All about cosmetic tattoos

Permanent Makeup, or PMU, is a cosmetic tattooing technique that enhances natural features like brows, lips, and even freckles. Results typically last 1-3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the technique used.

ATTENTION- The HLO for the state of Oregon has recently announced tattoo artists are no longer able to apply use of topical numbing onto clients. Please reach out with any questions.

Yes! Cosmetic tattoos are safe for all skin types when done by a licensed professional. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type to customise the best approach for you.

Not if you let them know! Having done in-depth training, we are able to create hyper-realistic, ultra natural tattoos that mimic naturally occurring facial features. Different techniques also lend to a bolder “made up” look or you can choose subtle enhancements that give the “your face but better” effect.

Your tattoo will appear quite dark initially. Depending on the type of service, you should look “normal” by Day 4 or Day 7.

Initial healing takes about 7-10 days, with some light scabbing and fading. Full healing and color setting take 4-6 weeks, after which we can assess and schedule a touch-up if needed!

Aftercare is key to great results! You’ll need to avoid sweating, sun exposure, and submerging the treated area in water for extended period for about a week or more (don’t worry, you can still take showers!).
