What Happens During a Permanent Makeup Consultation?

A permanent makeup consultation helps you decide whether cosmetic tattooing fits your features, routine, and expectations before pigment touches your skin. At Sara Justice Cosmetic Tattoo Studio in Atlanta, we use that conversation to narrow the service, shape, color, and level of definition that will look natural on you.

Which Permanent Makeup Service Fits Your Goals?

You might know you want cosmetic tattooing but still feel unsure about which service fits best. We’ll talk about what you put on every day, what tends to smudge or fade, and how subtle or defined you want your results to look once healed.

You can choose from options like permanent eyebrows for sparse or uneven brows, a lip tattoo for softer color and border definition, or lash enhancement for a subtle boost between your lashes. By the end of your cosmetic tattoo consultation, you’ll know which service fits your routine and why.

How Do We Plan Shape and Color?

Permanent makeup should work with your face, even when you’re not wearing other cosmetics. Sara looks at your natural coloring, facial structure, brow or lip shape, skin type, and your usual makeup style before recommending a design.

Bring photos when they show a look you genuinely wear, but expect the plan to be adapted. A brow shape or lip shade that suits someone else may not balance your features. Sara brings more than 20 years of cosmetic tattoo experience to this planning process.

What Should You Discuss Before Booking?

Micropigmentation places pigment into your skin, so it’s important to have an honest safety conversation during your consultation. Cleveland Clinic recommends talking about your expectations, skin tone and texture, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and any prior procedures at this stage.

Come prepared to mention:

• Previous cosmetic tattoos, microblading, or tattoo removal
• Skin sensitivities, allergies, or a history of raised scars
• Current medications or recent facial treatments
• Upcoming travel, events, exercise, or swimming plans
• The maintenance and touch-up care you’re comfortable with

Your answers help us see if you’re ready to book, need to wait for a better time, or should check in with a healthcare professional first.

What Will You Learn About Healing and Results?

Your consultation gives you a clear idea of what to expect from the first session, early healing, color changes, aftercare, and any possible refinements. Permanent makeup can fade over time and may need touch-ups in the future. Because removal isn’t easy, it’s important to think through your design before you book.

The FDA recommends thinking about infection, allergic reactions, pigment concerns, and removal challenges before getting permanent makeup. We’ll walk you through our studio process and give you clear instructions for your service, but you’ll need to follow aftercare closely for the best results.

FAQ

Do I need to know exactly what I want?
No. Bring your goals and examples of what you like. We can help you compare services and refine the look.

Can I book the procedure for the same day?
Availability and candidacy vary. Some clients may need more planning, healed prior pigment, or medical clearance before treatment.

Should I wear makeup to the consultation?
You can. Your usual makeup can show Sara how you normally shape your brows, define your eyes, or color your lips.
