Cosmetic Tattooing, Semi Permanent Makeup, Microblading or Micro-pigmentation, Is the process of implanting pigment color into the skin with tiny needles to give the appearance of tiny hair strokes, and makeup and to enhance one's natural beauty. Results can vary from person to person depending on personal preference and desired look. From subtle and natural to dramatic anything is possible with semi-permanent makeup.

The techniques, pigments, and longevity are what differentiate's body tattooing from cosmetic tattooing. Cosmetic tattooing uses pigments as body tattooing uses Ink, Cosmetic pigment will fade over the years and will require touch-ups every few years to maintain the color. This allows the artist to change your look and color as time goes on.

The only difference between Microblading and cosmetic tattooing is the tools used to complete the procedure. Microblading is performed manually with a pen-shaped tool and normally some cosmetic tattooing may be done with machines. Both of these modalities are considered a tattoo as they puncture the epidermis. The pigments that are used for microblading are the same pigments used In cosmetic tattooing.

You must be 18 Years or older to receive a cosmetic tattoo at Platinum Skin.

I go above and beyond to ensure client comfort during any brow treatment. I use a combination of highly effective numbing agents to pre-numb your skin prior to the session and during the session. Pain tolerance levels differ from person to person but with the use of these numbing agents the treatment can be very tolerable and comfortable.

I do not recommend having your brows done while you are pregnant or nursing.

Cosmetic Tattooing will be semi-permanent, How the pigment retains in each client's skin will vary from person to person. Over time the brow makeup will fade and the area that was tattooed will require color boosts to keep the color fresh. Multiple sessions are normal with any cosmetic tattooing procedure and a minimum of 2 visits is always required with each new treatment Typically clients will visit every year to every 2-3 years for a color touch-up.

The second session is always scheduled for no sooner than 6 weeks after the initial session, This time frame gives the skin the right amount of time to heal and for the pigment to settle in the skin.

Typically most clients will require two sessions to perfect their new eyebrows, there are many factors that impact how a client heals as well as maintains their pigment after the procedure, influences can range from genetics, skin health, skin type, aftercare, sun exposure, and skincare. It is common for your eyebrows to heal a bit lighter very first session, this is why we educate our clients to understand this is very normal and with the touch-up, we can address any areas that may not have taken the pigment as well and make necessary changes.

Prior to booking an appointment with me please either come in for a consultation or send clear pictures of your eyebrows to our email. I must be sure your eyebrows are workable and then we can move forward from there. Cover Up work may need additional sessions and would be charged accordingly.
