Nobody needs to know you weren’t born with it, as I take our time to make your permanent beauty mark look as natural as possible; adding just the right amount of pigment to make your mark look real and not distractingly strange.

Are you certified and licensed to operate?
Yes! Jennifique Lashes Brows & Beauty is a licensed tattoo studio and Jennifer is a Certified Permanent Makeup Artist (PMU). She has received a hands-on apprenticeship and received certification from one or more Permanent Makeup Artists.
Jennifer has also received extensive training and certification in Blood Borne Pathogens as deemed necessary for tattoo artists by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It’s crucial that you choose not only a Certified Permanent Makeup Artist (PMU) but also a Licensed and Insured one to ensure your health is protected!
Does IT HURT?
Every client is different and pain tolerance varies by client. Most clients describe the pain level as minimal and find tweezing and threading more uncomfortable. I use the best topical lidocaine gel available to minimize discomfort. That being said, this is still a tattoo. You will typically feel some discomfort. Based on experience, we would describe the feeling of slight burning, astringent-like sensation. Very tolerable and worth it!
How long does it last?
This will vary by client. If aftercare instructions are followed diligently, your new brows will last approximately 24 months on average before they’re mostly faded; 18 months is average. For some people, their beauty marks will last even longer, and some less. Certain factors such as sun exposure and tanning beds, getting chemical peels, oily skin type, bleeding, etc., will affect whether your brows will last on the higher or lower end of the expected 12-18 months. We recommend one touch-up per year to keep them fresh. Coming more often increases the risk of scar tissue or causing your brows to look unnatural.
How long is the Healing Process?
While the actual tattooing of the freckles may take a few hours, the healing time is relatively quick compared to a normal tattoo. Although the dots will appear slightly swollen and dark immediately after tattooing, side effects typically start to dissipate after only a few hours—healing completely after two weeks or less.

who is a good candidate for beauty marks
That would include busy parents or business people who don’t have much time to apply makeup, active people who don’t want to worry about sweating off makeup while working out or swimming, or any person who struggles with getting that perfect shape that the celebrities and YouTube makeup artists always seem to have.
Other clients include those suffering from scarring, Trichotillomania, Alopecia, and Cancer, or other diseases and disorders that have led to natural hair loss.

Beauty marks AFTERCARE
It usually takes around 7-10 days for the skin to heal, however, you should follow the aftercare until the skin is fully healed. Your skin is healed when all flaking and scabbing is gone.
DAY OF TREATMENT: ABSORB
With medium pressure, blot the area with a clean tissue to absorb excess lymph fluid. Do this every five minutes until oozing has stopped, however long that takes. Removing this fluid prevents the hardening of lymph, thus helping to prevent scabbing. Blot, blot, blot!
Keep your face dry for 24 hours. After that, make sure that you’re using a very mild soap and moisturizing with a non-scented moisturizer. Anything with fragrance may irritate the skin.
DAY 2-10 (until the scabbing stops): CLEANSE & MOISTURIZE
Gently rinse your eyebrows each morning and night with water and gentle soap (ex. Dial, baby shampoo, Dove, Cetaphil.) With a very light touch, use your clean fingertips to gently cleanse brows. Rub the area in a smooth motion for 5-10 seconds and rinse with water ensuring that all soap is removed. To dry, gently pat with a clean tissue or let air dry. DO NOT use any cleansing products containing acids (glycolic, lactic, or AHA), or any exfoliates.
Healing with little to no aftercare ointment is best! You should only apply Aquaphor if you are extremely itchy and uncomfortable. If so, you you can apply a rice grain amount of aqua for with a cotton swab and spread it over affected area as needed. Be sure not to over apply as this will suffocate skin and delay healing. The ointment should be barely noticeable on the skin. Never put ointment on wet or damp tattoo.
Do not rub or pick at your brows. This can cause scarring or infection. Should there be any scabbing, let them fall off naturally.
