CONSENT FORMS: WHY HONESTY ACTUALLY IS THE BEST POLICY

Why Consent forms matter

I have to admit: being in the tattooing industry, I sometimes forget that people outside the world of tattooing don’t entirely know what to look for, in terms of hygiene and sanitation, when they walk into an appointment or consultation. At this point in my career it is fully second nature, but I still see […]

SO, LIP BLUSHING — WHAT IS IT?

You may have heard of a new trend popping up amongst salons and beauty influencers called “brow lamination.” Sounds intense – what actually is a brow lamination?  Just like how a lash lift + tint is a perm for your lashes, brow lamination is a 3-step process that is essentially a relaxing treatment for your brows!

WHY DON’T YOU TOUCH-UP OTHER ARTISTS’ WORK?

Cosmetic Tattooing Raleigh, NC

True finished, healed results from PMU services are typically achieved over two sessions – the initial session, where we map your features (for brows), start from scratch, explain aftercare, and lay a good base, and a secondary perfecting session (complimentary at Inkvictus 😉), where we assess your healed results and make any adjustments to ensure […]

Great question, and one that everyone asks! It’s easiest to break down the kinds of extensions into “types” and “styles”. The “types” of full sets of lash extensions we offer here at Inkvictus include Classics, Volumes, and Hybrids. Once you choose a type, each one is then customizable down to the length, weight, and “style” […]

Lash Extensions @ Inkvictus Studios

We get this question all the time, every day, from nearly every client – and it’s a good question to ask! When we say that we custom mix every pigment to suit each individual client, many clients assume we’re talking about their brow hair color, and that that’s what we strive to match. Good guess, […]
