Cosmetic tattoos
Cosmetic tattooing is a form of tattooing that places pigment into the upper layers of the skin using a machine or handheld tool. The pigment is designed to soften and fade naturally over time, creating a subtle, natural-looking result.
In a consultation where we’ll map, measure, and shape your brows or lips based on your natural features and desired result. We’ll also go over pigment options, technique recommendations, healing, and aftercare so you know exactly what to expect.
It’s the perfect service for anyone wanting a little more ease in their everyday routine — wake up and go!Cosmetic tattoo FAQs
Do I need a consultation first?
1
Not always. Fresh Brows and Lip Blush already include a consultation at the beginning of your appointment to go over your goals, shape, pigment, and treatment plan before beginning.
A separate 30-minute Cosmetic Tattoo Consultation is available if you’re unsure which service is right for you, have questions before committing, or simply want to talk through your options first. The $50 consultation fee is applied toward whichever cosmetic tattoo service you choose if you move forward with Bailey.
In consultations you’ll talk through your goals, desired result, shape, color, technique options, existing pigment if applicable, healing, and aftercare.
How far ahead should I book?
2
Bailey can book several weeks or months in advance, so booking ahead is highly encouraged.
Any and all current availability is always accurately reflected when booking through the website.
Do I need to choose my brow technique before booking?
3
No. Bailey may recommend powder brows, nano strokes, or a combination depending on your skin, natural brow hair, existing pigment, and desired result. You’ll go over the best option together during your consultation.
how long does it take to heal /
Will I need a touch-up or refresh?
4
Initial healing typically takes about 7–14 days, with the pigment continuing to soften and settle over the following 6–8 weeks. A touch-up may be recommended depending on how your skin heals and retains pigment.
Fresh Brows and Lip Blush include a touch-up approximately 6–8 weeks after the initial appointment, if needed.
A refresh is a maintenance appointment done much later, once your cosmetic tattoo has naturally faded. These are only available for people who got their initial cosmetic tattoo with Bailey.
