Cosmetic Tattoos by Jess

These are things my clients are always surprised to find out I offer. Consider this my “wait… you do that too?” list. 👀

★ Lobe piercings for minors ages 6+
I offer select piercing services for kiddos starting at age 6. A parent/guardian must be present, and proper identification/documentation is required!

★ FREE virtual consultations
Not sure what service is right for you? Have questions that feel like too much for a text? You can book a free virtual consultation directly through my website. We can actually sit down, talk through your ideas, and figure out the best plan before you commit to an appointment. In person consultations can also be booked online (but are not free).

★ Red ink spot testing
Red pigments are known to be more likely to cause sensitivities or allergic reactions in some people. If you’re considering red in your tattoo, especially if you’ve never had red pigment before, I offer a small spot test beforehand so we can see how your skin responds before incorporating it into a larger piece.

★ Jewelry changeouts
You don’t need a brand new piercing to come see me! If you have a healed piercing and want to switch up your jewelry, need help getting a tricky piece in or out, or just want someone to do it for you, you can book a jewelry changeout.

★ VIP / after-hours appointments
Can’t make my normal schedule work? Select after hours and Sunday appointments may be available for an additional squeeze-in fee. These are perfect when you need a little more flexibility but still want a dedicated appointment without trying to squeeze your life into my regular booking hours.

Apparently I need to talk about these more because some of y’all have been SHOCKED when I tell you I offer them. 😂

“WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THIS???”

me: explained the healing process 3 times

them on day 4: 🧍‍♀️

peeling = normal
itching = normal

Tattoos heal in stages. Think: dry, itchy flaky, and a little dull before the ink settles. This is completely normal as your body heals and grows new skin cells over the ink. This is the normal healing process — not your tattoo or brows “falling out”

Especially with fine line tattoos + soft, natural brows
softer work = more natural fade = sometimes needing touch ups to build the perfect saturation over time.

and before you plan your next tattoo… remember placement matters:
fingers = high movement + constant washing = faster fading
brows = will flake + heal lighter before the final result settles
arms/legs = better retention

During the first few days avoid: swimming, saunas, excessive heat/water exposure, scrubbing motions, active ingredients.

At shape and shade all body art includes free touch ups within 6 months to build up the perfect level of saturation.

You don't need to have a reason, just an appointment 😌

Not ready for a cartilage piercing? Start here.
Getting your second/third lobes is a great place to start a stack because it's super beginner friendly.

🌟 Most describe the pain level to be a 2/10
🌟 Lobes generally heal around 6 months (12 months for cartilage)
🌟 You can get creative with jewelry options. Once fully healed you can hoop it or use a chain to connect it to your first and second!
