FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a make-up tattoo (PMU) and a traditional tattoo?
In a make-up tattoo, the pigment is only applied to the top layer of the skin, whereas a traditional tattoo goes much deeper. The goal is not a lifelong pattern, but a natural, subtle fading effect that can be adjusted and refreshed over time.
How long does a make-up tattoo take?
On average, you can expect a 2.5-3 hour treatment. This includes consultation, planning, anaesthesia and the tattoo itself. The correction session is shorter than this.
Does make-up tattooing hurt? How much pain do I feel?
An anaesthetic is used continuously during the treatment, so most people will only feel mild discomfort. It is more like a tight, scratching sensation, not a sharp pain.
Is this procedure safe? What are the risks?
Under proper hygienic conditions and with quality equipment, make-up tattooing is completely safe. Risks such as allergic reaction or inadequate healing can be minimised with prior consultation and aftercare instructions.
To what extent does it fade over time?
The pigments fade gradually and evenly. This is a natural process that allows the tattoo to be adjusted and updated over time.
What factors affect durability?
Skin type (e.g. oily skin fades more quickly), sun protection, lifestyle, aftercare and the skincare products used (acids, retinol) all affect pigment durability.
When is an update necessary?
The first correction is due between 6-10 weeks, this is part of the treatment. Subsequent touch-ups are usually recommended every 1.5 to 2 years to maintain the natural colour and shape.
What is eyebrow styling and what does it involve?
Eyebrow styling is a complex service that includes design, colouring and lamination of the eyebrow fibres. The aim is to achieve a naturally neat, groomed and harmonious effect that enhances the character of the face.
How long does eyebrow lamination take?
The effects of lamination usually last 4-6 weeks, varying from person to person. Durability is also greatly affected by skin type, hair texture and home care.
How do I care for my eyebrows at home after eyebrow lamination?
Avoid contact with water, sauna and make-up for 24 hours after treatment. Afterwards, it is recommended to comb the strands occasionally and apply a moisturising oil.
How does eyebrow styling differ from traditional shaping?
Styling is a complex service: it includes not only shaping, but also lamination, colouring and precise alignment - all tailored to the proportions and character of the face.
Painful eyebrow lamination
No, the treatment is completely painless, and many guests find it relaxing.
How often should eyebrow lamination be repeated?
Eyebrow lamination can be repeated every month or up to every 6 weeks to allow the hairs to regenerate properly between treatments. With regular care and attention to skin type, a neat and tidy appearance can be maintained over the long term.
How is the colour and shape chosen?
For each guest we do a personalised design. The shape is tailored to facial character, bone structure and symmetry, and the colour is chosen based on skin tone, hair colour and individual preference.
What preparations should be made before getting a tattoo?
Avoid sunbathing, sunbeds, alcohol and blood-thinning products. Do not use exfoliating or acidic products 5 days before the treatment. Arrive with no make-up and a clear complexion. I will send the exact preparation instructions to all my guests in advance.
How does the recovery work? What can I experience?
The colour may be darker in the first few days, followed by subtle peeling and fading. The final result takes about 4-6 weeks. Then comes the correction session.
Can I use make-up after a make-up tattoo?
No make-up is recommended for the area for two weeks. The other areas can of course be made up, but hygiene and disinfection are important.
When can I play sports, swim, sunbathe after treatment?
Within 2 weeks, avoid anything that involves excessive sweating, immersion in water or UV radiation (sports, sauna, swimming pool, sunbathing). This will help the pigment to absorb properly.
Are there any exclusion factors (illness, sensitivity, pregnancy, etc.)?
Yes, for example, pregnancy, breastfeeding, cheloid predisposition, active dermatitis, taking certain medications and autoimmune diseases may be exclusion factors. We will discuss everything in advance.
If I have a previous tattoo, can I work on it?
It is possible, but it depends on the condition of the previous work - dark, blurred or badly coloured tattoos may require removal (laser) first, or a special corrective technique. A prior consultation is required.
If I don't like the result, can it be corrected or removed?
Yes, you can change the colour, shape or intensity of the correction. For more serious problems, there are also removal options (e.g. laser), but my aim is always to make sure you leave satisfied the first time.
What pigments do you use? And are they safe?
I use Rosa's premium pigments, which are REACH compliant, vegan and safe. They contain no heavy metals and fade evenly over the years.
What guarantee or warranty is there?
The treatment includes a correction session, which should be taken within 1-3 months. The final shape and colour will also depend on your skin's reaction. My goal is to always achieve the best results together.
What prices can I expect?
Depending on the technique and the existence of any previous tattoos, prices may vary. The price of eyebrow tattooing includes aftercare and a correction session. For more information on current prices, please see [Prices].
How can I book an appointment?
You can book an appointment easily via my website, but I'm also happy to help you by message.
