Most clients say no, some even fall asleep during a procedure. We all have different pain thresholds but we do everything in our power to make all our clients comfortable by using the best and most effective topical anaesthetics and taking every precaution to make each client as comfortable as possible, no one has ever not had a procedure done because they found it painful. Sometimes scratchy but not painful.
Usually a couple of years but everyone is different. We recommend seeing clients for an annual top up which is approximately half the cost of the original procedure and only one appointment.
If this is your first time undergoing the procedure, it always involves two appointments. The first appointment includes a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your goals, preferred shape and color. You’ll fill out a medical questionnaire and consent form. We’ll then review aftercare instructions and provide guidance on aftercare balms. Finally, we’ll perform the treatment (or multiple treatments) during this longer appointment.
Approximately a month later, you’ll return for a top-up session, which is included in the price. Some fading is expected, and this session allows us to add more color to ensure it lasts longer. Our motto is to err on the side of caution. Your top-up/second appointment gives you the opportunity to decide if you want to go thicker, longer, or darker once you’re accustomed to your new semi-permanent makeup.
Of course, the timing between appointments is flexible and can be adjusted to fit your schedule or visits to Amsterdam.
The healing time is approximately a week, some people heal in 4-5 days and some up to 9-10 days. It depends also on what you have had done eg a beauty spot or subtle eyeliner will take less time than a full lip color.
The colour you leave with is stonger than the healed result. We show you on your skin what the colour will fade to so you know what to expect and that helps you with colour choice. You will usually lose 40-50% of the colour on eyebrows and eyeliner and 50-70% of the colour on your lips. Your semi permanent make up will look like strong going out make up in the first few days.
Make up can be done as subtle or as dramatic as you would like us to do for you. Options we do are:
- Powderbrows
- Ombrebrows.
- Eyeliner
- Full lips color
As long as you choose the right technician who listens carefully to what outcome you are hoping to achieve this should never happen. Do not go on price as this is a cosmetic tattoo and cannot be wiped away like normal make up. That is why it is good we have 2 appointments and you can always add more on the second appointment. Our policy is to “err on the side of caution”.
Yes looks great with any skin tone. In the case of Asian or Black skin colour muted colours will not stand out and we suggest more vibrant lip colours, looks great for eyebrows and eyeliner also.
Numerous studies have shown that even people will a full body tattoo can have little or no irritation with an MRI scan, there should be no issue having one although we suggest you advise the technician doing the scan.
