Permanent makeup (PMU) is cosmetic tattooing that enhances your natural features like shaping your brows, defining your eyes, or adding color to your lips. It’s meant to boost your everyday appearance and confidence.
Paramedical tattooing focuses on restorative work for people who’ve had surgeries, scars, or skin trauma.
It includes treatments like:
Scar camouflage to blend discolored scars into your natural skin tone
Inkless scar revision (microneedling) to smooth and improve scar texture using serums, no pigment required
3D areola tattoos for breast cancer survivors or after top surgery
Belly button restoration tattoos after tummy tucks or other abdominal procedures
Phalloplasty pigmentation for clients who have undergone gender affirming bottom surgery and want natural looking color and definition
So while PMU is aesthetic, paramedical tattooing is restorative, supporting both physical and emotional healing.

For all Paramedical Tattoos (3D Areola, Scar Revision/Camouflage, 3D Belly Button and Phallus Repigmentation) Patch testing is required for all paramedical procedures. We recommend booking your patch test at least 1 week before your session to allow time for any delayed skin reactions. Allergic reactions (especially delayed hypersensitivity) can take up to 72 hours to appear. This is especially important for clients with sensitive skin, autoimmune conditions, or past allergic responses. It also gives time to assess both pigment and anesthetic reactions. We’ll send details by email and ask you to sign a waiver

After your tattoo session, there are several things you should avoid to protect the area and support pigment retention:
For the first 7–14 days (or until fully healed), avoid:
-Direct sun exposure or tanning
-Swimming (pools, hot tubs, lakes, oceans)
-Excessive sweating (intense workouts or saunas)
-Applying makeup, lotions, or oils on the treated area
-Scratching, picking, or peeling any flaking skin or scabs
-Sleeping directly on the tattooed area
-It’s also best to avoid using exfoliating products, harsh cleansers, or active skincare (like retinols or acids) near the tattooed site until it’s fully healed.
