How the session works

  1. 1.

    Consultation and mapping

    We talk through the look, shape and pigment shade. Sam maps everything in pencil before any pigment touches the skin. Nothing is locked in until you approve it.

  2. 2.

    Numbing

    Layered topical numbing for full comfort throughout the session. Lips get a stronger numbing protocol.

  3. 3.

    Pigment session

    60 to 90 minutes of careful, deliberate work using Permablend or Evenflo pigments custom-mixed for your skin tone.

  4. 4.

    Aftercare brief

    You go home with an aftercare kit and a clear day-by-day healing guide. Sam is on WhatsApp if anything comes up.
