FAQ

Touch-ups are highly recommended. Due to each individual's uniqueness and the superficial nature of the tattoo itself, touch-ups provide an opportunity to assess how your skin responds to the procedure. Touch-ups provide an opportunity to make any adjustments necessary while also lengthening the longevity of your tattoo. These sessions are not included in the initial price and need to be booked between 3-6 weeks from the time of your first session.

This is a common misconception. Permanent makeup requires infrequent maintenance. Fading your tattoo will happen slowly over time and may get to a point where you are undetectable, but there are no guarantees. To maintain its color, shape, and detail, refresh appointments are needed. The length of time and condition of fading is unique to the individual - variables to consider are lifestyle choices, skin health/integrity, skincare products, age, and techniques/technology within the cosmetic tattoo industry. For most people, their tattoo will last between 1-3 years before booking a refresh.

Previous work can be tricky. Your tattoo's current state and understanding your expectations will help your artist offer advice and help achieve the desired result. All coverups must be pre-approved before booking. Please send a photo in natural light via the contact page on this website. Or schedule a free phone consultation; Nata-sha is always there to help you find the best solution for you.

Ombré Powder is a semi-permanent tattoo; it is a process in which a trained technician uses a handheld machine and pigment to create the appearance of a powder-like finish. In this process, the technician creates tiny superficial dots on the skin's epidermis layer that mimic powder-filled brows. This is done in an Ombré manner, starting light at the front of the brows and goes dark towards the brows' tail for a more dimensional brow finish.

You are only required to bring a photo ID. Some things recommended for your appointment; Headphones, if you would like to listen to music during your procedure. Snacks, in case you feel hungry and want a 5-minute break. Earplugs, if you would like to sleep/rest. Yes, some people fall asleep.) Sweater/Jacket in case you feel cold. The air conditioner in the procedure room must stay on. Foundation/Makeup, in case you want to touch up your makeup for the "after" pictures.

Usually, you need a refreshment procedure every 1.5-2.5 years for the Ombré Powder, Lip Blush, and Lash Line Enhancement. This will depend on many factors such as skin type/ skin routine/ environmental factors..etc.

It depends; most tattoos, yes. Some of the traditional tattoos are more difficult to work with. They are deeply layered versus the softer approach used today. Most of the time, traditional tattoos require tattoo removal and a resting period for the skin before being worked on again. However, you can send us a picture of your eyebrows, and we can tell you what can and cannot be done. In some cases, clients get it completely removed before coming to us, which is also another option available.

Two sessions are highly recommended for new clients who have never done any permanent makeup procedure. The second session is your touch-up session! After that, it depends on how long your skin can retain the tattoo. It can take another 1.5 years to 2.5 years for you to come back for a new appointment.

Microblading and Powder effect are two different techniques in semi-permanent makeup. Microblading: a manual technique that can be rough and traumatic on sensitive skin. Hair-like strokes are applied with needles similar to blades and filled with pigment. Powder brows: a very gentle technique applied with a machine technique using a pin-dot method. It is an absolutely painless procedure and gives the client very natural, very realistic brows.

The good news is: Yes, this can be fixed with permanent makeup! The experienced technician NATA-SHA will help to reshape and enhance your eyebrows; you can get your face looking younger, symmetrical, and more attractive.
