Frequently
Asked Questions

Permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing or micropigmentation, uses tattooing to place pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. At Beautifully Created Ink Co. in Paris, Tennessee, our services include eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip blushing. Results typically last 1–3 years for eyebrows, 2–4 years for eyeliner, and 1–2 years for lip blushing, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

Pricing varies by service and technique. Contact our studio at 205 N. Brewer Street or call (731) 336-3447 for current pricing and to schedule your consultation.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. We use topical numbing agents to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The healing process typically takes 7–14 days, with some flaking and color changes expected. Kelly provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.

Microblading creates individual hair-like strokes for a natural, defined look. Powder brows use a stippling technique for a soft, filled-in appearance — similar to makeup. Combination brows blend both techniques. During your consultation, Kelly will recommend the best approach for your skin type and desired result.

We perform patch tests before any permanent makeup procedure to ensure safety. Kelly reviews your medical history and discusses any skin sensitivities during your consultation. Our professional-grade pigments and sterile techniques are chosen to minimize reaction risks.

Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and caffeine 24 hours before your appointment. Do not tweeze or wax the treatment area for one week prior. Avoid sun exposure and retinoids for two weeks before your procedure. Full pre-care instructions are provided when you book.

A touch-up appointment is typically scheduled 6–8 weeks after your initial procedure. This allows for complete healing and color settling. The touch-up refines shape, adds density, and ensures optimal results. Touch-ups are included in our service packages.

Paramedical tattooing uses specialized techniques to restore natural appearance after medical procedures, trauma, or surgery. At Beautifully Created Ink Co., we offer areola restoration for mastectomy patients and scar camouflage for various scar types. This work helps restore confidence and emotional well-being in a meaningful, lasting way.

Areola restoration recreates the natural appearance of the areola and nipple using advanced 3D tattooing techniques. Kelly works closely with your timeline to ensure proper healing has occurred before the procedure — typically 3–6 months after breast reconstruction surgery. Results are customized to your skin tone and desired outcome.

Scar camouflage can improve the appearance of surgical scars, trauma scars, accident scars, burn scars, and stretch marks. Skin-tone pigments are carefully matched and layered to blend the scar with the surrounding skin. Results vary based on scar type, age, and individual skin tone.

Some insurance plans may cover paramedical tattooing — particularly areola restoration after mastectomy. We provide detailed receipts and documentation for insurance submission. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify coverage before your appointment.

ProCell Microchanneling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny needles to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production and improving product absorption. It's effective for fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.

Treatment recommendations vary based on your skin concerns. Light anti-aging goals may require 1–2 treatments, while deeper wrinkles and scarring may benefit from 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Results are typically visible 2–3 weeks after each treatment.

ProCell Microchanneling effectively treats fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, uneven skin tone, and loss of elasticity. It can be used on both the face and body.

Results can last 2–10 years depending on your age, lifestyle, and skin maintenance routine. Regular maintenance treatments help prolong results and continue improving skin health over time.

Proper aftercare is essential for optimal results. Generally: cleanse and moisturize twice daily for five days using a cotton swab — never fingers — avoid sweating and exercise for 48 hours, and keep the treated area dry. Detailed aftercare instructions specific to your procedure are provided at your appointment.

Avoid applying makeup to the treated area during the initial healing period of 7–14 days. Once fully healed, you can apply makeup normally — though most clients find they need far less than before.

Client satisfaction is our priority. Touch-up appointments are included in our service packages to ensure optimal results. If you have any concerns, contact us as soon as possible to discuss options and find a solution together.
