GOOD TO KNOW

LIPS - COLD SORES

LIPS - COLD SORES

LIPS - COLD SORES

Cold sores are a risk of lip blush tattoo. Anyone who has had a cold sore is advised  to speak with your physician for an anti-viral medication prior to  lip tattooing, to help avoid an outbreak.  This is an immune response and can cause someone who unknowingly has the virus dormant to become active.

If you have an outbreak after your lip blushing please contact your health care provider. It may or may not affect healed results, but typically if left to run its course and/or treated the tattoo typically is not affected negatively.  

Medications

LIPS - COLD SORES

LIPS - COLD SORES

Blood thinners, Cholesterol, Blood Pressure and Thyroid medications may affect healing and retention. 

Chemotherapy may affect retention. 

Restasis may increase sensitivity and affect retention. 

Diabetic patients - You may have a prolonged healing, that may lead to a higher risk of infection.

Steroids and Antibiotics - should be completed 2 weeks prior to tattoo, they may affect retention

Accutane users  - must wait a minimum of 12 months after discontinued use before getting tattoos.

Please consult with you physician.

RESULTS

LIPS - COLD SORES

Caffeine and alcohol

Results are not guaranteed.


Client’s skin type, lifestyle and other factors vary in the retention and longevity of the services rendered. Certain medications can alter color over time and cause premature fading. Those with previous scaring in the procedure area and those with sensitive or problematic skin may experience less retention. 

Caffeine and alcohol

Caffeine and alcohol

Caffeine and alcohol

Please refrain from alcohol use for 24 hours prior to appointment. 

Avoid Caffeine the day of appointment. 


These are stimulants that both increase blood flow and may cause you to bleed more. In addition they may make you less comfortable during the appointment. 

PMU COLOR Boosts

Caffeine and alcohol

PMU COLOR Boosts

In 6-12 weeks a second session may be needed to perfect the permanent makeup. Permanent makeup is more superficial which may lead to uneven patches and lighter than expected color results. Since this is your face, I always work more modestly in the beginning, leaving room to add in more. Some work will always require a minimum of two sessions, to ensure we are not overworking the skin and causing unwanted results such as blending and migration.  

Tattoo Touch ups

Caffeine and alcohol

PMU COLOR Boosts

Body Tattoos may need a touch up.

I offer a free touch up within 6 months, After those 6 months a tray fee is charged. Fine line tattoos are meant to be think and they can be fickle. The body may push lines out resulting in the need of a touch up over time. Sun is the biggest fade factor for tattoos, but also immune responses, medications and lifestyle choices may alter the results. Most tattoos age with our skin, so some line thickening, fall out and changes over time are expected.

Updated Licensing Rules

Michigan's Licensing and Regulations had a recent update, effective immediately, Stating that All Tattoo Technicians including Permanent Makeup Artists are not permitted to administer Numbing Agents prior or during a tattoo or pmu service. 

The client may not self administer any numbing agents prior to receiving a tattoo or pmu service, unless obtaining a written prescription from a licensed practitioner. This prescription must be documented in the intake form at the time of the appointment.


--I deeply apologize and empathize with clients on this change, as I know that some clients depend on numbing to receive services comfortably. If you have any questions please reach out and I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge as we artists are still trying to clarify with our health departments on the exact best course of action. 


AS OF 9/11/25 ALL SERVICES PERFORMED WILL HAVE NO NUMBING PROIR OR DURING SERVICE

Policies

  • DEPOSITS A non refundable deposit is required for large tattoo designs and cosmetic tattoos. Small designs only require deposit if client wishes to reschedule.
  • RESCHEDULING/CANCELATIONS Rescheduling can be done by contacting Kelsey at 231-631-3858. Cancellations made within 48 hours of appointment forfeit any deposits. Reschedules may require a new or additional deposit.
  • NO CALL / NO SHOWS  This is considered unacceptable behavior and may result in refusal of future services. I am very understanding but please try to respect my time and my business. Please contact me asap in the event you need to reschedule/cancel.
  • LATE POLICY: If you are more than 15 minutes late, appointment may need to be rescheduled and new deposit will be due. If you are running late, please call or text 231-631-3858
  • PAYMENTS: I accept cash, card, and other forms of payment. Additionally I now offer payment plans through cherry for cosmetic tattoos. A buy-now pay-later option.
  • PRICES may change at any time, and specials or discounts are subject to expiration dates and deadline booking dates. Final payment is due on day of service. If multiple appointments are scheduled, any discounts will be applied to final appointment. Tattoos are typically priced by piece and complexity. Large tattoos are hourly rates and Cosmetic tattoos are flat rate and service specific.
  • REFUNDS: There will be no refunds for these elective procedures, cancelled or missed appointments, allergic reactions to products, or displeasure in final service results. Results are not guaranteed. Cosmetic services are typically a two step process and require more care. Maintenance service every few years is an important component in longevity. Unsatisfactory after one session is not a realistic expectation of service results. 
  • ALLERGIC REACTION: If you feel worried about a potential allergic reaction to adhesives, pigments, numbing agents or other service products you may request a patch test prior to service. For pigment implantation - Fee of $25
  • RESULTS: Results cannot be guaranteed for everyone as client skin type, lifestyle, medications, and other factors vary by person. Those with previous scaring in the procedure area and those with sensitive or problematic skin may experience less retention.
  • DENIAL OF SERVICE: Services may be denied for any reason before, during, or after services if I feel necessary. I do not tolerate any form of hate speech, rude behavior, or disrespect. If I feel that we are not a good fit to work together, or for any other reason I may refuse service. 
  • My presence and work space is a safe place for all walks of life and I do not discriminate.
