Cosmetic tattooing (also known as semi-permanent makeup or micropigmentation) is the process of implanting pigment into the upper dermal layers of the skin to enhance natural features and create a soft, makeup-inspired effect.

Most guests experience minimal discomfort. Topical numbing agents are used before and during the procedure. Sensation is often described as light scratching or tweezing.

If you have allergies or sensitivities, ingredients can be reviewed prior to your appointment to ensure appropriate numbing options are available.
