Question 1

How long does cosmetic tattooing last?

Accepted Answer

Individual results will vary. Semi permanent makeup can last anywhere between 6-12months to 3-5years depending on skin type and lifestyle. Following aftercare correctly is important to maintain as much retention as possible. We recommend a refresh every 12-18months to boost colour.

Question 2

Does cosmetic tattooing hurt?

Accepted Answer

Everyone's pain tolerance is different. Most clients feel none to only minimal discomfort. 
Upon booking you will receive a link to purchase your numbing cream from a compounding chemist which is sent to the salon for application upon your arrival to your appointment. This numbing cream must be purchased by you so it is legally in your name and medically prescribed to you and you only.

Question 3

Will I need a touch up?

Accepted Answer

Your cosmetic tattoo procedure is a two step process. A $150 perfection touch up at 6-8 weeks post procedure is compulsory to perfect your eyebrow or lip tattoo procedure. Due to some pigment losing retention or possible gaps forming after the healing process it is very important to return around the 6 week mark to correct any needed areas. Touch up's after 10 weeks from the first initial procedure will have an extra cost involved as more time has passed.

Question 4

Is there risk of infection?

Accepted Answer

There is very minimal risk of infection due to very strict hygiene standards used in each procedure. Needles are sterile and only used once. To prevent cross-contamination Jasmine wears sterile gloves and practices extreme caution and disposable items. Strict aftercare instructions are given to the client at the end of the prodecure.

Question 5

Who is cosmetic tattooing not suitable for?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Chemotherapy patients. Prone to keliod scarring. Diabetic type 1. Dermatitas or eczma in the brows. Sunburnt or very sensitive skin. Keratosis. Must be over 18 years of age. Please contact Jasmine for a full list or if you have any concerns or questions.

Question 6

What should I expect after the procedure?

Accepted Answer

Immediately after the treatment the brows will look dark and bold. Over the next 7-10 days they will go dark, then begin the healing process of peeling and flaking. You may feel like you are losing pigment but it will return approxmately 3-4 weeks later. They will become itcy as they heal. Jasmine will go through this in detail at the end of your appointment.

Is a deposit needed upon booking?
