Will it hurt? 

A topical anesthetic is applied before the procedure begins.  Then, a second numbing application is done during the procedure to make it as comfortable for you as possible. 

How Long Will it Last?

The treatment is considered semi-permanent and will not wash off, however, it will fade over time and may need a touch-up every 1-2 years. Frequency of touch-ups depends on a number of factors including:

• the pigment color used (lighter colors fade faster)
• lifestyle (sun exposure)
• iron deficiency (your body absorbs iron-oxide as a supplement)
• if any chemical peels come into contact with treated areas.

Please note that final results cannot be guaranteed as each unique skin type will hold pigments differently and break down at different rates. The tattooed hair strokes tend to have a more crisp look once healed on dry skin compared to more blurry strokes on oily skin.   I will re-evaluate how your skin has received the pigment at your touch-up appointment and make any changes necessary. 

Touch-ups are normal for cosmetic tattoo procedures, with each new procedure requiring 2 visits. The initial procedure is followed by a touch-up procedure, if needed, about 6-8 weeks later.

Can I exercise after getting a cosmetic tattoo?

You must avoid working out for 5-7 days following your cosmetic tattoo appointment. Light exercising is allowed (minimal sweating), but you MUST clean the tattooed area with lukewarm water as soon as you are done exercising. The salt in the sweat will fade the pigment very quickly and give poor results.
