The minimum age for me to accept you as a Tattoo Client is 18. No exceptions.

I use a highly-effective anesthetic cream before and during Cosmetic Tattoo services. Pain tolerance varies from client to client and every effort is made to ensure you remain comfortable for the entirety of the procedure. Some areas are more sensitive than others. Having this service performed during your menstrual cycle may increase discomfort during your procedure. If you are a frequent smoker, the topical anesthetics used during the treatment will not last as long. If you have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, be aware that this may affect your tolerance for pain.

In short, no. You may notice increased sensitivity and/or swelling, as well as a prolonged healing period if you are menstruating or in your luteal phase during your session, but your results will not be effected.

BROWS:

MICROBLADING mimics the look of a natural hair and is implanted using a handheld tool with very fine needles. It is a natural looking option and is best for clients with dry-normal skin that want to enhance their existing eyebrows.

NANO BROWS also mimic the look of a natural hair, but this technique utilizes a tattoo machine with a configuration of a very fine needles. It is also very natural looking and works for all skin types, but is a better option for oily skin types than Microblading.

COMBO BROWS combine a hairstroke technique (Microblading or Nano) with powdered shading to create a custom look. The result is natural looking hair strokes with a bit of extra fullness and structure, the perfect blend for every day. Plus, it's my signature technique!

I will NOT apply Tattoo services to any client with the following:

- You are currently pregnant or breastfeeding

- You are currently undergoing chemotherapy/radiation treatments (exceptions can be made for end of life care)

- You have a history of keloid scarring

- You have any blood diseases or infections (HIV, AIDS, etc)

I can only apply Tattoo services to a client with the following if they receive the following services or cease use of the following products within the timeline that is listed below:

- You have a sunburn or heavy sun exposure in the area

- You receive chemical peels or AHA peels

- You receive botox or filler in the area

- You use products with Retinol, Lactic Acid, Retin A or Vitamin C in the area

- You experience cold sores or fever blisters in the area

*These products and services can effect how your skin accepts and retains the pigment and can result in patchy or uneven PMU/Tattoos, or in some cases can heighten your risk of infection or a cold sore outbreak.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you have extremely oily skin, the Microblading technique will most likely not work well for you long term. The constant production of oil in the skin will cause the hairstrokes to heal with a diffused, softer look. Your end result will look more solid.

If you have little to no existing hair, your tattoo will appear more 2-dimensional than those clients who have more hair naturally.

If you are a frequent smoker, your pigment may fade sooner and you may require refresh appointments more often than non-smokers.

If you are iron deficient or Anemic, your pigment may fade sooner and bleeding/bruising may occur during and after the procedure.

If you have had Cosmetic Tattoos previously tattooed by another artist, I cannot guarantee results. In some instances where the previous work is too dark, dense, discoloured, or large, tattoo removal will be highly recommended before you will be considered as a client. Previously tattooed areas will almost always require additional sessions and will be charged on an individual basis. Please send me photos via email or book a consultation PRIOR to booking so that I can ensure that your existing tattoos are workable and that I feel confident that I can achieve the results that you are looking for. Failure to send me photos or book a consult for approval PRIOR to booking could result in the loss of your deposit and last minute cancellation charges if I am not able to work over your existing Tattoos.

Cosmetic Tattoo First Time Clients with no existing work require 2 sessions, 4-8 weeks apart.

Clients with existing Cosmetic Tattoos done by me can book in for a single session to refresh their PMU.

Clients with existing Cosmetic Tattoos done by another artist must send me photos or book a consultation PRIOR to booking for an individual quote on sessions required and pricing.

*these are the average requirements for most clients, but sessions needed can vary depending on many factors.

For all Cosmetic Tattoo services that are not maintained with Refresh appointments, the pigment will fade externally within 3-5 years. Some skin types hold pigment longer and some hold for less, but this is the average for most of my clients.

Microblading will last about 18-24 months before needing to be refreshed.

Nano Brows & Combo Brows will last about 24-30 months before needing to be refreshed.

Sun exposure: The sun will extremely soften the look of your tattoo, so sunblock should be used (once healed) to prolong your Tattoo.

Skin Cell Regeneration: The longer the regeneration takes, the longer the pigment holds.

Color Choice: Some colors fade quicker than others, e.g. a blonde color will fade quicker than a dark brown or black color.

The area of treatment: Enhancements to the face, for example, fade more quickly due to constant exposure.

Bleeding during the procedure: Any bleeding during the tattooing procedure will reduce the amount of pigment that is absorbed. Please refer to my Pre-Care EBook to avoid excess bleeding during our appointment.

Aftercare: Failure to follow my aftercare instructions diligently during the first 2 weeks of healing can contribute to less than desired results an may result in additional sessions being required at your expense.

Iron Deficiency: If you suffer from Anemia or low iron this could affect the way your body reacts to the pigment. The pigment I use contains iron oxide, which can result in pigment fading or changing in hue due to your body absorbing the iron.

Yes! I pride myself on having an immaculate and sterile studio space. I only use single use, disposable needles and supplies. This means that each set-up for each new client is discarded safely afterwards. All surfaces are thoroughly disinfected before opening and after each procedure throughout the day.

The studio space is health inspector approved and I carry up to date certifications for Bloodborne Pathogen Safety Training & First Aid/CPR to ensure the safety of myself and my clients.
