the treated area.
Avoid Eye Contacts: If you wear contact lenses, it's advisable to switch to glasses for at least 24 hours before your eyeliner tattoo appointment. Contact lenses can irritate the eyes during and after the procedure, and wearing them may increase the risk of discomfort or complications.
Consultation and Patch Test: If you are feeling unsure, please schedule a consultation with me to discuss your expectations, medical history, and any concerns you may have about the procedure. During the consultation, your artist may also perform a patch test to check for any allergic reactions to the tattoo ink or numbing agents.
Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning: In the weeks leading up to your eyeliner tattoo appointment, it's essential to avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and prone to complications during the tattooing process.
Stay Hydrated and Get Adequate Sleep: Maintaining good overall health is important for optimal healing and recovery after an eyeliner tattoo. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and eat a balanced diet in the days leading up to your appointment.
Follow Aftercare Instructions: Familiarize yourself with the aftercare instructions provided by your tattoo artist and make any necessary preparations. You may need to purchase specific ointments or creams to apply to the treated area during the healing process.
By following these preparation steps and guidelines, you can help ensure a smooth and successful eyeliner tattoo experience. Be sure to communicate openly with your tattoo artist, follow their advice, and ask any questions you may have before the procedure to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
