STEP 1 Consult and Before pictures
You will have a chat (consultation) with your artist about the look you want and ask any questions you might have. The artist prepares the area to be tattooed by cleaning it thoroughly and we will take some pictures for future references.
STEP 2 Measuring and Mapping
The area to be tattooed is measured, taking into consideration face shape, symmetry, facial features, etc. The outline/shape is drawn on and once you’re happy with it, the procedure starts.
STEP 3 Numbing
The area is covered with topical anesthetic, for approximately 20 minutes. This is a great opportunity to ask questions if any.
STEP 4 Choosing Color
Your artist decides on the pigment according to the skin color and natural features. (The color of the hair is not always relevant to the choice of pigment). In a few cases hair color is taken into consideration.
STEP 5 Tattooing Process
The process is simple: Your artist will deposit pigment into the skin, creating the desirable technique. The tattooing takes around 3 to 4 hours ( please come with plenty of time; this procedure can’t be rushed). It is primarily painless, and in case of any discomfort, another quick layer of numbing cream can be added to the area.
STEP 6: Finalizing and After photos
Your artist will take the after pictures and guide you through the aftercare instructions. Please ask any questions or let the artist know of any concerns. Also, your touch-up appointment will be scheduled at this time, 6 to 8 weeks after your initial session, and it is included in the initial price.
STEP 7 Touch up (perfecting session)
After the healing process is completed, it is necessary to book a touch-up appointment to fill in the gaps where the pigment did not take or heal properly.
