Permanent cosmetics are ideal for people who have:
    • Faded or thinning eyebrows
    • Impaired eyesight or unsteady hands
    • Active lifestyles
    • Permanent hair loss
    • Allergies or sensitivities to traditional cosmetics
    • Eyebrow and eyelash loss due to alopecia 
    • Had breast cancer reconstruction and wish to recreate the 
areola

Permanent cosmetics are not:
   • A total make-up replacement, instead micropigmentation is a
     subtle enhancement of your own natural features.

WHAT IS PERMANENT COSMETICS?
Permanent cosmetics or make-up, cosmetic tattooing, and micropigmentation are all different names for the art of inserting pigment into the skin. Color pigments  secifically formulated for cosmetic use are implanted into the dermal layer of the skin with either manual or electrically powered tools.
 
IS IT REALLY PERMANENT?
Because the pigment of permanent cosmetics heals into the skin and doesn't wash off, it is considered permanent.  Ultra-violet exposure from sun or tanning booths, after care, and skin treatments all may affect the permanence of the micropigmentation. 
 
Protection from the sun will greatly prolong the longevity of your work. Fading can, and does, occur requiring periodic maintenance to keep permanent cosmetics fresh.
 
WHY THE HAND METHOD?
The SofTap® hand method of micropigmentation combines precision with versatility for soft and natural looking results for eyebrows, liner, and lips.  It is quiet and gentle, with great results.
 
This permanent makeup technique is designed to provide maximum comfort, fast healing, complete control, and minimal touch ups.

IS PERMANENT MAKEUP SAFE?
Client safety and comfort is our priority. The highest standards are employed before, during and after any permanent cosmetic procedure.  We use single use disposable needles and pigments for each client. 
 
This along with regular hand washing and glove changing are a part of a thorough cross-contamination practice.   Although very rare, allergic reactions may occur, primarily with reds pigments.  Patch tests availible upon request.

Areola repigmentation.
 
For women and men who've had reconstructive surgery after breast cancer and would like realistic areolas/nipples tattooed.  Sasha has had specialized training and ceritfied in this technique of areola repigmentation to create natural color and shape.
 
"Ok, cancer and breast reconstruction are no fun but getting your tattoos can be!  Finding Dragonfly Ink was the culmination of a long process.  And, what a great way to end!  Sasha was so cool, she spent lots of time making sure I was comfortable and that the colors (for the areola repigmentation) were what I wanted. Plus my friends and I had a really fun time at her studio.  And, the end result was fantastic.  I am so grateful there is a place like Dragonfly Ink out there! I'd recommend Dragonfly and Sasha to anyone."
