​

ALL FIRST TIME SEMI-PERMANENT COSMETIC PROCEDURES ARE MULTI-SESSION PROCESSES. An initial application is incomplete until after a follow-up appointment, which must be scheduled approximately 4-6 weeks after initial appointment. WHILE YOUR SKIN HEALS, BE PREPARED FOR THE AREA TATTOOED TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER, SHARPER, BRIGHTER, OR DARKER THAN WHAT IS EXPECTED FOR THE FINAL OUTCOME. This is a normal and expected result of the application and healing process. The healing process will take a number of days to complete, depending on how quickly the outer layer of your skin exfoliates and new skin regrows to take its place.
