MEET VIRGINIA, MASTER ARTIST COSMETIC TATTOOIST, CORRECTIONS SPECIALIST & SKIN REJUVENATION PROFESSIONAL
Having been in the industry many years, I have learnt the most important lesson with permanent makeup: long term results!
The integrity of the skin, and the work looking amazing (with maintenance colour boosts) in not just 2 or 3, but 10 years time is down to techniques, pigment choices, knowledge, of what will and what won’t work for you, and your skin type.
Permanent makeup techniques are not a one size fits all. If you’re not suitable for a procedure, I am able to offer advice and different methods to ensure amazing results. I will ensure we choose the correct method based on your preference and skin type, and lifestyle.

The consultation is one of the most important aspects of any permanent makeup procedure. This can be done prior to booking or on the day of the procedure. This is when I will go through any medical conditions, skin conditions or medicines which may harm or effect you during and after your procedure. I WILL NOT carry out any procedure non-compliant with health and safety regulations and I will refer clients with certain health conditions to a GP and dermatologist to get a written letter to confirm the procedure can be carried out.
The consultation is extremely exciting as this is when we will discuss and design your new look! We will discuss design, lifestyle, colour choices and what we can achieve on based on your personal preferences and your face. Please note previous tattooing and scarring may affect what is achievable. We will always discuss and agree on the entire procedure before we get started. A pre-drawing of the procedure will also be done so you can confirm we are both on the same page with the desired outcome.
I will discuss the procedure with you throughout and ensure you are comfortable and confident at all times.

Once we have discussed the treatment a pre-drawing will be done, and once satisfied I will take a photo and ask you to sign a consent form.

Careful attention needs to be taken following your permanent makeup procedure. Correct aftercare will help ensure pigment retention and the longevity of your tattoo.
Immediately after treatment your tattoo will appear darker, over the next few days your tattoo will begin to become flakey.
For the first 2 hours, wipe the area with the Cotton pads provided in your aftercare kit.
Days 2-10 gently cleanse the area using a non scented very mild soap and pat dry. Do this once in the morning and once in the evening
After cleansing the area, apply ointment provided in the aftercare kit
When applying barrier creams please use a clean cotton bud (and a different swab for each eyebrow or eyeliner) or clean finger.
After 5 days the flakeyness should have fallen off and after 4/6 weeks you will see the healed result of 1 session.
You will need a touch up appointment to be carried out 6-12 weeks after your initial treatment and only after this will you see your end result.
