It is very important that you disclose all medical conditions and allergies on your intake form to ensure your safety and so we know any of any modifications we may make to provide the best results.

All paramedical procedures (3D areola restoration, scar camouflage, and stretch mark camouflage) vary by case. Areola restorative tattoos usually take 1-2 appointments (more if there are other scars being camouflaged at the same time). Scar camouflage varies due to many factors. Ink-less treatments also vary, but results are usually seen after 3 appointments. Fine Line tattoos usually take 1 appointment, but If it is a larger piece with shading or coloring, it can take more.
