In order for us to determine if you are a good candidate for the cosmetic tattoo procedure, we will need some information.

☑️ Must be at least 18 years old (No exceptions)

☑️ Ever had cosmetic tattoo (microblading included) on the area scheduling a service for before

We don't work over old tattoos done elsewhere unless it is 100% faded or removed first without any scar tissue left behind. You will need to email us some well-lit pictures of your tattoo for approval first to info@repigment.me. In-person consultation might be required since scar tissue is undetectable on the pictures.

If you have hot flashes during the procedure, the pigment will not retain and Marina may have to stop.

☑️ Platelet Disorders-Aggregation Disorders
An aggregation disorder is when platelets do not bind with fibrinogen and other proteins in order to stick to other platelets. As a result, the platelets cannot form a plug to stop the bleeding from a damaged blood vessel.

☑️ Moles/raised areas in or around the brow area
(Pigment will not be put into anything raised. We recommend seeing a dermatologist first and possibly getting it removed prior to the cosmetic tattoo procedure. We can't tattoo over raised pimples either)

☑️ Piercing in the brow area
(Scars can cause the pigment to migrate)

☑️ Deep wrinkles in the brow area
(Pigment will not lay properly in the creases, giving the brow an uneven look)

☑️ Hair transplant for your eyebrows
(Pigment will not take in the scar tissue where the plugs were placed)
