Permanent Make UP FAQs
-
1-3 (sometimes up to 5) years, and generally require annual or bi-annual touch ups to maintain color.
-
I usually ask people to give yourself 3-3.5 hours to ensure you’re not in a rush and we can take our time mapping out the area, discussing your options, and in case you have excess bleeding. Most appointments are done in 2 hours.

Cosmetic tattooing does not go as deep in the skin as a regular tattoo. Mosts clients would describe it as a gentle scratching feeling, but topical numbing cream is available to ease any minor discomfort.

Aishah is certified in microblading, but recommends Nano Brows over microblading. When we get a cut in our skin, scar tissue forms. Microblading creates a build up of scar tissue, and the healing process is much more unpredictable than using a tattoo machine. If you have had microblading previously, you can still get Nano Brows. In fact, the tattoo machine acts similar to microneedling and helps collagen production break down the scar tissue created by microblading.

Out of an abundance of caution, wait until you are no longer pregnant OR breastfeeding before booking your permanent make up procedure.

Because micropigmentation ink is implanted into the skin superficially in comparison to regular tattoos, during the healing phase there can be some areas that need a little bit more pigment added to them. For that reason, touch ups can be performed after the healing phase (6 weeks) at $100.
Annual or semi annual touch ups are $300.
