Areola Restoration | $600

Areola restoration is a life changing permanent tattoo experience created for those who have undergone mastectomies, or gender affirming surgery. After hours of training, Melissa is one of the few practitioners in our area specializing in this reconstruction. Your comfort is her top priority.

Scar Camouflage Tattoo | $150+

The art of camouflaging existing scars into the surrounding skin often requires multiple sessions. Sometimes softening of the scar will also occur due to the breakdown of the tissue. Price will depend on the size of the scar.

Stretch Mark Camouflage | $300+

A common misconception is that we use ink to blend in the stretch marks, most often, this is not the case. Using a specific oil and tattoo technique, the skin is forced to reheal itself, therefore blending the stretch marks into the skin. Multiple sessions are often needed for desired results.

Hairstroke Brow | $450

What could affect the results of my tattoo?

  • Oily skin can create a more blurred affect to hairstrokes, and a softer outcome of powder brows

  • Sun exposure will cause faster fading on permanent cosmetics, use sunscreen

  • Iron deficiency may cause the pigments to absorb faster

  • Smoking may cause the pigments to fade faster

What to avoid before your appointment

  • Avoid taking blood thinners 48-72 hours before your appointment, excessive bleeding can cause less retention of the color

  • Avoid alcohol or caffeine the night before and morning of our appointment

  • Do not work out after your appointment

  • Do not use retin-a products two weeks before or after your appointment

  • If you are prone to cold sores, you will need to get medication two weeks before your appointment. Lip tattoo can trigger cold sore outbreak.

You cannot receive cosmetic tattoo if

  • Pregnant

  • Breastfeeding

  • Currently on Accutane

  • On antibiotics or blood thinners

  • Currently undergoing cancer treatment

  • Have psoriasis or rosacea on the area of treatment

What to expect after your appointment

  • All tattoos will appear multiple shades darker prior to healing, for several days after your appointment. This is due to oxidation of color and healing. You may experience some redness around the brows, but that will usually disappear within several hours after your appointment.

  • Some people may have slight swelling, usually eyeliner and lips, typically this will go away within 24-48 hours

  • Your tattoos will begin to flake around day 3 after your appointment. DO NOT PICK THESE FLAKES. Doing so may pull the color out of your tattoo. The tattoo may appear spotty until all of the flakes have fallen off. When the flakes fall off, the tattoo will appear lighter than desired, but the color will continue to “bloom” to the top of the skin over the next few weeks. At week 4, you should be able to see the final result and be able to address what to touch up at your follow up appointment.
