What happens after my tattoo session?
What happens after my tattoo session?
FOR TATTOOS, YOU'LL LIKELY WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY IN A PANIC SINCE THEY HAVE DARKENED OR IN SOME CASES APPEAR MUCH WARMER. DON'T WORRY, THIS HAPPENS TO EVERYONE! TRUST THE PROCESS AND FOLLOW YOUR AFTER CARE CARD. STRICT HEALING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN FOR DAYS 1-14. YOU SHOULDN'T SCAB IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING OUR PROTOCOL BUT SOME MILD FLAKING MAY OCCUR. REMEMBER COMPLETE HEALING OCCURS OVER THE FIRST 45 DAYS SO YOU SHOULD AVOID: SUN, SWIMMING , SWEATING, PEELS, INJECTABLES AND RETIN-A (AVOID RETIN-A & PEELS IN THE TREATED AREA FOR THE LIFE OF YOUR PROCEDURE TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE FADING OR CHANGE IN COLOR)
PRO-TIP: PLAN AHEAD TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAN ADHERE TO THE ABOVE FOR YOUR 1ST APPOINTMENT + YOUR TOUCH-UP.

I’m getting married/ have a big event! When should I come in?
I’m getting married/ have a big event! When should I come in?
YOU WANT TO BE FULLY HEALED FROM YOUR TOUCH-UP! SO TYPICALLY A FULL 2-3 MONTHS BEFORE YOUR EVENT IS PERFECT!
How often should I expect to come in for touch-ups/ How long does it last?
How often should I expect to come in for touch-ups/ How long does it last?
THE SHORT ANSWER IS 12-18 MONTHS. WE ADVISE NOT TO COME IN SOONER THAN TWELVE MONTHS FROM YOUR LAST/ TOUCH-UP SESSION TO GIVE YOUR SKIN A BREAK FROM ADDITIONAL TRAUMA. YOUR SKIN WILL APPRECIATE IT! IDEALLY, WE WANT THE TATTOO TO BE AT LEAST 40% FADED. THAT ENSURES YOUR SKIN HAS MADE MORE ROOM FOR NEW PIGMENT AND ELIMINATES THE RISK OF OVERSATURATING. OVERSATURATING = MUDDY BROWS = NOT IDEAL = SOMETHING WE'D HAVE TO COMBAT LATER = WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT THAT. YIKES!
Do you supply everything needed to make sure my tattoo heals great?

How long should I wait to get a Lash Lift after my Permanent Eyeliner? Before?
How long should I wait to get a Lash Lift after my Permanent Eyeliner? Before?
IF YOU'RE WANTING TO GET A LASH LIFT & TINT DONE BEFORE PERMANENT EYELINER, YOU MUST DO SO 48 HOURS PRIOR TO YOUR SCHEDULED EYELINER APPOINTMENT. IF YOU'VE RECENTLY HAD YOUR EYELINER DONE, YOU MUST GIVE YOUR LINER A FULL 10 DAYS OF HEAL TIME BEFORE RECEIVING A LASH LIFT & TINT.
I see you include the touch-up in your price, why?
I see you include the touch-up in your price, why?
IF YOU'RE SHOPPING AROUND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE TOUCH-UP IS RARELY INCLUDED AND THE YEARLY REFRESHER APPOINTMENT IS GENERALLY THE SAME PRICE AS THE 1ST/ INITIAL SESSION. WE WANT TO BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO WORKS ON YOUR BROWS SO WE INCLUDE EVERYTHING IN ONE PRICE AND GIVE YOU A DISCOUNT ON YOUR YEARLY TOUCH-UPS!
Why are prices different depending on the artist?
Why are prices different depending on the artist?
SIMPLE: EXPERIENCE. JR. ARTISTS ARE NEWER AND STILL HONING THEIR CRAFT. THOUGH THEY HAVE APPRENTICED AND HAVE TAKEN MODELS, THEY ARE STILL BUILDING THEIR PORTFOLIOS.
I dye my hair often. How will we match my brows?
I dye my hair often. How will we match my brows?
WE WANT YOUR END RESULTS TO BE PERFECTLY NATURAL AND SEAMLESS. TO DELIVER SUCH RESULTS WE WANT TO CHOOSE A PIGMENT COLOR THAT MATCHES YOUR SKIN TONE vs your brow color - Yes, we do take your brow color into account but as the tattoo will be seen through the skin, we want to make sure it blends cleanly. :)
Is it painful at all?
Is it painful at all?
