Frequently Asked Questions

~ Your questions, answered with honesty and care.


 What is paramedical tattooing?


Paramedical tattooing is a specialized form of tattooing used to restore or blend skin affected by scars, surgery, stretch marks, or medical conditions.  It includes treatments like scar camouflage, areola restoration, stretchmark rejuvenation, and skin tone correction.


 Does it hurt?


Most clients report little to no discomfort (on a scale of 1-10, most clients report it at a 2 or 3).  A professional-grade topical numbing cream is used during your cosmetic tattooing sessions to keep you comfortable.


 How many sessions will I need?


This depends on the area being treated. For powder brows and lip blushing, you'll have 2 sessions: your initial session and your touch-up session.  Most procedures require multiple sessions for full results.  You'll receive a personalized plan during your consultation.


 What's included in each session?


Each session includes:

  • Red or green light therapy (cosmetic tattooing only)
  • Topical numbing (cosmetic tattooing only)
  • Customized pigment selection for brows, lips, or camouflage and skin tone correction
  • After care instructions and products


 Do you work on all skin tones?


Yes!  We work with all skin tones and textures.  Pigments are custom-blended to match your natural undertones for seamless, natural-looking results.


 Can everyone receive these treatments?


Certain skin types and conditions may not be eligible for treatment, including:

  • Active of recent keloid formation
  • Clients undergoing chemotherapy (must be 1 year post-treatment)
  • Clients currently taking antibiotics (must be 2 weeks post-treatment)
  • Clients using Accutane products (must be 6 months post-treatment)
  • Areas with birthmarks or moles (these cannot be tattooed)
  • Unmanaged hypertension, diabetes, or thyroid issues.


 I have vitligo. Can you help?


Possibly.  Vitiligo must be in remission for at least 5-7 years and requires a patch test first.  If the pigment shows 15-20% retention, we can safely move forward.


 What might affect my results?


Several factors can influence your results, including:

  • Medications (especially for thyroid, diabetes, or high blood pressure)
  • Autoimmune conditions or a history of cancer treatments
  • Smoking, sun exposure, and skin type
  • Age


We'll discuss any relevant conditions during your consultation to make sure you're a good candidate.


 Do you offer financing?


Yes! I partner with Cherry Pay, which allows you to split your total into monthly payments.  There's no hard credit check, and the approval process takes just seconds.


 What is your cancellation or no-show policy?


A $25 non-refundable booking fee is require to secure your appointment.  This fee is applied to your total.  If you no-show or cancel with less than 24 hours' notice, the fee is forfeited.


 What's the healing process like?


You may experience mild redness, swelling, flaking, darkening of the treated area, or dryness during healing.  Following your personalized aftercare instructions is key to achieving the best outcome.


 Are your results guaranteed?


Every person's skin is unique, and so is their healing process.  While we use the highest quality tools, pigments, and techniques, results can vary based on many factors -- including skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, and overall health.  Because tattooing is both an art and a science, results cannot be guaranteed.  I'll always do my best to set realistic expectations and support you through the process, but final outcomes will vary from person to person.
