SHOULD I EXPECT PERFECTION?
Our number one goal is to provide perfectly beautiful results - every time!   But please understand that tattooing is an ART. It is not an exact science.  RESULTS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED OR EVEN ENTIRELY PREDICTED and RESULTS DO VARY FROM PERSON TO PERSON.  Partially because different skin types react differently to each pigment applied. For example:   Have you
ever purchased a beautiful shade of lipstick and found out later that the color changes once you apply it - and it even looks  more different on your friend?  

This happens because the chemistry of the product mixes with the chemistry of our bodies - and produces varying results.  The same thing can occur with pigments.  So, if you choose one "particular" color - you cannot have your mind SET on that exact shade...  You have to be prepared to live with a "variation" of  that shade.   Here's the rule:

PIGMENT  + YOUR OWN COLORING
= THE FINAL RESULT!

The best approach is to prepare yourself for IMPROVEMENT, not PERFECTION.  If you think you may NOT be able to accept anything different, then you might consider one of our other procedures, that is a little less "permanent" such as Lash Extensions.


WILL IT SAVE MONEY?
That all depends on how much you like makeup.  I love makeup and I still buy it - so I have not really saved much.  On the other hand, there are some people who will do just fine tossing their makeup bag. I think It's a matter of preference!



WILL IT SAVE TIME?
Oh yes!  It truly does help save time!  How much time do you spend just getting your brows even... Or getting the eyeliner just right.  Once you have permanent makeup - even if has faded some - it is still much easier when you have a
guideline to follow. It totally speeds up the process.  When you are in a hurry and don't have time or the need to apply extra makeup, you will always look so much better - since you have your permanent makeup!



HOW DO I CHOOSE A TECHNICIAN?
You must be comfortable with your decision.  So, choose  carefully by considering  training, experience, and photographic examples of previous work.  It is important to remember that the shape and proper placement of the
procedure is as important as the right color - so be sure to choose one who is artistically talented.

HOW IS IT DONE?
This implantation process deposits microscopic particles of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. Procedures are performed using various machines
and methods.  Some include the traditional tattoo or coil machines, or by a pen or rotary machine method. Still, some instances are better served by softly tapping the pigment in using a small hand  tool.

IS IT REALLY PERMANENT?
It's considered permanent because it cannot be removed easily.  However, it does fade over time creating a need for future applications - if you want to keep the look refreshed.

WHY DO PRICES VARY SO MUCH?
Different people charge different prices. Some prices are based on experience others are not. It is impossible to tell the quality of a person's work by simply studying their price sheet.

HOW LONG DOES A PROCEDURE TAKE?
The normal time you can expect to be worked on can range from 30 minutes to several hours. A good rule of thumb is roughly two hours per procedure, but you can't count on any specific time for sure. If you have a lot of questions, it will take longer than if you don't. But please know that you will never be rushed through a procedure.

IS IT PAINFUL?
Everyone's pain threshold is different. Topical anesthetics will be applied prior to and during the procedure to help ensure maximum comfort.

But also expect that everything will start to soften during the healing process. Healing time is different for each individual and for different procedures.

Pigment color may change somewhat during the healing process as well, as it combines in with each individual's skin tone.  
Q. ARE PERMANENT COSMETICS REALLY PERMANENT?

A. Technically, permanent cosmetics procedures are considered permanent because the color is implanted into the upper reticular part of the
dermal layer of the skin and cannot be washed off. However, as with any tattoo, fading can and often does occur, requiring periodic
maintenance, color re-enhancement or color re-freshing. Just like hair color, furniture that may be located near a window, or even house paint,
pigment implanted in the skin may fade with time. It is important to consider this and all aspects of the procedure when selecting a potential
permanent cosmetic makeup technician.



Q. HOW MUCH DOES PERMANENT COSMETIC MAKEUP COST?

A. The average cost per procedure varies but usually averages between $400-$800. Advanced work may be charged at $150 to $250 per hour.
Many of these procedures are commonly referred to as para-medical procedures. Work performed from physician's offices or specialized
clinics may be charged at higher rates.



Q. HOW LONG DOES EACH PROCEDURE TAKE?

A. The initial procedure will generally take approximately 1 to 2 ½ hours. Touch up procedures usually do not require as much time.

