I recently had my eyebrows tattooed by Sarah Oliver at Natural You Fort Lauderdale. It is a two-step process, the two appointments are about one month apart. I am due for my second appointment this weekend at which time I plan to also get the eyeliner done.
Sarah is extremely professional - both with her communication via telephone/email while setting up the appointment, the studio is clean and relaxing, and she wore a gown, mask, goggles, and gloves during the entire procedure. She cleaned my entire face with alcohol before starting the procedure and I was impressed at how immaculate the whole set-up was. She even let me take videos while she was tattooing -- my friends were so curious how it's done, I wanted to have something to show them.
Before even starting the tattoo process, Sarah spent over two hours mixing pigments to find the perfect shade for my face. She was never rushed and often mixed and remixed, shaped then reshaped until she was satisfied we found the perfect color and shape for my face. I thought this was really nice, I appreciated that she took her time during the planning phase.
Sarah was conscious of the pain and made sure to numb the eyebrow area really well before diving into the bulk of the tattoo. She had two different types of numbing agents - one was a cream, the other was a spray. After she applied the cream, she waited a good 20-30 minutes until it kicked it fully. Then, she would work a little bit then spray the other numbing agent until I was totally numb. And I will say, after a couple applications of the cream and spray, I was totally numb and didn't feel anything. It was nice to not feel the tattoo on your face!
My tattoos were tattooed in the past by another artist about 10 years ago so it was faded and misshapen. Sarah evened them out to one another and corrected the color as well. I am really happy with the finished product, and am excited to see how they look after the second appointment.
I would totally recommend Sarah's Natural You Studio for your permanent makeup - she is wonderful! Professional, clean, thorough, and very considerate... what more could you want from a cosmetic tattoo artist? read more
