15 FAQs About Cosmetic Tattooing

Everything You Need to Know About Cosmetic Tattooing – 15 FAQs Answered by Experts

Looking for a long-lasting beauty solution that saves you time every morning? Cosmetic tattooing is the answer!

This safe, non-invasive method is becoming a top beauty trend, allowing you to wake up every day with perfectly defined eyebrows or luscious lips — no makeup needed. At VyBrows, our advanced techniques ensure natural results with long-lasting color that won’t fade, turn blue, or look artificial.

Let’s dive into the most common questions clients ask before getting a cosmetic tattoo.

1. What is Cosmetic Tattooing?

Cosmetic tattooing (also known as permanent makeup) is a technique that uses ultra-fine needles to implant pigment into the upper layers of the skin. It’s commonly applied to the eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner area to enhance facial features.

2. Will Tattooing Make Me Look Older?

Absolutely not — unless you choose the wrong technician or outdated technique.

At VyBrows, we use feathering and powder shading methods, creating realistic, soft, and youthful results. Our experts select pigment colors based on your skin tone, hair color, age, and personal style to ensure a look that enhances — not ages — your face.

3. What Are the Most Popular Techniques Today?

The most requested techniques at VyBrows include:

• Hairstroke (Microblading): Ultra-fine hair-like strokes for a natural brow.

• Ombre Shading: Gradient effect for soft, powdered brows.

• Nano Lip Blushing: Soft pigment implantation for natural-looking lips.

4. Does Cosmetic Tattooing Hurt?

It’s mostly painless. We apply a medical-grade numbing cream before the procedure, so most clients only feel mild discomfort or a light scratching sensation.

5. How Long Before the Color Looks Good?

Initial healing takes 5–7 days. The final color stabilizes around 3–4 weeks after treatment.

6. Should I Get a Touch-Up?

Yes. A touch-up is usually recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial session to perfect the color and shape and ensure long-lasting results.

7. Can Darker Skin Tones Get Lip Blush Tattooing?

Yes — but for dark or uneven lips, we recommend a lip neutralization (dark lip correction) treatment first. After this, a second session can apply the desired color evenly.

8. Is Lip Tattooing Safe?

Yes, as long as:

• It’s done by an experienced technician

• Medical-grade pigments are used

• Sterile tools and hygiene protocols are followed
  At VyBrows, your safety is our top priority.

9. What Foods Should I Avoid After a Lip Tattoo?

Avoid:

• Sticky rice, seafood, beef, and spicy foods

• Alcohol, coffee, and smoking

These can interfere with healing and cause color fading or irritation.

10. How Long Does Lip Color Last?

Your new lip color can last 2–3 years, depending on your skin type and aftercare routine.

11. Can I Get a Tattoo While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?

We recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Consult your doctor before scheduling any cosmetic tattoo procedure.

12. Can I Redo My Brows If I’ve Had Them Done Before?

Yes, but we need to assess your previous pigment first. If necessary, we’ll lighten or correct the old color before reapplying the new design.

13. Can I Remove a Bad Brow Tattoo?

Yes. Laser removal is a common solution — but must be done by trained professionals to avoid skin damage or scarring.

14. When Will My Brows Start Peeling?

Peeling typically starts around day 3–5 and completes in 7–10 days. Let the skin flake off naturally — don’t pick or peel it.

15. How Should I Care for My Brows or Lips After Treatment?

• Keep dry for 72 hours

• Apply healing balm regularly

• No makeup on the treated area

• Avoid sun exposure and dust

• Avoid spicy foods, seafood, beef, sticky rice, alcohol, caffeine

• Stay hydrated and eat vitamin-rich foods
