Frequently Asked Questions
-
Semi-permanent makeup (PMU) is a form of cosmetic tattooing designed to enhance your natural features with long-lasting yet non-permanent results. Unlike traditional body tattoos, the pigment is implanted more superficially into the skin, meaning it gradually fades over time.
This also means the treatment is generally less uncomfortable than a traditional tattoo. Most clients enjoy their results for around 12-18 months, although longevity varies depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and aftercare.

Your treatment price includes everything you need to achieve the best possible result:
A thorough consultation, either by phone, FaceTime, or in person
Your bespoke treatment appointment
A follow-up colour boost session approximately 4–6 weeks later
Full aftercare advice and ongoing support throughout the healing process
The colour boost appointment is an important part of the treatment, allowing any areas that heal lighter than expected to be perfected and ensuring beautiful, long-lasting results.

As with any form of tattooing, some level of discomfort can be expected. However, most clients are surprised by how manageable the treatment feels.
A professional-grade numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort, and many clients describe the sensation as mild scratching or light pressure rather than pain.
If you ask anyone who has had the treatment, they'll likely tell you that any temporary discomfort is more than worth it for the confidence-boosting, long-lasting results.

Results typically last between 12 and 18 months, depending on factors such as your skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, and sun exposure.
To keep your results looking fresh and defined, an annual colour refresh is recommended. Even after fading, many clients still retain a subtle enhancement for some time afterwards.

In addition to cosmetic tattooing, I am also trained in medical tattooing, including areola restoration and scar camouflage.
With the growing popularity of PMU, choosing a highly trained, experienced, and reputable practitioner is more important than ever. My extensive tattooing background, specialist PMU training, and commitment to natural-looking results allow you to feel confident that you're in safe and experienced hands.

Absolutely.
As a passionate animal lover myself, ensuring my treatments align with my values is incredibly important. All pigments and products used during your treatment are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, and I make conscious choices wherever possible to minimise my environmental impact.
You can enjoy your treatment knowing that beautiful results never come at the expense of animal welfare.
