Question 1

How long does a PMU beauty mark last?

Accepted Answer

A beauty mark typically lasts a few years depending on your skin type and lifestyle, with a complimentary perfecting touch up included and a refresh recommended over time.

Question 2

Can I choose where it goes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We design the placement, size and shape with you before we begin so you are happy with the look.

Question 3

How long is the healing process?

Accepted Answer

Initial healing takes about 2 weeks or less for most people. The beauty mark will look dark and dramatic for up to a week before it potentially flakes off, depending on how well your skin retains the pigment. It needs to be carefully cared for and kept clean until the initial healing process is over. After 2 weeks the beauty mark will appear healed but will still take a couple more weeks to fully settle in.

Question 4

How will my beauty mark look right after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Immediately after the treatment it will look much more dramatic and intense than the expected final result. It’s normal for the area to be a little red or swollen and for the mark itself to be dark and defined right afterwards. Once any initial irritation subsides, the beauty mark will be dark and slightly three-dimensional for up to a week until the dark spot gently flakes off. It will take another couple of weeks for the colour to fully settle in as your skin continues to heal.

Question 5

Can I wear makeup over my beauty mark?

Accepted Answer

While it is healing, no. You won’t be able to put any makeup or powder over it for about 2 weeks. The tattooed area needs to be kept clean and free of all beauty products during that time. Once it is fully healed, you absolutely can wear makeup over it.

Question 6

Can you darken a mole as a beauty mark?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately we can’t tattoo over a natural mole. It’s important to be able to detect any colour or shape changes in a mole over time, and tattooing over one would make that difficult. If the spot is at all raised, shiny or has a different texture than the surrounding skin, it is best to leave it alone.

Question 7

Does a beauty mark tattoo hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most clients find it virtually painless. The sensation is often described as a very light tapping or mild warmth, and many people say it is more comfortable than threading or tweezing. The area is small, and the service takes under an hour, so any discomfort is brief.

Question 8

How much does a PMU beauty mark cost?

Accepted Answer

The service is $100 CAD and includes one complimentary perfecting touch up. A $25 deposit is collected at booking and goes toward your total. All appointments are by appointment only.

Question 9

Will it look natural or obviously tattooed?

Accepted Answer

When done well, a cosmetic beauty mark is indistinguishable from a natural one. We match the pigment shade to your skin tone using warm brown tones rather than pure black, which can shift to grey or blue-green over time. The size and shape are also customised so it suits your face specifically rather than looking like a generic dot.

Question 10

What are the most popular placement spots on the face?

Accepted Answer

The most requested spots are above the upper lip (the classic Marilyn Monroe and Cindy Crawford look), on the cheek below the eye, and near the corner of the mouth. There is no single "best" spot as it really depends on your features and what you want to highlight. We discuss placement options with you before anything is applied so you can decide with confidence.

Question 11

Can a beauty mark tattoo be removed or changed if I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

Because the pigment is semi-permanent and sits close to the surface of the skin, it will naturally fade over a few years. If you want it removed sooner, laser tattoo removal performed by a qualified provider can break down the pigment effectively. If you simply want to adjust the size or shade at a touch up, that is also possible as the mark fades. We recommend thinking carefully about placement before your appointment, which is why we review the design together first.

Question 12

Who is a good candidate, and are there any contraindications?

Accepted Answer

Most healthy adults are good candidates. We do ask that you let us know before booking if any of the following apply, as they may affect the service or results. Currently pregnant or breastfeeding Active skin conditions or breakouts in the treatment area On blood thinners or certain medications that affect healing Had facial micropigmentation or a beauty mark done elsewhere previously A natural mole at or near the intended placement spot If you are unsure, book a free online PMU consultation and we can advise you directly.
