The short answer is no, and here’s why.

Many of our clients are pleasantly surprised to find that permanent makeup isn’t as painful as they imagined. This is because we use a medical-grade numbing cream that makes sure you won’t feel a thing. Our numbing cream combines three powerful ingredients: lidocaine, benzocaine, and tetracaine. This blend creates an extremely effective numbing effect, providing a comfortable experience, whether you’re getting microblading, lip tinting, or any of our other fantastic services!

That being said, some clients may experience slight discomfort during microblading or similar procedures due to a “scratching” sensation. During microblading, a tool known as a “microblade” is used to make tiny incisions in the skin and deposit pigment. This process sometimes produces a scratch-like sound, which some find uncomfortable, similar to the feeling of nails scratching on a chalkboard.

Overall, permanent makeup and microblading are generally painless procedures when the right numbing cream is applied. While there may be some minor discomfort from sounds during the process, most clients are pleasantly surprised at how little they actually feel. Some of our clients even relax enough to fall asleep while having their permanent makeup done.
