Mistake #1: Choosing an inexperienced technician

When it comes to permanent makeup, picking the right technician is everything. An experienced technician ensures that you walk away with beautiful, natural-looking results that enhance your features. On the other hand, opting for someone with less experience can lead to uneven application, wrong colour choices, or even infection—yikes! 

That’s why Nanna, a pro at Cosmetic Tattooing, always stresses the importance of going with a certified, experienced technician. With her expert skills in lip blushing, Ombre brows, and eyeliner tattooing, you can trust that you're in good hands.

Choosing someone without the proper training can not only affect the look you’re going for but also put your health at risk. Infections and unsatisfactory results are common when technicians lack the necessary experience. 

To avoid these pitfalls, do your research and seek out certified professionals like Nanna, who know the ins and outs of creating flawless and long-lasting makeup that you’ll love.

Mistake #2: Skipping the consultation process

Jumping straight into permanent makeup without consultation is like diving into a pool without checking the depth—risky and potentially disappointing. The consultation process is a must for getting the results you want. It’s where you and your technician discuss your goals, preferences, and any concerns you might have. This is how Nanna ensures that every treatment, from lip blushing to Ombre brows and eyeliner tattooing, is perfectly tailored to suit you.

Skipping this step is a common mistake because it might seem like a time-saver, but it often leads to mismatched expectations and results.

Mistake #3: Not following aftercare instructions

Ignoring aftercare instructions is like skipping the final chapter of a book—you miss out on the full story! Proper aftercare is essential for the healing process and longevity of your permanent makeup. It helps prevent infections, ensures your colours stay vibrant, and keeps your look fresh.

When you neglect aftercare, you risk complications like infections, uneven healing, and colour fading. It’s not just about keeping things clean; it’s about using the right products and following the guidelines to maintain your new look.

Nanna understands the importance of this step and provides a detailed aftercare guide for all her cosmetic tattoo procedures. By sticking to her aftercare advice, you'll enjoy your beautiful results for longer and avoid any unnecessary hassles.

Mistake #4: Ignoring skin type and allergies

Ignoring your skin type and potential allergies can lead to unexpected complications in your permanent makeup journey. Different skin types react differently to pigments and techniques, and overlooking this can result in poor results or adverse reactions.

Nanna takes great care in evaluating each client’s skin type and checking for allergies to ensure the best possible outcome. This is why Nanna only uses organic vegan-based pigments that are CE certified and meet strict ISO 9001: 2015 EU regulation standard. These pigments are 100% safe, cruelty-free, and free from animal by-products, giving you peace of mind while enhancing your look. 

Her meticulous approach ensures that your permanent makeup is as flawless and comfortable as possible!

Mistake #5: Opting for the cheapest option

Choosing the cheapest permanent makeup option might seem like a bargain, but it often leads to regret. While saving money is always tempting, going for the lowest price can mean compromising on quality, safety, and overall results.

Cheaper services might use subpar materials, which can increase the risk of infections or lead to unsatisfactory aesthetic outcomes. Quality matters in permanent makeup—investing a bit more ensures you're getting a professional job with high-grade pigments and skilled application.

Nanna emphasizes the importance of quality in cosmetic tattooing. At Cosmetic Tattooing, you’ll find that while our prices are affordable and reasonable, we never skimp on quality. Nanna offers expert lip tattooing, eyebrow tattooing, and eyeliner procedures that make sure your beauty enhancement is both safe and stunning!

Mistake #6: Not considering long-term maintenance

When it comes to permanent makeup, planning for long-term maintenance is something that you should also take into account. While your initial treatment might look flawless, neglecting regular touch-ups can lead to faded or uneven results over time.

Long-term maintenance helps keep your makeup looking fresh and vibrant, extending the life of your investment. Skipping touch-ups might seem like a minor issue, but it can result in less satisfying outcomes and the need for more drastic fixes later.

Nanna recommends scheduling regular maintenance sessions to ensure your lip blush, Ombre brows, or eyeliner stays perfectly in place. At Cosmetic Tattooing, Nanna helps you plan these touch-ups so your permanent makeup remains as stunning as the day you had it done!

Mistake #7: Failing to do proper research

Before going into permanent makeup, doing your homework is a must! Researching different techniques, colour options, and technicians helps ensure you get the results you’re dreaming of. Skipping this step can lead to disappointing outcomes, from mismatched colours to unsatisfactory techniques.

Thorough research allows you to understand what’s available and what’s best for your unique needs. It also helps you find a qualified technician who can deliver the quality and style you want. 

Nanna emphasizes the importance of making informed decisions, and her expertise in ombre brows, lip blush, and eyeliner tattooing can guide you toward the best choices.

Mistake #8: Having unrealistic expectations

Setting realistic expectations is key to enjoying your permanent makeup results!  It's easy to dream of perfectly shaped brows or flawless lip tints, but understanding the limits of what permanent makeup can achieve will lead to greater satisfaction. Unrealistic expectations can result in disappointment, as the final look might not match the idealized vision.

Nanna focuses on helping clients set achievable goals through education and open communication. By discussing what’s possible and addressing any concerns before your appointment, she ensures that you have a clear understanding of the process and outcomes. This way, you’re not only thrilled with the results but also confident in your decision!
