Is Permanent Makeup Right For You?
waco microblading
We have always been transparent;
permanent makeup is not for everyone!
Our style of tattooing is to enhance your natural beauty.
We do not offer crazy shapes, unnatural colors, or any style that will not age well. We do not want anyone regretting their decision 10-20 years down the road. Our reputation as a leading permanent makeup studio is incredibly important to us!
​
Please read the following contraindications below to see if you're a candidate!
{contraindication: something (such as a symptom or condition) that
makes a particular treatment or procedure inadvisable)
Lifestyle Contraidications
TANNING:
Clients who tan in tanning beds will have tougher skin to implant pigment and a huge risk of pigment turning grey.
Aside from the damaging effects of UV rays causing possible skin cancer and premature aging, Tanning will also cause your pigment to ash out and fade.
​
Exercise:
Clients who are avid fitness buffs working out 4-5 times a week will experience faster fading.
Please note: You can NOT workout 5 days after your tattoo procedure!!
Skincare Contraidications
Clients must stop using Retinol, Accutane, and lash growth serums for 12 months prior to the procedures. These products can cause major damage to the skin if they are tattooed over.
​
Additionally, after the procedure, clients who use products with glycolic acid, salicylic acid, AHA, lactic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, etc must be aware their work will fade considerably faster than someone not using them.

Skintype
Contraindications
Clients with super oily skin and/or large visible pores will have faster fading due to the nature of excessive sebum production.
​
We will likely have to pack color in the initial appointment as color tends to fade much quicker than dry/normal skin types.
​
Annual touchups will also be required MUCH sooner than other skin types.
​
Microblading is not the best technique for oily skin types.
