Yes, there are multiple shades available and we can mix and match them to create the perfect shade for the individual.

The feeling will differ form person to person. At About Face Clinic we use a medical gade topical numbing cream. Most people feel little to no pain during the procedure.

Cosmetic tattooing can last 1-2 years. You may still have some stain left leaving some colour however the strokes will fade and lose definition.

This is why we recommend coming in annually for your refill to keep them looking fresh.

Cosmetic tattooing is not an exact science, many variables can influence why a tattoo may not hold in certain places.

Everyone's skin is different; colour may hold differently, there may be sun damage or scarring, or mishaps in the healing process.

That is why we recommend coming in for a review at the 4-6 week mark for Nettie to assess and perfect the brow or lip.

A Cosmetic Tattoo is not the same as a regular tattoo.

The difference between the two treatments is the machine, the depth to which the pigment is tattooed into the skin, and the pigments used.

Traditional tattooing is injected deeper into the skin and uses ink, whereas Cosmetic tattooing is more superficial and uses a pigment.