Q. IS IT PAINFUL?

A. Most people experience some discomfort. This may vary according to each individual's pain threshold and the skills of the technician
performing the service. HOWEVER, there are different methods available to help with pain management, including various topical anesthetic
ointments, anesthetic locals and nerve blocks (administered by a doctor or dentist). Your technician should discuss these methods with you to
determine which one suits you best.



Q. IS IT SAFE?

A. If proper sterilization and sanitary guidelines are met, permanent cosmetics should be completely safe. These guidelines include the
following:

MOST IMPORTANT Things To Look For:

* All Needles should be new and sterile for each client.
* Other machine parts should also be pre-sterilized and disposed of in a sanitary manner.
* Other equipment and supplies should be kept in a sanitary manner.
* Gloves should be new for each client and changed during the procedure when needed.
* The technician should be clean and neat and knowledgeable of environmental safety requirements.
* Clean sheets should be used for each patient.
* The room or treatment area should be in an area free from other contaminants.



Q. WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE IT?

A. REMEMBER: Although the procedure is considered permanent, these procedures do have flexibility in changing color and shape to some
extent, depending on the expertise of your technician. Colors will appear darker immediately following the procedure but will soften and lighten
during the healing process. The healing time is different for each individual and procedure.

Q. WHICH TECHNICIAN SHOULD I CHOOSE?

A. Choose a technician carefully by considering training, experience, and portfolio. It is important to remember that the shape and proper
placement of the procedure is as important as the right color. The desired look is obtained during the course of consultation, initial procedure
and follow up procedures. Interaction between the client and the technician should be of utmost importance.



Q. IS PERMANENT COSMETIC MAKEUP A CAREER FOR ME?

A. The opportunities for skilled permanent cosmetics technicians are many and varied. Career and business opportunities vary greatly
depending on the individual technician's training and desires. Many nurses and doctors, as well as hair, skin, and nail care professionals are
choosing to train in permanent cosmetic procedures. The demand for advanced/para-medical procedures increases with public knowledge of
the benefits of permanent cosmetic makeup.

Q. ARE THERE ANY AFTER OR SIDE EFFECTS?

A. Generally, there is some swelling of the treated area. While eyebrows my show little after effect, eyeliner and lips may show more and the
edema may last may last from two to seventy two hours During the procedure there may be some bleeding and or bruising. There is usually
some tenderness for a few days. The color is much darker than you may expect for the first six to ten days. Sometimes, people have reactions
to antibiotics. You may use any type of antibiotic that you prefer for your individual system. There may be other side effects unforeseen due to
individuality.



Q. DO THE PIGMENTS POSE ALLERGY PROBLEMS?

A. The application is just deep enough to penetrate the minute capillaries in the dermal layer of skin. There have been so few reactions to the
pigments that some doctors are suggesting that the patch test be eliminated. You can develop an allergy to anything, anytime. Some doctors
recommend that people with allergies have permanent cosmetic procedures because they can replace cosmetic products that they are
sensitive to. There have been very few reactions to pigments and only rarely in the case of blue-based red pigments.



Q. IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY FOR MEDICAL PROBLEMS?

A. The possibility that you would have any problems or reactions from these procedures is almost non-existent with today’s health standards.
SPCP member professionals are given continued opportunities for education in practicing precise methods of sanitation and sterilization.
Post procedural instructions, if followed carefully, will completely eliminate any risk.

Q. WHAT'S A TOUCH-UP AND WHEN DO I NEED ONE?

A. A touch-up is a color re-enhancement. Almost always the implanted color is not perfect after the first procedure. These procedures are
processes and at least one follow-up to the initial procedure should be scheduled...It is recommended that you do not traumatize the skin
again for a minimum of four weeks. Six weeks is better but of course, your individual needs take precedence. Eight weeks is recommended
after a lip procedure.



Q. CAN I STILL HAVE AN MRI SCAN?

A. Numerous studies have shown that even for people who have large body tattoos there is little to no potential for irritation resulting from an
MRI. In the rare instance where discomfort resulted, it was localized and very temporary. Most people have more metal in their fillings than they
would ever have in tattoo work.
