Good to know about permanent makeup and cosmetic tattooing studios

How much does permanent makeup cost on average?
Initial eyebrow, eyeliner, or lip blush procedures typically cost between $350 and $900. Required follow-up touch-up sessions, usually performed 6 to 8 weeks later, range from $100 to $300 if not included in the original package.

How long does permanent makeup last before needing a touch-up?
Cosmetic tattoos generally last between 1 and 3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and technique. Oily skin, frequent sun exposure, and skincare products containing retinol or glycolic acid will cause the pigment to fade faster.

What is the healing timeline for permanent makeup?
Surface healing takes 7 to 14 days, during which slight flaking and darkening occur. Full color stabilization and deeper tissue healing take 4 to 6 weeks, after which the final touch-up can be safely performed.
