Cosmetic Tattoos by Jess

“WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THIS???”

me: explained the healing process 3 times

them on day 4: 🧍‍♀️

peeling = normal
itching = normal

Tattoos heal in stages. Think: dry, itchy flaky, and a little dull before the ink settles. This is completely normal as your body heals and grows new skin cells over the ink. This is the normal healing process — not your tattoo or brows “falling out”

Especially with fine line tattoos + soft, natural brows
softer work = more natural fade = sometimes needing touch ups to build the perfect saturation over time.

and before you plan your next tattoo… remember placement matters:
fingers = high movement + constant washing = faster fading
brows = will flake + heal lighter before the final result settles
arms/legs = better retention

During the first few days avoid: swimming, saunas, excessive heat/water exposure, scrubbing motions, active ingredients.

At shape and shade all body art includes free touch ups within 6 months to build up the perfect level of saturation.

You don't need to have a reason, just an appointment 😌

Not ready for a cartilage piercing? Start here.
Getting your second/third lobes is a great place to start a stack because it's super beginner friendly.

🌟 Most describe the pain level to be a 2/10
🌟 Lobes generally heal around 6 months (12 months for cartilage)
🌟 You can get creative with jewelry options. Once fully healed you can hoop it or use a chain to connect it to your first and second!