BECAUSE EVERYONE'S PAIN TOLERANCE IS DIFFERENT, WE CAN'T PROMISE YOU WON'T FEEL ANYTHING DURING YOUR SESSION. SLIGHT DISCOMFORT CAN BE EXPECTED. WE DO, HOWEVER, USE SOME SORT OF NUMBING AGENT DURING EVERY APPOINTMENT SO MOST CLIENTS SAY PAIN LEVEL IS AROUND A ONE OR TWO ON A SCALE FROM ONE TO TEN. CAN YOU BE TATTOOED WITHOUT NUMBING? YES. DO SOME CLIENTS CHOOSE NOT TO BE NUMBED? ALSO YES.
I'm running late, what do I do?
I'm running late, what do I do?
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR ARTIST IMMEDIATELY! WE WORRY IF WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU! IF YOU'RE MORE THAN 15 MINUTES LATE, WE WILL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT AND A NEW DEPOSIT WILL BE REQUIRED. BEING LATE DELAYS THE REST OF OUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS. WE WANT TO GIVE EVERYONE THEIR FULL ALOTED TIME SO WE CAN PROVIDE OUR BEST SERVICE!
Do you touch-up other artist's work?
Do you touch-up other artist's work?
UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT TOUCH-UP OTHER ARTIST'S WORK! OUR FEAR WITH TOUCHING UP OTHER WORK IS THAT THE PIGMENT DOESN'T MARRY TOGETHER NICELY AND THEN YOU'RE STUCK WITH SOMETHING THAT ISN'T PRETTY. WITH A NEW FULL SESSION, IT GIVES US TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO SEE HOW THE OLD AND NEW PIGMENTS WORK TOGETHER. WE CALL THE SECOND SESSION THE PERFECTING SESSION TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE SET FOR THE NEXT YEAR OR SO AND IF THERE IS SOME SORT OF ISSUE WITH THE TWO PIGMENTS WE CAN MAKE IT RIGHT THEN. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MOVING FORWARD, WE DO REQUIRE A COMPLIMENTARY IN-PERSON CONSULTATION JUST TO DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU ARE A CANDIDATE. IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN A FULL SESSION, WE TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AND WISH YOU ALL THE BEST! <3
What's the difference between Microblading & Powder Brows?
What's the difference between Microblading & Powder Brows?
MICROBLADING IS A TECHNIQUE THAT USES A SMALL TOOL, WITH AN ARRAY OF NEEDLES, TO CUT/ SLICE INTO THE SKIN AND CREATE A HAIR STROKE PATTERN. POWDER BROWS IS A LESS ABRASIVE TECHNIQUE THAT IS CREATED WITH A TATTOO MACHINE. IT LIGHTLY GRAZES (PUNCTURES) THE SKIN AND SLOWLY BUILDS UP PIGMENT.
HERE AT INKVICTUS STUDIOS, WE DO NOT PERFORM MICROBLADING AS WE DO NOT AGREE WITH THE WAY IT HEALS/ AGES/ TRAUMATIZES THE SKIN. WE HAVE YOU AND YOUR SKIN'S BEST INTEREST IN MIND, WE BELIEVE MICROBLADING DOES NOT ACHIEVE POSITIVE/ PREDICATBLE RESULTS. WE WANT YOUR BROWS TO LOOK GREAT TODAY, AS WELL AS FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. <3
Can I bring my children or a guest to my appointment?
Can I bring my children or a guest to my appointment?
PLEASE DO NOT BRING CHILDREN WITH YOU TO YOUR APPOINTMENT. KIDS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER THE STUDIO NOR CAN THEY WAIT OUTSIDE. THIS IS AN NC LAW AND A SAFETY PRECAUTION! 18+ GUESTS ARE NOT PERMITTED IN THE TATTOO AREA BUT CAN HAVE A SEAT ON OUR COMFY COUCH WHILE THEY WAIT!
Do lash extensions damage your natural lashes?
Do lash extensions damage your natural lashes?
WITH PROPER ISOLATION, THE EXTENSION SHOULD ONLY TAKE ONE NATURAL LASH. THIS IS WHY REFILLS ARE SO IMPORTANT! WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE ANY GROWN OUT LASHES TO PREVENT ANY BREAKING OF THE NATURAL LASHES.
If I have sparse natural lashes, can I get extensions?
If I have sparse natural lashes, can I get extensions?
IF YOU HAVE SPARSE LASHES AND/ OR GAPS WITHIN THE NATURAL LASH LINE, ALL FULL SETS WILL STILL HAVE A SPACED OUT LOOK. WE WANT EXTENSIONS TO BE FULL (CLASSICS), FLUFFY AND FULL (VOLUME), OR WISPY AND FULL(HYBRIDS). LASH EXTENSIONS ARE ONLY AS FULL AS HOW MANY NATURAL LASHES YOU HAVE. ALWAYS REMEMBER: ONE EXTENSION TO ONE NATURAL LASH!
Can I have Lip Blushing done if I have filler?
Can I have Lip Blushing done if I have filler?
