During the appointment we go through thorough consultation to talk about what you are hoping to achieve in terms of shape and colour. Once we have discussed what you are looking for, most of the appointment is spent brow mapping so that both of us are happy with the shape and symmetry. Once that is decided we move onto colour and then begin tattooing the shape on you.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least painful and 10 being the most, our clients experience a pain level of 2-3. Please note: everyone’s pain tolerance varies.
