The same iron oxide based pigments used in Microblading are also used when creating Magic Shadow. These pigments are safe to use and are created to fade over time.

Cosmetic tattooing is considered semi-permanent as it does not wash away, however pigments are designed to fade over time. Factors such as skin type, iron deficiency, pigment color (lighter colors fade faster) and sun exposure can affect the rate at which these pigments are broken down. For best results it is recommended that you follow our aftercare instructions and touch-up your tattoo every 1-2 years (or as needed). Magic Shadow requires a minimum of two sessions. Touch-ups are normal and expected for cosmetic tattoo procedures.

*Please note that final results CAN NOT be guaranteed as everyone retains and breaks down pigment differently and a follow-up appointment is recommended at 6-8 weeks where we can asses your pigment retention and make any changes necessary. People with lighter hair, correction work or sparse eyebrows may require more than one follow-up to reach their desired look at an additional cost.

Magic Shadow is a great alternative for individuals who are not good candidates for Microblading. It works on all skin types and is ideal for those who desire a more “makeup” look.

If you prefer to have your eyebrows waxed/threaded please do so at least 48 hours before your appointment, otherwise we can remove stray hairs after we design your brows. You must not go tanning for 30 days prior to your procedure. You must not use Retin-A near the tattooed area before or after the procedure Do not work out the day of your appointment. You cannot take any medications that may thin your blood (i.e. Asprin, Ibuprofen, Fish Oil, Vitamin E) 72 hours before or immediately after your procedure. Do not drink alcohol the night before or day of your procedure. Avoid caffeine the day of your appointment. Doing any of the above may cause bleeding, which will affect how well your body retains pigment. As with every tattoo, we recommend avoiding pools, salt water and extreme sun exposure for at least two weeks following your appointment, so make vacation plans accordingly!

* Bleeding during the procedure: Excessive bleeding during your procedure will greatly affect how your body retains pigment. While this is not entirely in our control, it is important that you follow prep instructions to help minimize bleeding. This includes avoiding blood thinning medications, alcohol and caffeine before your procedure.
* Smoking: Smokers may notice that their tattoo will fade faster
* Anemia and iron deficiency: Your body will absorb these iron based pigments more quickly.
* Sun exposure: Increased exposure to the sun will cause premature fading.
* Color of pigment: Lighter colors fade more quickly than darker colors.

When you arrive for your appointment you will be asked to fill out paper work.
Your brow area will be thoroughly cleaned and we will have a consultation about your brows.
I will begin designing your brows based on what we discussed during the consultation. I will take into account your skin type, existing brows and bone structure and give my recommendations. We will work together to create brows that are flattering and will look the most natural.
Once a shape is determined and approved, I will begin tattooing. Anesthetics will be applied throughout the process to help keep you as comfortable as possible.

Following your procedure your tattoo will appear much darker and bolder than it will heal due to oxidation in the surface layer of your skin. You may experience some redness or swelling around the tattooed area, though this typically disappears within 48 hours.
Within a few days (typically 5-7) you will notice some scabbing or flaking on the tattooed area, do not pick at these, doing so can result in loss of pigment in those areas. Brows may appear spotty or patchy until the entire brow has finished exfoliating. Ombre brows will heal 50-60% lighter than they appear when freshly tattooed.
At 4-6 weeks your brows will be fully healed. If you’d prefer darker, bolder brows we can always add more color or dimension during your follow-up appointment! Pricing for touch-up appointments past 12 weeks can be found in the ‘Pricing’ tab.
