FAQs
Are cosmetic tattoos the same as traditional tattoos?
No. For 2 main reasons!
Cosmetic tattoo pigments are made of smaller pigment molecules allowing more of a natural, softer color. Cosmetic tattooing implants pigment into the upper dermis layer unlike traditional tattoos
which go much deeper into the skin.
Do cosmetic tattoos hurt?
A topical anesthetic is applied throughout the service to provide the most comfort possible. Everyone has different pain levels meaning a minimal amount of discomfort may occur.
