The longevity of your tattooing DEPENDS on multiple factors. Rule of thumb is approx 10 – 24 months, however some of the following factors must be taken into account. Semi-Permanent Makeup procedures can last for a short while or a couple years: [But at a couple of yrs they will have faded a lot] The length of time can depend on sun exposure- The density of colour that has been implanted into the skin. (The softer / lighter colours do not last as long as strong, darker colours) Not everyone holds colour the same / your skin type (paper thin/ thick) can affect the longevity. Large pores, oily skin, red veins. Some people weep and or bleed during the process so it’s harder to get colour to hold. (Some weep after the procedure so it’s like a tap behind the skin washing the colour out.)

Smoking can have an affect on result and longevity.of the tattooing especially of the lips. Medications will have an effect. Anti-depressants and medication for anxiety affects the result over time. Any health issues can also affect the pigmentation and colour fade.

Face creams with any active ingredients will fade the tattooing. For instance, if you put cream on your forehead and not on your eyebrows it still will travel under the skin and in time fade your eyebrows sooner and in some cases alter the colour.

It can be a bit scary choosing someone to cosmetically tattoo your eyebrows. Ensure you read many reviews from actual tattoo clients. Take your time and do your research, view lots of “before” and “after” photos. Also, make sure the photos belong to the technician and that they have substantial experience, and don’t be fooled by magazines ads they are not actual reviews, they are mostly paid for.
