Touch-up appointments are an essential part of the Permanent Makeup (PMU) process and are required to achieve the best healed results.
Initial Touch-Up
Your first touch-up appointment should be scheduled 6–10 weeks after your initial PMU session. This appointment allows for:
Proper pigment layering and color retention
Adjustments to shape, symmetry, or color if needed
Enhancing overall longevity and healed appearance
If your touch-up is rescheduled or booked beyond 10 weeks, it will be considered a 12–24 month touch-up and will be priced at $350.
Cover-up or correction work may require additional touch-ups to achieve the desired color and saturation, as these procedures often involve layering over previous pigment.
Annual / Maintenance Touch-Ups
To maintain your results, annual touch-ups are recommended every 12–24 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and pigment retention.
If your brows or lips have faded more than 70–90%, the session will be considered a new initial appointment, as we’ll be starting over rather than layering on existing pigment.
Touch-ups performed after 24 months will also be priced as a new initial session.

Guests During Appointments Policy
To ensure a calm, comfortable, and professional environment, only one guest is allowed in the treatment room during your appointment. The studio is a small space with limited seating, and there is only one extra chair available inside the room. Additional guests are welcome to wait just outside, where two chairs are provided. If you are booking back-to-back appointments with friends or family, please note that only one extra person is allowed in the room at a time, and all other guests must wait outside until it is their turn. Having multiple people in the room is unnecessary and can be disruptive to the service. Your cooperation with this policy is greatly appreciated and helps maintain the best experience for everyone.
Children Policy
To ensure the best experience, children are not permitted in the studio during appointments. PMU and tattoo services require precision, focus, and a sterile environment. The studio is not child-safe, and having little ones present can create distractions or potential safety risks. If you’d like to bring someone who can watch your child, that is completely acceptable — they may wait outside the studio, where seating is available, until your appointment is finished. Please make the necessary childcare arrangements prior to your appointment so you can fully relax and enjoy your service. Clients who arrive with children will be asked to reschedule, and a new deposit will be required in accordance with the studio’s cancellation policy.
Thank you for understanding and respecting this policy — it allows me to maintain a calm, professional, and safe atmosphere for everyone.

However, design changes are not permitted within 72 hours of your scheduled appointment. Each design is carefully pre-drawn in advance while I continue taking other clients, which leaves limited time for last-minute adjustments.You’re always welcome to change your mind, but doing so within 72 hours of your appointment will require booking a new session on another day to allow adequate time to prepare your new design. In this case, your original deposit will be forfeited, and a new deposit will be required to secure the new appointment.
Minor design adjustments or small alterations are acceptable and can be made once your design has been emailed to you for review or discussed in person during your appointment.

Proper preparation is essential to ensure the best results and smooth healing for your fine line tattoo. Please follow these guidelines before your appointment:
1. Skin Preparation
Arrive with clean, hydrated skin — avoid self-tanner, heavy lotions, or body oils on the tattoo area.
Do not shave or exfoliate the area on the day of your appointment (minor irritation can make the skin more sensitive).
If needed, gently shave the area 24 hours before your session.
2. Health & Safety
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (such as Advil, Aspirin, or ibuprofen) 24 hours prior to your appointment. These can cause excess bleeding and affect ink retention.
Please eat a full meal before your appointment and stay hydrated. Low blood sugar can lead to dizziness or discomfort during the session.
If you are feeling sick or unwell, please reschedule your appointment — your health and safety come first.
3. Lifestyle & Skincare
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 48 hours before your session.
Do not apply retinols, acids, or exfoliating products on or near the area for at least 1 week prior to your appointment.
4. What to Bring & Expect
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed.
Feel free to bring headphones or something to help you relax — fine line tattoos require focus and precision.
Please arrive on time. Clients more than 15 minutes late may need to reschedule, and a new deposit will be required in accordance with studio policy.

Touch-ups can be scheduled 6–10 weeks after your initial appointment to refine linework, even out pigment, or enhance definition.
Touch-ups are $35 and cover small refinements to your original design.
If your tattoo has faded more than 70–90%, it will be considered a new tattoo session rather than a touch-up.
Please note: Finger and hand tattoos are more exposed to friction, water, and sunlight, which can cause faster fading — these areas may require multiple future touch-ups to maintain their appearance.
