Whether it’s your first session or your fifth, here’s what to know before you arrive for your tattoo service:

How should i prepare for my appointment

• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners (like aspirin or ibuprofen) 24 hours before your appointment. These can increase bleeding and affect pigment retention.

• Arrive with clean skin-no makeup or skincare products on the treatment area.

• For brows or eyeliner, skip lash/brow serums and retinols for 2 weeks prior.

• For Lip Blushing, we recommend hydrating lips daily and exfoliating gently the week before. Cold sore prone clients should take antiviral meds as prescribed.

Does it hurt?

Discomfort is minimal and varies by client. We use high-quality topical numbing agents to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.

How long does it take?

• Brows, Eyeliner, and Lips: 2 to 3 hours

• Freckles and Beauty Marks: 1 hour

• Areola Tattooing: 2.5-3.5 hours

• Fine Line Tattoos: Varies based on detail

what is the healing process like?

Expect light scabbing and flaking up to one week. Full results settle in after 4-6 weeks. Avoid sweat, pools, and sun exposure while healing.

How long does it last?

• Brows, Eyeliner, Lips: 1-3 years

• Freckles 6-12 months

• Areola: long lasting, may fade slightly over years

• Fine line tattoos: permanent, through fine detail may soften

can i get multiple services in one day?

Yes, depending on the service combo and your skin. Please reach out and I will do my best to schedule accordingly.

when should i not book a service?

• Are pregnant/nursing

• Are undergoing chemo/radiation

• Take Accutane or blood thinners

• Have active skin infections or recent cosmetic peels

• Have uncontrolled diabetes or certain medical conditions (We’ll review your health history during consultation.)

do I need a conultation first?

Not necessarily. We will go all the information in the first appointment. A $50 deposit is required to book any service including a consultation. If you book a service at the end of the consultation appointment, then it will apply to your scheduled service.
