Permanent cosmetics is a process of depositing color pigment into the skin to enhance your natural beauty. I use the gentle, SofTap™ hand method which renders little to no pain or discomfort at all.
This method is safe and sanitary, and gives a beautiful, natural look. You will love the results -- all of my clients do! Just ask them; photos and references are available upon request.


What is permament cosmetics?
Permanent cosmetics, a.k.a. micropigmentation or intradermal implantation, is the process of implanting microinsertions of color pigment into the dermal layer of skin. This process is a form of tattooing used for the purpose of permanent cosmetic make-up and camouflaging skin imperfections.

The earliest evidence of tattooing dates back to the Ice Age. Egyptian mummies, some as old as 4,000 years, display tattoos on women. Throughout history and across many countries, tattooed bodily adornment has been quite prevalent. And these were all done by the hand method! You can see that the gentle hand method has proven itself to be long lasting, naturally enhancing, very effective and popular.

Is it painful?
No. Topical anesthetic is used so you feel little or no discomfort. By comparison, tweezing your eyebrows is much more painful!

Is it expensive?
No. Compared to the cost of cosmetics and the time taken for application, permanent cosmetics provides huge savings!

Is it safe?
Yes. The utmost sanitary conditions and procedures are adhered to at all times. All implements, tools and supplies are sanitized and disposable.

How long does it last?
Although considered "permanent", you may need a retouch or color boost in about 3 to 5 years.

How much time does an appointment require?
About 1-1/2 hours, including a personalized color and shaping consultation followed by the application procedure.
