Cosmetic Tattooing (Skin Art) goes back to biblical times; it has been discovered on the skin of Egyptian mummies dating back as far as 2000 B.C. Primitive implements of the trade used at that time were soot or gunpowder implanted with a bamboo stick or sharpened stone. Dermal pigmentation, commonly known as tattooing, has been present for centuries in our cultures for the purpose of body adornment. Cleopatra’s eyes were permanently tattooed. Did you really think she was a born beauty?

"PERMANENT MAKE-UP" is not make-up as we know make-up to be, (from your local drug store, or other cosmetic companies), "Permanent Make-Up" is a term used to describe facial cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation. Colour pigments are placed just below the dermis of the skin for the purpose of creating lines of definition to enhance facial beauty indefinitely. This service is custom designed for each individual client according to their face shape, skin-tone, eye color and hair color. This technique has been used by plastic surgeons and dermatologist as well as trained Permanent Make-Up Technicians.

Permanent cosmetics personally benefit people with poor vision, arthritis, problems with dexterity, allergies to make-up, watery eyes, or problems with contact lenses or oily skin that causes make-up to smear. Convenience is also a great consideration for busy people example: athletic people who want to look good during sports or exercise. Some people simply do not like to be seen without make-up at any time. One of the most beneficial uses of permanent eye make-up is to recreate the illusion of lost lashes and brows as a result of hair loss induced by chemotherapy, alopecia areata, hereditary balding or over-tweezing. A sudden loss of hair can be very devastating even though wigs are readily available. What about losing your eyebrows and eyelashes?

More and more people are becoming aware of the advantages of permanent cosmetics and how they can enhance and accent their own natural beauty! Permanent make-up will not wash off, or smear and will always look professionally applied. The art of cosmetic tattooing has helped many people achieve their desired beauty. It is no longer just available to the rich and famous, but to anyone who really cares to look their very best! You can correct unshapely eyebrows, define a pair of beautiful eyes, sculpture a pair of voluminous lips and don’t forget a beauty mark to really show off your face!

Is this you? 

Now you can save countless hours shopping for pencils, sharpening pencils and the cost of buying all your pencils, not to mention all the work of shaping your eyebrows, eyeliner and lipliner. Save yourself the embarrassment of having your pencil lines slide down your face halfway through the day.

Eyebrows

Have you tweezed your eyebrows to death, and they never grew back in? Have your eyebrows drooped due to the aging process, or maybe you have a scar in your eyebrow that always has to be penciled in? Cosmetic tattooing can literally give you a mini eye-lift. You will be amazed at the more youthful look you will have. Your Permanent Make-Up technician will help you choose the desired shape and color that will best enhance your face shape. The colour of your eyebrows is usually one shade lighter than your hair color.

Eyeliner

Choose a color that compliments your eyes, and dramatize them: be as beautiful as possible! People always look at your eyes when they are speaking with you. Large eyes with thick lashes are more apt to catch their attention. Permanent eyelining along the eyelashes gives the illusion of thicker lashes and a more beautiful definition of the eyes. Shape, color and thickness of lines are determined by your Permanent Make-Up Technician and you.

Lipliner

Do you have problems with lipstick bleeding, or perhaps your lips are not quite as thick as you would like them to be? Permanent Make-Up is the answer for you! The permanent implanted colour actually builds a ridge to stop lipstick from bleeding. A thick line above your natural lip line will build up thin lips. Drawing a line inside your lip line will diminish excessively large lips to make them appear smaller. You can choose colors ranging from bright red to a soft pink to just a dark skin tone. These issues are discussed in your consultation appointment.

Beauty Marks

Beauty marks are permanently created to accent a beautiful area of the face. Usually placed at the highest point of the cheek-bone, near the eye to attract others to your eyes, or near the mouth to bring their attention to your beautiful lips, beauty marks accentuate your favourite feature. Depending on your skin tone the beauty marks can range from light brown, medium to dark brown, to black. Permanent Beauty marks can be seen on many beautiful women, for example, stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford and Madonna.

Corrective Camouflage

Loss of pigment in the skin, either through accidents, birthmarks, vitiligo or any of a multitude of other skin irregularities and disorders, are problems which may be corrected through pigmentation. Restrictions apply only to people that keloid, are pregnant or have a heart condition.
