Powder Brows is another form of cosmetic tattooing done with a machine and either a single or small configuration of needles to implant micro dots of pigment into the skin. These pixels are layered over a few passes to your desired saturation.
Once healed it leaves the effect of a soft shadowing, much like filling in your brows with pencil or powder!
Great for ALL skin types and ages, less traumatic to the skin as opposed to Microblading, can last longer, etc.
Powder Brows is not to be confused with the old school tattooed brows. This is a very soft and natural enhancement. Perfect and gentle enough to work over scar tissue, fill gaps from over plucking, shaping/adding definition or color to your brows.
Powder Brows can last anywhere from 1-3 years depending on many factors including lifestyle, hygiene, health, medication, skin type, and age.
Results can not be guaranteed as everyone’s skin is different.

Nano brows are a machine based technique that creates ultra fine, hair like strokes to enhance the natural brow. Using a single needle or small configuration of needles and machine, this method allows for precise, controlled strokes that mimic real brow hairs while being gentler on the skin than traditional manual techniques like microblading.
Nano brows are ideal for clients who want a soft, natural, fluffy result with added shape and fullness. They’re a great option for most skin types and tend to heal more evenly and softly due to the controlled machine application.
This technique works beautifully for:
• Clients with existing brow hair who want more structure or density
• Those who prefer a natural, hair-stroke look
• Normal to slightly oily skin types
• Anyone wanting subtle enhancement without a “makeup” appearance
Most people are great candidates for nano brows. However, very textured skin, significant scar tissue in the brow area, or certain skin conditions may affect results. A consultation or filling out the “request an appointment” form under the book now tab is always recommended to determine the best technique for your skin.
Results can not be guaranteed as everyone’s skin is different.

Fusion brows (also known as a combination brow) blend nano hair strokes with soft powder shading. This technique combines the realism of hair strokes with the added density of shading for a more defined yet still natural finish.
Fusion brows are perfect for clients who:
• Have sparse areas that need both structure and fullness
• Want a little more definition than strokes alone
• Prefer a balanced, softly polished look
By layering strokes with gentle shading, we can create depth, dimension, and long lasting results tailored specifically to your features and skin type.

Lip Blushing is also done with a machine that implants micro dots of pigment into the skin. Immediate results will look bright, bold, and lipstick like but will heal down to a tint/stain.
Having a wash of color restored to your lips can make them appear fuller, defined, and youthful.
Lip Blush is great for covering those pesky fordyce spots, scars, pale lips, defining borders, & correcting asymmetries- all while staying within the realm of your lips (Vermillion Border.) Lip Blushing is also considered a restorative tattoo. Those with deep scarring from surgeries, Cleft palate repairs, or trauma can benefit from this service.
Swelling may occur but subsides in 1-2 days.
Lips heal very fast in just 5-7 days, however it takes a few weeks for the color to “bloom” back through as your skin heals.
Color is chosen by matching the inner portion of your water line for a seamless blend into the rest of your lips. Lip Stick effect is not obtainable, this is a natural enhancement.
Please refer to the ‘Preparation & Aftercare” tab for additional information.

Cosmetic tattoos are a two-step process. After your initial appointment it is highly recommended to follow up (6-8 weeks) after. This is where we will build and reinforce the pigment into your skin increasing the longevity. This is also the time to asses how your tattoo has healed and make any adjustments necessary to restore color, and/or correct shape.
It is very important to understand results are unique to each client and can not be guaranteed as everyone’s skin is different.
Occasionally a third session may be needed. Each appointment is scheduled and charged individually.
An annual Touch-Up is recommended every 1-3 years to keep the color fresh and defined. Annual touch up pricing applies within 3 years of your last appointment. After 3 years, full session pricing will be required.
-
Redness and slight inflammation in the area is common after the procedure and will subside. Your tattoo may appear bold or darker than anticipated - Don’t worry! This is completely normal and to be expected. As they heal the color will soften and fade. The majority of healing will take place during the first 7-10 days. Total healing time is generally 4 weeks.

Two topical anesthetics are available on-site that can be used before and during to keep you comfortable! Discomfort is minimal if any!
IMPORTANT:
Due to updated Michigan tattooing regulations, the use of topical numbing agents during cosmetic tattoo services is now strictly regulated. At this time, numbing may only be used with a valid doctor’s note and prescription, and this applies to lidocaine products up to 5% only.
If you would like to use numbing during your service, you will need to obtain a prescription from a licensed medical provider, such as your primary care physician or a licensed telehealth provider. A copy of your doctor’s note and prescription must be brought to your appointment, where it will be copied and kept on file in compliance with state regulations.
Product is available on site, you do not need to bring any topicals!
If you choose not to obtain a prescription, Brows and Lip Blush can be safely performed without numbing. Eyeliner services must obtain script for appointment.
