Your questions, answered — everything you need to know about PMU + fine line tattoos.
-
Permanent makeup is a form of cosmetic tattooing that enhances natural features like brows, lips, and eyes. We use advanced techniques and machines to implant pigment into the skin for soft, natural-looking results.
-
Results typically last 1–3 years depending on the procedure, skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Annual or biennial touch-ups are recommended to keep your look fresh.
-
Discomfort is minimal. We use high-quality numbing agents to keep you as comfortable as possible during your procedure. Most clients describe the sensation as light scratching or pressure.
-
Microblading uses a manual blade to create hair-like strokes, best for normal/dry skin.
Nano brows are created with a machine and ultra-fine needles, offering softer, more natural strokes with better retention (great for all skin types).
Airy powder brows give a soft, shaded look similar to makeup, customizable from natural to bold.
-
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, blood-thinning medications, tanning, and retinol for 24–48 hours before your session. Arrive with clean skin and bring inspiration photos if you’d like.
-
Brows, lips, or liner will appear darker or more intense at first. Over the next 7–14 days, they’ll flake or peel, then soften into their healed color. Full healing takes about 4–6 weeks.
-
You’ll want to avoid makeup on the treated area until it’s fully healed (about 7–10 days). You can wear makeup elsewhere as usual.
-
PMU may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, on certain medications, or with specific medical conditions. A consultation is always recommended.
