Beautiful ladies out there!! Let's talk about micro-pigmentation again.... Most of the people think that permanent make up is only about tattooing eyebrows and eyeliners.... mainly for enhancing what we already have or practicality.... somehow that is right.... But, we actually can do a lot more than that.... What most people don't know is that with this technic we can help post cancer patients to regain a bit of their confidence.... One of the many consequences of chemother...apy is alopecia.... the lost of hair can be dramatic for many patients.... We can help to get the appearance of their eyebrows back..... It's a little self esteem boost for women going through very hard times ..... Even if it could sound superficial, it is actually unbelievable how much a touch of the right color, applied in the right place can help !!!!! Going a bit further on the matter of cancer patients.... Breast cancer survivor women go through a lot trying to get their lifes back..... Is not and easy road.... and sadly enough, is a quiet busy one.... There are different ways of reconstructing the breast after the mastectomy is done... Some "build" a fake nipple.... areolas..... but, what they don't do in the surgery room is getting the color of the area where nipples should be.... That leaves the breast still looking weird.... Here is were we can finalize the process of getting your life back.... as normal as possible... Applying the same technic of micro-pigmentation used for eyebrows and eyeliners, we can create the areola/nipple complex... No matter what kind of surgery the patient had chosen, we can help a lot... if the area hasn't being created surgically, we can apply color, creating shadows in a way that will give the impression of actually a nipple being there.... If the complex areola/nipple has been done during the surgery, we still apply the color following what medically has been done. The results are amazing.... It's ART in it's best form!!! It's the celebration of life!!! It's really that final touch that was missing.... If you know somebody that is going through this situation.... Talk to them about paramedical tattoo....Let them know that this is an option that could change their lifes in a positive way! If you are one of this brave women that has won the battle against cancer and you feel like something is still missing, think about this option... Contact me to learn more about it... I'll be very happy to answer your questions and doubts.

Does Micro Pigmentation hurt? I use a topical anesthetic which works beautifully. You will feel some discomfort . You are actually having a needle very close t...o your eyes!!! But, believe me. You will feel some tickling, and awkward sensations. But no pain . I will apply the topic anesthetic as needed to assure your comfort. What do I have to know about micro pigmentation? Once you get the appointment, we will sit down and talk about what you want to have done. After knowing a little bit about your life style, health status, and some make up preferences, I will suggest colors and shapes that would match your skin type, hair color and face shape using an eye brow pencil. After your TOTAL approval, I will proceed with the tattooing process. Pictures will be taken before and after procedures. I always suggest to take several hours off your daily routine for the appointment. It is a long process. And we don’t want to rush it. It is better to relax and take it easy. After finishing, I will apply and antibiotic ointment. (Just a one time application). And instruction sheet and a post care balm will be provided for you to take home. We will discuss what to do and what not to do during the healing process. A second appointment (4 to 5 weeks later) will be scheduled for a touch up session. Because every skin is different, and we don’t really know how pigments behave in each skin type, I will correct and apply the final touches to accomplish the perfect look we want to achieve. How long does it last? It is very difficult to say.. It depends on your skin type, Micro pigmentation technic, life style (sun exposure reduces the life span and changes the colors of the pigments); some facial treatments and creams can affect the pigments too. But, I would say that easily could last a couple of years. Probably needing some revitalization of the color.. Many women are so use to not to have eyebrows.. It is sometimes difficult to get use to the new look. That’s why I always suggest a very conservative approach. It is always possible to darken and to make a thicker line but not to reduce it.. The touch up session is there for a reason and it is included in the price. Don’t be afraid to contact us and get a consultation. You will be totally happy with the results!!!

I found this on the net... beautiful and powerful!!! Perfect for today's celebration as women!!! Never forget who you really are!!!! Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good she is a woman. A woman who honors her experience and tells her stories.... Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body and life. Imagine a woman who trusts and respects herself. A woman who listens to her needs and desires. Who meets them with tenderness and grace. Imagine a woman who acknowledges the past’s influence on the present. A woman who has walked through her past. Who has healed into the present. Imagine a woman who authors her own life. A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own behalf. Who refuses to surrender except to her truest self and wisest voice. Imagine a woman who names her own gods. A woman who imagines the divine in her image and likeness. Who designs a personal spirituality to inform her daily life. Imagine a woman in love with her own body. A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is. Who celebrates its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource. Imagine a woman who honors the body of the Goddess in her changing body. A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom. Who refuses to use her life-energy disguising the changes in her body and life. Imagine a woman who values the women in her life. A woman who sits in circles of women. Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she forgets. Imagine yourself as this women. Patricia Lynn Reilly Xoxoxo
