Results
Semi-permanent makeup is an ART AND a science. Results are extremely dependent on how one heals and will vary with each individual client. Semi-permanent makeup is a 2-step process. While come clients can achieve desired results in one session others cannot. Skin varies from client to client so two sessions are needed to reach desired results. This is a buildable service, the first session is mainly to lay the foundation and see how the skin takes to pigment. Successful results and specific color requests are not guaranteed (especially on those with problematic skin and/or cover up an old tattoo) and additional sessions, at a minimum charge, may be required to obtain desired results. Although I use premium products and provide quality services, every client heals differently and many factors can lead to varied results. I do not guarantee perfect proportions or symmetry as some bone structures and muscle movements do not call for it. The final shape is completely your decision, and tattooing will not start until you decide on the final shape. All services provided are non-refundable.
