How long will brow tattoo swelling last after a Saturday appointment?

Most brow swelling fades by Monday afternoon with gentle aftercare and no gym visits.

Can microshading look natural enough that no one notices it’s there?

Yes, when done with a sheer technique and soft tones, microshading mimics the fullness of real hair without looking like makeup. Slight definition without sharp lines keeps it nearly invisible. Most clients seeking minimal contrast prefer pigment that fades into the skin, not over it. The healed result should not announce itself.

Is there anywhere in Stockport offering PMU with payment instalments?

Some Stockport studios quietly offer split payments through Payl8r or Klarna, especially for returning clients. It’s not always advertised upfront, so it helps to email discreetly and ask. Searches on local deal platforms sometimes hint at it too. Groupon occasionally lists introductory packages with built-in flexibility, ideal when testing a new artist without overcommitting.

Which brows last longer — machine shaded or hand-applied strokes?

Machine shaded brows typically last 12 to 18 months, outlasting hand-created strokes.

How soon after a PMU lip treatment can I attend a birthday dinner?

Ideally, wait 3 to 5 days for most swelling and dryness to ease. For big social events, especially close-up ones, timing is everything. The pigment initially looks darker and lips may feel taut or chapped. Healing varies, but a midweek appointment allows subtle recovery by the weekend without obvious fading around cake photos.
