Yes, here at Underhill Creations we are fully committed to your safety! We use pre-sterilized and disposable tools as well as hospital grade disinfectant to clean all surfaces and instruments.
NO. Under NO circumstances will I tattoo you if you are pregnant.
When getting tattooed you are putting yourself at risk of infection, stress, lowered immune system, reaction to inks etc. Despite the very small chance of any problems, it is not worth putting your body under unnecessary pressure while pregnant.
Everyone has a different pain tolerance and most clients find it pretty pain free, but we are tattooing your face so please expect to feel some form of pain. A topical aesthetic/numbing cream is applied before procedure and a gel aesthetic is applied throughout procedure to make you as comfortable as possible. Some compare it to plucking, others say its very relaxing and have literally slept through the procedure!
Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before procedure
Do not tan two weeks prior to your appointment or have sunburned face
Do not have any type of facial/peel 2 weeks prior to treatment
Discontinue Vitamin A/Retinol products one month prior to treatment
Do not work out the day of the procedure.
Do not have botox/dysport 3 weeks prior

Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days before the procedure.
In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor colour deposit:
Do not drink alcohol 24 – 48 hours before your tattoo
Do not consume coffee before your procedure
Do not take an aspirin or ibuprofen for pain relief (this thins the blood)

I'm sorry, but due to the nature of our detailed services, we kindly request that you arrive unaccompanied to your appointment. We very strictly do not allow friends, boyfriends, hubbys children, and/or pets to accompany you into the studio. Underhill Creations is a sterile, sanitary environment where we need quiet, focused, still, undistracted time to map & beautify your brows. Anyone else in the studio is a distraction and often causes technicians to run overtime.
You will require a follow up 4-6 weeks after your initial appointment. After that I recommend a colour boost every 12-18 months to maintain its fresh natural appearance.
Yes. You will lose about 40-60% of your cosmetic brow tattoo after one appointment. If you lose more then you may need to check with your Artist about a third appointment. Fading will happen after each appointment.
Usually 2-2.5 hours. In that appointment is the consultation, brow design, tattoo/microblading and aftercare discussion.
No. You are not a good candidate for microblading if you have oily skin as it will appear to soft or not hold at all. Powder/Ombre or Combination is best suited for this type of skin.
Sometimes. We’d have to take a look at it to see. Please email us a picture at underhillcreationsnz@gmail.com or private message us so we can give you our best answer!
