Frequently Asked Questions About Microblading

Does Microblading Hurt?

At Chroma Tattoo, we use a highly-effective anesthetic cream during your procedure in order to numb the area. Although some discomfort is normal, we always go the extra mile to ensure your comfort..

How Long Does Microblading Last?

Cosmetic tattoo treatments will never completely disappear, but they will fade over time. We recommend having them refreshed every 1 to 2 years, depending on a number of factors. The rate at which your tattoo fades depends on the pigment color, sun exposure, and other factors. Please be aware that we cannot offer guarantees regarding longevity due to the wide range of factors.

How Old Do I Have to Be to Undergo Microblading?

You must be at least 18 years of age to receive microblading.

Can I Undergo Microblading While Pregnant or Nursing?

As a general precaution, we do not perform any microblading or tattooing procedures on pregnant or nursing women.

Can I Get My Eyebrows Microbladed if They Were Previously Tattooed?

Yes, you can as long as they are minimum 50% faded.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Most microblading procedures require more than one appointment, one for the initial cosmetic tattoo, and additional meeting(s) 6-8 weeks later to reevaluate and perform any necessary touchups. Some people prefer a bolder look, and everybody heals differently, so appointment number varies by client.

What is the Healing Process?

For the first few days, your semi-permanent makeup will appear slightly darker and bigger than the final result. During the healing process it, will lighten a bit to its natural coloration. Please visit our tips and aftercare page for more detailed information.

Microblading Policies

After healing, results will differ between individual clients, and some people find they may still need to use pencil or powder. Chroma Tattoo has no control over how the healing process is managed and what the final results may be. There is no guarantee and additional sessions could be required to get your desired results, and will be charged accordingly.
In order to book and confirm an appointment, we require a deposit to ensure that you are serious. This deposit will be deducted from the overall cost of your microblading session, and we require 48 hour’s notice in order to reschedule your appointment without penalty. If for any reason you cancel or do not arrive at your appointment, you automatically forfeit your deposit. Arriving more than 20 minutes after your scheduled appointment time may result you in the forfeiture of your deposit and your appointment being cancelled. Please notify us if you know you are going to be late. An additional deposit will be required to re-book any appointment cancelled due to lateness. All deposits are non-refundable!
