WHAT TO EXPECT

Congratulations on your new permanent makeup! You are looking FABULOUS! We know this is a lot of information to take in and to remember! Some of this may even disrupt areas in your everyday life style, but we cannot express enough how important your Pre/Post Care is. Your tattoos will NOT heal properly if you do/don't do any of the above...which may cause your permanent makeup to not heal properly. Failure to adhere to these pre/post care instructions may result to infections or poorly healed results. This is an investment, so INVEST.

Your tattoo will go through a few stages, don't worry, these stages are normal, and in the end will all be worth it! There will be minor scabbing and flaking (which will vary), since your skin is trying to repair itself, essentially. As your skin heals, you might notice fading. The pigment will show back through shortly once the skin starts to heal, and after your second session, your permanent makeup will be complete!

Everyone is different. Everyone will heal differently. We will do our BEST to meet your expectations, and accommodate as many people as possible. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or message us at (605)-920-1819 (cell)

Thank you for trusting us with your gorgeous face! Below is a fun chart further explaining your full healing process! (Results may vary)
