Is cosmetic tattooing safe?

Your treatment is performed under the strict Alberta Health Services standards and the studio is inspected regularly by a health inspector.  We far exceed the Alberta Health Services requirements.  Single use disposable needles and blades are used for all cosmetic tattooing procedures.  Pigments used in our studio contain only ingredients approved by the FDA for tattooing.

What can I expect after my cosmetic tattoo procedure?

After care instructions and after care ointment are provided to you.  It’s imperative that all instructions are followed.

Depending on the procedure type, you will likely be required to wash the area frequently on the first day and then keep the area dry until the surface of the skin has healed. 

The pigment will typically be “darker” for the first few days.
