Will My Cosmetic Tattooing Treatment Hurt?

Many of our clients hear the word 'tattoo' and assume that their treatment will feel the same as a traditional body tattoo. Cosmetic tattooing is a specialised treatment; pigments are placed into the skin at a shallower depth compared to traditional body tattooing. As well as being a superficial application, cosmetic tattooing uses very fine needles and a gentle technique.

To ensure our clients are as comfortable as possible, we apply a topical numbing gel to the treated area. Once this has been applied, most clients won't feel much and some even fall asleep!

Here are a few tips for being as comfortable as possible during your treatment:

• Ensure you have eaten, are well hydrated and rested before your appointment.

• Follow your treatment pre-care, this means no caffeine the morning of your appointment and no alcohol the night before!

• Arrive to your treatment wearing comfortable clothing!
