Semi Permanent Makeup
​
Sometimes referred to as micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing, semi permanent makeup is a treatment that can give you a ready-made up look without all the hassle. By injecting tiny amounts of pigment into the dermal layers of your skin, you can save yourself all that mirror time in the morning applying your eyeliner, lip liner or eyebrows.
​
Tattoo make up is not just for women either. We offer a range of treatments which are suitable for men, and can help you disguise failed hair transplant scars and other problems with your scalp with our cutting edge micropigmentation techniques.

Thanks to advances in the tools and techniques for semi permanent tattoo makeup, a new breed of micropigmentation is available for your pleasure.
3D semi permanent makeup is revolutionising the way we apply your eyebrow, eyeliner and lips, and is helping us to achieve an even more natural, beautiful finish to our treatments.
In the past, your eyebrow tattoo would be no more than a colour on your skin.
Although still beautiful, it would become apparent on close inspection that there was actually nothing there but your own skin.
But all that is changing, thanks to the advanced techniques of 3D tattoos.
Our 3D semi permanent tattoo make up gives an incredible third dimension to your permanent eyebrows, helping us to achieve the most realistic look possible and a texture that was previously not possible.
We have found this technique to be particularly effective when dealing with over tweezed or thinning eyebrows, as well as small, thin lips.

NATURAL-LOOKING SEMI PERMANENT MAKE UP IS THE KEY
​
Most people who go for permanent makeup treatments are not looking to replicate the way they look on a big night out. In fact, most of the clients we deal with for permanent eyebrows, permanent lips and lip liner, or permanent eyeliner too, actually plan to carry on using makeup for those special events on top of the permanent makeup.
When we work on tattoo eyebrows or semi-permanent eyeliner, we aren’t looking to recreate the look that person has when they go out for a big night out. We are aiming for a natural, amazing look that will suit them in everyday situation, and which accentuates their natural beauty.

What is Permanent Makeup?
Permanent makeup gives you the look of professionally applied makeup everyday, with natural-looking results that can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want. The effect is achieved by applying hypo-allergenic specialist pigments into the dermal layer of your skin using the finest needle controlled by a machine. The results fade gradually over 2-3 years, with a “colour boost” recommended around 12-18 months after the initial application – to maintain a fresh look.
Why have Permanent Makeup?
Naturally, everyone wants to look their best at all times, this gives you this everyday! Waking up with perfectly shaped brows, defined eyes without having to apply makeup, no smudging either.
Permanent Makeup for Specific Needs?
You may have specific requirements for semi-permanent makeup such as scars, alopecia, chemotherapy, vitiligo, loss of sight or other health related concerns. Semi-permanent makeup is an extremely beneficial and very successful for these types of medical concerns.
Is Permanent Makeup safe?
I use the highest quality sterile needles, which are disposed of immediately after the treatment is completed. I follow a code of practice that ensures a safe treatment. Licensed by Ashford Borough Council and I work only with top quality pigments that meet European medical standards.
Does it hurt?
A little discomfort maybe but not painful. I use anaesthetic before and during the treatment.
How long will it take to recover?
Normally the colour will be darker for the first few days. You may experience light to moderate swelling, . After the initial few days, the skin will heal and will begin to gently flake off and the treated area will lighten. It may be too light for you, so recommend to have top up around 4-6 weeks after to achieve the best results for you.
How long does Permanent makeup last?
It lasts for many years but I recommend having a colour boost around 12 months after the initial treatment allowing you to maintain a fresh look.

I have compiled a list of the questions we get asked the most. If you don’t see the details you are looking for or need more information head over to our contact page to get in touch.
​
1. what is the minimum age
18 is the minimum age for this treatment
​
2. Can I bring a friend?
As long as your friend is over 18, you are welcome to bring someone to hold your hand. No children are allowed in the room due to strict licensing laws, prohibiting any minors.
Please remember this is medical and cosmetic tattooing, not a simple beauty procedure
​
3. I am pregnant can I have this procedure?

I do not tattoo anyone that is pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have your first treatment done, then fall pregnant before we have a chance to carry out your top up, we will not be able to finish your procedure until after the baby is here.
