FAQ's

Is Cosmetic Tattooing Painful?

Most clients are surprised by how comfortable cosmetic tattooing is. We use a high-quality topical anaesthetic throughout the procedure, and many clients report little to no discomfort during treatment. Pain levels vary between individuals, but we do everything possible to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible.


Is PMU Removal Painful?

Most clients find PMU removal more comfortable than expected. We use a premium topical anaesthetic to help minimise discomfort, and many clients report little to no pain during the procedure. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area being treated and the type of pigment being removed.


How Many Removal Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions required depends on the age of the tattoo, pigment colour, depth, and previous treatments. Some clients see significant improvement after one session, while others may require multiple treatments to achieve their desired result. A consultation will help determine the best treatment plan for you.


Can Old Cosmetic Tattooing Be Removed?

In many cases, yes. We offer advanced non-laser PMU lightening and removal treatments designed to reduce unwanted pigment from brows, eyeliner, and lips. Complete removal cannot always be guaranteed, but significant lightening is often achievable.


Is Cosmetic Tattooing Safe?

Your safety is our priority. We use sterile, single-use equipment wherever possible and follow strict health and hygiene procedures. All disposable items are opened in front of you and safely discarded after your treatment.


How Long Does Cosmetic Tattooing Last?

Cosmetic tattooing typically lasts between 1–3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare products, and the treatment performed. Regular colour refresh appointments can help maintain your results.


What Will My Cosmetic Tattoo Look Like Immediately After Treatment?

Immediately after treatment, the colour will appear darker, brighter, and more defined than the final healed result. As the area heals, the colour will soften and lighten. We recommend waiting at least 6 weeks before assessing the final colour and shape.


Can I Return to Work the Next Day?

Most clients return to work the following day. Mild redness, scabbing or dryness may occur depending on the treatment area, but these effects are usually temporary and manageable.


How Long Does Healing Take?

Initial healing typically takes 4–14 days, depending on the treatment and individual healing response. The tattoo will continue to settle and soften over several weeks, with final healed results visible around 6–8 weeks.

What Is the Difference Between Lightening and Removal?

Can You Remove Eyeliner Tattoos?

How Long Does It Take To Heal After PMU Removal?

Most clients experience mild redness, swelling, and dryness for a few days following treatment. Initial healing typically occurs within 7–14 days, although the skin continues to recover and improve over several weeks.


Can I Have New Cosmetic Tattooing After Removal?

Yes. PMU removal is often performed to create a cleaner canvas before corrective work or new cosmetic tattooing. The timing will depend on your healing and how much pigment remains after treatment.


Why Choose Non-Laser PMU Removal?

Non-laser removal can be an excellent option for certain cosmetic tattoo pigments and areas, particularly when laser treatments may not be suitable. It can be used on brows, eyeliner, and lips and is often chosen by clients looking to lighten or remove unwanted cosmetic tattooing before corrective work.


Am I Suitable for PMU Removal?

Most people are suitable candidates for PMU removal, however a consultation is recommended to assess your existing tattoo, discuss your goals, and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual situation.
