Questions
FAQ
What happens during a consultation?
We review your goals, skin condition, treatment and healing history, and any previous tattoo work. We discuss expectations, timing, and which artist is best suited for your procedure. Consultation fees are applied toward your completed procedure or treatment session.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the service. Breast and areola restoration is typically 2 sessions spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart. Scar camouflage takes 2 to 5 sessions spaced 8 to 16 weeks apart. Ink-less skin retexturing takes 2 to 8 sessions spaced 8 to 16 weeks apart. Scalp micropigmentation takes 2 to 5 sessions about 4 weeks apart. Permanent makeup is usually 1 to 2 sessions.
Why are sessions spaced so far apart?
Pigment and collagen both continue to change for weeks after a session. Waiting for the skin to fully settle lets us see the true healed result before refining it, which is what keeps the work looking natural rather than overworked.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies with sun exposure, skin type, immune response, aftercare, and how deeply pigment was placed. Scalp micropigmentation is usually refreshed every few years, and permanent makeup every one to three years. Restorative camouflage work is long-lasting but softens gradually over time.
How soon after surgery can I be tattooed?
For breast and areola restoration we ask that you be at least 3 months post-operative with fully closed, settled incisions. Scars elsewhere on the body are generally treated once they are fully matured, flat, and no longer changing color.
What is ink-less restoration?
Ink-less restoration uses no pigment at all. Fine micro-channels stimulate collagen and elastin so your body remodels the scar itself — relaxing tight burn tissue and softening stretch marks. It carries no color-matching risk, which makes it a strong first step before any camouflage color.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book a consultation through our Vagaro booking page, or text our specialist line at 877-398-8177 for personal guidance.
How should I prepare for my procedure?
Preparation depends on the treatment. Most clients should avoid alcohol, blood thinners, and sun exposure beforehand. Detailed instructions are shared after booking.
What is the healing process like?
Healing varies by procedure. Most treatments involve a few days of surface healing and a few weeks of color settling. We provide aftercare instructions tailored to your service.
