The cost ranges between $300 to $450 depending on the complexity and whether multiple sessions are required.

FAQ

How many sessions are required?

A minimum of two sessions are required, with a minimum of a 4-8 week gap in-between. Future colour boosts are recommended every 4-5 years, to keep the colour looking fresh and results long lasting.

Is it permanent ?

Medical tattooing procedures are considered both permanent and semi-permanent. Permanent, because the pigment components will always be in the skin, although not visible to the eye. Semi-permanent, as the colour will fade, and therefore periodical visits are needed to refresh the colour. Factors that contribute to colour fading are: age, exposure to the sun, health, and certain medications.

Can I choose the style and shape?

Yes, absolutely. Just as every person carries their own unique story, belly buttons also come in many different shapes and sizes.

At Resolute Repair Tattoo, we approach each reconstruction with the same individuality. If you have a photo of your original belly button or a reference for your desired shape, we recommend bringing it to your consultation. This helps us design a result that feels natural to your body and true to you.

What is the healing time?


Healing takes approximately 7–14 days. You may experience mild redness and sensitivity in the area, which typically subsides within a few days. You'll be given detailed aftercare instructions to protect your results and support skin healing.

Is the tattoo painful?

Some clients feel no sensation at all, others feel mild discomfort. During your appointment, we can take as many breaks as necessary as numbing cream is not recommended.

Clients say that having a procedure is comparable to having their eyebrows tweezered or their legs waxed.
