 FAQ Cosmetic tattooing differs to traditional decorative form of tattooing in many ways both from uses and procedure. Some of the differences are cosmetic tattooing doesn't penetrate to the same depth as traditional tattooing and the pigment is specially developed to merge with the natural colors of the skin, unlike traditional tattooing which is designed to stand out on the skin. How long does it last? The treatment usually lasts from 2 to 5 years. Each person is different and it will depend on skin metabolism, pigment colour and other lifestyle factors, such as exposure to sun, chlorine and salt water. Over time, the colour will fade but retouches can be applied. This will give you the flexibility to either enhance your original choice of colour or to choose new colour. We recommend the use of a high SPF sun block to prevent fading. How long does the procedure take? We start off with an initial free consultation where we discuss the colour and shape and conduct a trial. The procedure takes between 1 & 1& 1/2 hours. All cosmetic tattooes are done in 2 sessions and your second perfecting session will be held in 5-6 weeks to adjust shape, colour etc. The cost is inclusive from your first session. Will it hurt? We use a strong topical anesthetic to minimise discomfort. What is involved in recovery? You will be supplied with an After Care Guide during your consultation. The colour will appear 20-30% darker after initial procedure. You can normally resume your daily activities straight after your treatment. Who will benefit?
