  • Q: Is it truly permanent?
    A: I see it as more semipermanent than permanent. The reason for this is because we cannot go as deep as you would on a normal tattoo on your arm or leg. It's more subjectable to fade when you shed skin cells.

  • Q: Does it hurt?
    A: Everybody has different sensitivity levels. I've had clients who have fallen asleep and also had clients who became sore quickly. It is not painful, more of a discomfort. I advise women not to come in when they're menstrating.

  • Q: Are the pigments safe?
    A: All of my pigments are FDA approved and made in the U.S.A. These pigments are specially made for permanent makeup. If your skin is super sensitive or you feel you might be allergic, I recommend doing a patch test first.

    A: Absolutely. Some may think that the ingredients in our pigments cause inaccurate readings but the truth is that there is not enough iron oxides in our pigments to even come close to interfering. By the way, how many people do you know that do not have some form of a tattoo?

  • Q: Is it expensive?
    A: It all depends on how you look at it and what you consider expensive. If you think about it how much would you spend for a good quality name brand eyeliner, brow pencil or lipliner in a year? Not just the money, but also think of the time you would be saving? So what is extra time worth to you?
