FIRST TIME
Thank you for choosing The Orchid Studio! We look forward to working with you. First, here are a few tips on how to prepare for your new ink before visiting.
BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Please book your first appointment or touch-ups using our online booking page for all services.
- If you've had ANY previous work done elsewhere, please email beautwithco@gmail.com clear photos to get approved before booking. All previous work is considered a full service and subjected to an extra charge of $100+ depending on the severity of each case.
- All appointments require a NON-REFUNDABLE deposit to schedule and secure your appointment and will be deducted from the total price. This deposit is to ensure that you are committed to undergoing a cosmetic tattoo and reserves your spot for booking.
- If you cancel your appointment, you will forfeit your deposit. If you miss your appointment (NO SHOW) without giving any notice, you will be charged 100% of the value of your appointment. If you wish to reschedule your appointment you must notify us 72 hours prior to your initial appointment. Failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of your deposit. Please email beautwithco@gmail.com or text/call 403 370 6680 if you need to reschedule or change your appointment time.
- Only one-time rescheduling is allowed. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment your deposit will be forfeited and your appointment will be canceled. If you wish to reschedule, we will require another deposit.

EYEBROW TATTOO PROCEDURE:
PRE-APPOINTMENT:
For best results, we recommend the following:
DO NOT consume caffeine, alcohol or blood thinning medication (ibuprofen, Vitamin A & E, Aspirin, Niacin, Fish oil supplements) for a minimum of 48-72 hours prior to your appointment, to avoid excess bleeding.
It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN/TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure. If you show up for your appointment with a new tan or sunburn, you will need to reschedule and will forfeit your deposit. As your skin exfoliates from a sunburn, it will take the tattoo pigment with it.
Avoid the following cosmetic facial procedures 3-4 weeks before:
- Chemical peels (salicylic acid, glycolic, alpha hydroxy, etc)
- Exfoliation and retinol products.
- Botox and fillers
- Laser facials
- Waxing, tweezing shaving is not needed but if you prefer too, brow shaping should be done 2 days in advance.
APPOINTMENT DAY:
On the day of your appointment, eat a light snack 20-30 minutes before arriving. Please come in with your makeup done so I may assess ho you normally fill your brows in and we will also be taking lots of photos.
What to expect before/during your procedure:
- Consultation & Brow Mapping Design: (30 minutes or until satisfied with design) Please bring photos of tattoo examples for your ideal shape. As artists, we will work with you to design your custom cosmetic tattoo to enhance your natural facial features. A pigment match is then chosen based on your skin tone and hair color.
- Numbing: (15-20 Minutes) Prior to the procedure, a topical anesthetic (5% lidocaine ointment) is applied. We also layer an additional numbing agent between each pass to increase your comfort. Pain is usually minimal but every client is different and will depend on each individuals tolerance.
