I assess whether a lip tattoo is suitable during consultation, considering cold sores, pregnancy or breastfeeding, blood-thinning medicines, active skin conditions, scar tissue, and recent cosmetic treatments. An active cold sore means treatment must not go ahead. Timing after filler or other procedures matters, and full disclosure helps me protect your safety and healed result. […]

I advise keeping the treated area dry for the first seven days, avoiding products over the brows until healing is complete, and not picking or scratching flaking skin. Keep retinol and exfoliating acids away for at least four weeks. Protect fully healed brows from UV with broad-spectrum SPF to help preserve colour and longevity. You

I recommend choosing lip blush for a soft, translucent tint, full lip colour saturation for bolder, more consistent coverage, or lip liner definition for structure and symmetry. The right technique depends on your desired healed result, skin type, daily habits, natural lip colour, and whether you want enhancement, coverage, or correction. You have decided you

I can often significantly neutralise grey, ashy, or blue-grey brows with a warm corrector containing orange, peach, or warm beige pigment. The correct choice depends on the existing colour, skin undertone, pigment depth, and desired result. If the skin is saturated with old pigment, saline or laser lightening may need to happen before correction. Your

I explain that eyeliner tattoos fade faster when skin is oily, exposed to UV, or treated with retinol and acids near the lash line. Lower lid work also fades sooner because of moisture and movement. Most eyeliner tattoos last two to five years, while careful aftercare, sunglasses, and the correct consolidation appointment help preserve definition.

I use the consultation to review your medical history, skin, lifestyle, natural brows and desired look before making design decisions. I assess your facial proportions, map a proposed shape, discuss pigment colour, complete a patch test at least 48 hours before treatment, answer your questions, and explain preparation and healing expectations. You’ve done your research,

I explain that lip blush typically lasts between two and five years. Its longevity depends on skin type, sun exposure, lifestyle habits, and follow-up care. Oily skin and significant sun exposure can lead to fading closer to two or three years, while drier skin may retain colour longer. You’ve invested in lip blush and you

I explain that removal is achievable, but it requires patience and a realistic timeline. Laser may take six to ten sessions, while saline suits some newer, lighter pigment. Correction or partial fading may be alternatives to full removal. Protecting the skin, spacing treatments properly and using SPF can all affect the result. You’re looking at

I use a rotary machine to deposit pigment into the upper dermis at a controlled depth, using precise strokes and light layers. I avoid the vermillion border, build colour gradually, and select pigments to complement the client’s natural lip tone. The healed result is softer than immediately after treatment, with a top-up appointment typically at

I find powder brows can be a realistic option for men when the shaping follows masculine proportions and the pigment tone matches their colouring. The treatment fills gaps with fine pigment dots, creating fuller, more defined brows without a makeup look. Existing faded tattoo work can often be corrected or refreshed after individual assessment.
