Information on the World of Cosmetic Tattoo
How Can a Cosmetic Tattoo Enhance My Appearance?
Cosmetic tattoo will save you time and frustration, you look good 24 hours a day and you don't need much make-up any more. You can swim, sleep, perspire, have a sauna, play sport, wash your hair, eat and still look GREAT! It won't wash off and lasts for years. All the treatments are performed in hygienic conditions. The finest quality equipment is used and needles are individually packed in sterile blister packs and disposed of in a 'sharps' container. Each client has a new needle, new machine attachment and new product. There is no chance of cross infection.
What Are the Pigment Lotions?
The pigment used is based on Iron Oxide, a safe non-reactive substance. The pigment lotions are specifically manufactured for implantation into human skin. Pigment lotions are inorganic, excepting most of the lip colours which are organic. A powder is suspended in a solution of distilled water and glycerine which results in a smooth creamy liquid. There are 45 base colours to choose from and mixing colours can create more colours.
What Does It Look Like on the Skin?
It looks as if you applied a pencil a little softer and more muted. The colour immediately after the treatment will be stronger and darker for the first 7 days. You can lose approximately 20-40% of complete colour during the healing process within 4-14 days, excepting lip colour which can fade by up to 80% during healing.

Does Cosmetic Tattooing Hurt?
For some clients, it hurts a little but the result far outweighs the discomfort. Everyone has a different level of tolerance for pain. Some feel it more than others. Some clients take pain-relieving tablets prior to the procedure. The new topical anaesthetics keep pain at bay during the treatment.
How Will I Look Immediately After The Treatment?
With the new tattoo machine there is very little, if any, swelling or bleeding. Tthe procedure is so benign that many women go back to work immediately.
Is There Any Other Important Things I Should Know?
Many factors can affect the ultimate colour of the pigment in the skin - acid, oils in your skin, the pigment itself, neglecting to follow the home care Instructions.
If you have a history of cold sores, fever blisters or any other type of sore on the lips, you are likely to experience a recurrence of those conditions after lip treatments. The virus always lies dormant in the skin and trauma or stress can activate it. We recommend a course of anti-viral cold sore treatment (such as Lysine or Zovirax tablets purchased from a pharmacy or health food store) for at least one week prior to any lip procedure and one week following the procedure.
