Permanent Cosmetics — a form of cosmetic tattooing. Permanent cosmetic application uses tiny needles and various techniques to implant pigments into the skin for a more defined shape. Since the pigment is implanted into the skin, it is considered permanent, and yes, it is a tattoo. However, the pigments do fade over a period of 2-5 years, depending on skin health and lifestyle.
Permanent cosmetics are not necessarily intended to replace makeup completely. When you want to kick up your heels and go out for a night on the town, or simply want a different look, you can apply as much additional makeup as you wish. Permanent cosmetics can provide a great alternative to those who suffer from hair loss, alopecia, over-tweezing or thinning eyebrows. It is also a great alternative for the busy professional or athlete who needs to look her best all the time.

F. A. Q.
​
Can I choose the shape and the color?
You will have discuss shape and color with your cosmetic tattoo artist. In proposing a design for you, we will consider age, personality, current use of makeup, daily activities and the color and undertones of your skin. The artist will also consider the shape of your lips, structure of your brow bone, or curvature of your eyelid before creating the shape outline. Once the design has been drawn on, you must approve before tattooing occurs.
Will my eyebrow hair continue to grow?
Yes. To maintain the shape of the tattoo, we recommend tweezing, threading, or getting electrolysis to remove any hairs that grow outside of your tattoo pattern. We do not advise waxing.
​
Are the pigments safe?
We only use pigments specially-formulated for the face. Our pigments are of the highest grade and quality, and are strictly tested and regulated.
​
How long will the tattoo last?
Even though we call a cosmetic tattoo permanent, the color will fade naturally over time and you will need to have the color touched up. The time it takes to fade depends on the client's skin, health, lifestyle and tattoo maintentence. Generally, this is between one and five years depending on procedure.
The following timeframes are typically recommended for touch ups:
-
Permanent Brows: 2-5 years
-
Permanent Eyeliner: 2-5 years
-
Permanent Lips: 2-5 years
​
How long does an appointment normally take?
The average time for a permanent makeup procedure is 3 – 4 hours. Before application, the client will undergo a consultation which includes discussion of medical history, lifestyle, personality, design, color, and any questions or concerns.
I have a darker complexion, is the procedure ideal for me?
Yes! Permanent cosmetics are beneficial for all skin types and ages.
Does age matter?
No! We treat a wide range of clients. The only restriction by law is that you must be 18 years of age. We have found this treatment particularly beneficial for seniors who have lost the dexterity and steadiness needed to apply makeup. We want everyone to feel beautiful!
Do you shave the eyebrow before you do an eyebrow procedure?
No, the hair is left in place but if brows are unruly, it is beneficial to trim them. Any excess hair that is outside of the new design pattern will be removed as desired.
I don't have any eyebrow hair at all — will this look fake?
3D Permanent Hairstroke Brows are meant to look as real as possible. Each individual stroke resembles an eyebrow hair, so the result is a realistic permanent brow. Hair stroke permanent brows look much more real than the pencil you may be applying.
Do microblading or permanent cosmetic procedures hurt?
Here at Gravity we do our best to keep you comfortable and relaxed with a gentle touch and topical numbing agents. The majority of our clients are pleasantly surprised by the pain level experienced, and many consider it less painful than a regular tattoo since there are less needles involved and a numbing agent is applied. We recommend that clients take Tylenol prior to the procedure and drink plenty of water to hydrate the skin. Do not take Motrin, Aspirin or any type of blood thinner prior to a procedure.
