If you’re thinking about getting permanent makeup (PMU) for the first time, it’s natural to feel a little nervous. At Ink n Beauty, our goal is to make your experience relaxing, empowering, and—most importantly—customized to you. Here’s exactly what you can expect from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out with a new boost of confidence.

1. A Thoughtful Consultation

We begin every appointment with a thorough consultation. This is where we talk about your beauty goals, assess your skin type, and walk you through the procedure options (brows, lips, eyeliner, etc.). We’ll also discuss your ideal shape, tone, and style so everything is tailored to your preferences.

💬 Bring reference photos and questions—we’re here to listen and guide you.

2. Custom Mapping and Design

Before any pigment touches your skin, we’ll map out your brows, lips, or liner using professional tools. This design process ensures symmetry, proportion, and satisfaction before moving forward.

📐 You’ll approve the shape before we begin.

3. Numbing for Comfort

We apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the procedure as slightly irritating but very tolerable. Our priority is keeping you comfortable throughout.

😌 You might feel light pressure or a scratching sensation, but nothing intense.

4. The Pigment Application

Using precision tools and safe pigments, we carefully implant the color into your skin layer by layer. This step can take anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the area and technique.

🎨 Expect close attention to detail—we’re perfectionists.

5. Aftercare Guidance

Once you’re finished, we’ll go over healing instructions, what to expect in the coming days, and provide you with an aftercare kit. Healing typically takes 7–14 days, with a perfecting touch-up around the 6–8 week mark.

📋 Proper aftercare = better results.
