Frequently Asked Questions.
Permanent Make-up FAQ’s.
What is micropigmentation?
Micropigmentation is a form of cosmetic tattooing that uses a fine needle to gently place pigment into the upper layers of the skin, giving soft, natural results. This technique uses pigments designed to fade gradually over time. The goal is to enhance your natural features.
Do I need a patch test?
For permanent make-up your patch test will be conducted in the consultation appointment. You will need a new patch test if you have any medical history changes, new medication etc. or if 6 months has passed since your last patch test.
What is your cancellation policy?
A £50 non-refundable booking fee is taken when you make your appointment. Cancellation / rescheduling is free provided you give at least one-week's notice should you wish to cancel / reschedule. The booking fee will not be refunded but can be transferred only once to a future appointment. Cancellation or rescheduling within a week of your appointment will require a new booking fee if you wish to make a future appointment.
What do I need to do before my permanent make-up appointment?
Please avoid drinking alcohol within 48-hours of your permanent make-up appointment and absolutely no caffeine on the day of your appointment. Please ensure your face is clean and free of make-up. Lip blush: If you suffer from coldsores you will need to have started a course of anti-coldsore medication a few days prior to your appointment. This will be explained in detail at your consultation appointment.
What are the aftercare steps for my permanent make-up procedure?
You will leave your appointment with full aftercare products and information which will be explained to you in your appointment. The main thing is keeping the area clean, dry and nourished. Aftercare is absolutely vital for best possible results.
How many sessions/treatments will I need?
For permanent make-up on any area you will have two appointments included. The initial appointment and a 'perfecting' appointment approximately 8-weeks later.
Fine Line Tattoo FAQ’s.
What is fine line tattooing?
Fine line tattooing is delicate, detailed body art created using ultra thin needles. Subtle, elegant and timeless. Think script, florals, meaningful symbols. Soft, refined and beautifully understated.
Will we design my tattoo before my appointment?
Yes we’ll collaborate on your design via WhatsApp before your appointment so we can refine size, placement and details together.
I want you to arrive feeling excited and comfortable in what we’re creating, no pressure, no rush, just the perfect fine line piece for you.
How should I prepare for my tattoo?
Please ensure you eat beforehand, to keep your blood sugar stable, no shaky clients!
Stay well hydrated, internally and externally - better hydration equals better results.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours beforehand.
Do not apply fake tan to the area.
Arrive fed, fresh and excited!
What should I wear?
Please wear something loose and comfortable that easily exposes the area to be tattooed. If it squeezes, pinches or rubs the area being tattooed - avoid!
What is your minimum age for tattoos?
18+ only. No exceptions. Please bring ID to show if requested.
How do I look after my tattoo?
Again, hydration is key. Your tattoo will be covered when you leave the studio by a protective film. After that it is important to keep it clean and moisturised. You will receive aftercare instructions and products to use.
Are there any areas of the body you will not tattoo?
We do not tattoo feet, fingers or intimate areas. Fine line requires the right canvas to heal beautifully and we want your tattoo to age well.
Can I get a tattoo if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No - we will not proceed with a tattoo if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please wait until 3 months after birth / your breastfeeding journey has ended - it just isn’t worth the risk.
Can you tattoo over a scar?
Often yes, usually after it is 12 months + old. Send us a picture and we can chat!
Do you do colour tattoos?
Fine line black work is our style, we do offer red ink for some designs.
How long will my tattoo take to heal?
Surface healing will take 7-10 days, fully settled in the skin expect 4-6 weeks.
Do I need a patch test?
A patch test isn’t required but you are more than welcome to book one. Head to our booking page and select ’tattoo patch test’.
What is your cancellation policy?
A booking fee is required to secure your appointment. If you decide not to go ahead, the booking fee is retained.
48-hours notice is required to reschedule, which can be done only once. Less than 48-hours notice will result in the booking fee being retained.
