Also known as PMU - Is a procedure that introduces non-toxic pigments into the skin with a tattoo machine or using tap manual tools. Ranging services from lips, eyes or brows all include a vigorous selection of color, shape and client goals.
It absolutely is! I do work very light with the motto in mind “It’s easier to add than it is to take away”. Over TIME(a lot of time), it can fade and look quite sheer but it is STILL pigment implemented into the skin so certain aftercare and maintenance is required if you want LONGEVITY of pigment before your next touch up.
It can last up to years! The secret is in finding what service best suits your skin type, and being consistent with your aftercare and maintenance. All of this we go through during the procedure.
Minimal numbing is used throughout all PMU services to keep the experience as comfortable possible. I do work very light handed and have been told by sensitive clients that they didn’t feel a thing!
Upon booking you will receive Pre-care instructions via email. It is important to schedule yourself accordingly to other cosmetic procedures as there are many you need to space out at least 1-2 week prior any PMU procedure.
My after care is specially formulated to your skin type! Upon completion of the procedure you will receive your exact after-care instructions and formula.
Try stains and tints if it is your first time receiving any PMU service. It can be key on you deciding what color and shape you think best suits you.

I want to simplify procedures for PreCare and Aftercare as much as possible, yet put emphasis on how important these steps are.
Your RETENTION in #pmu will optimize in appearance and longevity! Trust me on this one!
These are my essentials for the FULL FACE that have worked the BEST for me.
I made this post for clients and beginner artists to save - Follow these steps:
- STOP the use of any harsh skincare ingredients like heavy exfoliants, acids, etc..…keep in mind there is certain Rx skincare, and that must be stopped months in advance!
- GENTLY, and I mean gently, exfoliate the area to be treated a few days in advance with a washcloth or mascara wand. If you’re doing lips, I’d suggest a very light sugar scrub, which does the trick again very lightly!!!! I will gladly do it for you if need be
- Avoid blood thinners, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDs, which technically aren’t blood thinners but do increase the risk of bleeding, which we don’t want Vitamin E supplements are also natural blood thinners; however, I can not tell you to stop taking them unless your doctor does. CAFFEINE isn’t the absolute end of the world, but if you get too irritated and oozy, I will, unfortunately, have to reschedule
- Moisturize, of course! I recommend heavy sloughing of creams at night for nice smooth skin to work on
- Absorb oozing or lymph fluids as we don’t want an over accumulation left on the skin the first 24 hours. I usually recommend a damp, soft, absorbent tissue. Nothing too abrasive.
- Cleanse the area 2-3X a day the first week based off your specific skin type’s needs. I provide my own aftercare cleanser with the best balanced ingredients your skin deserves
-Moisturize the area with specific ingredients I also offer in my aftercare. This should also be based off the client’s skin type!
