Overview

What is Cosmetic Tattoo?

Cosmetic tattooing (also known as semi-permanent makeup or micropigmentation) uses fine pigment deposits in the skin to create the appearance of fuller, more defined brows. Our ombré brow technique creates a soft, powdery finish that mimics the look of professionally filled brows — suitable for all skin types and brow shapes. Every treatment begins with a detailed consultation to design the perfect brow shape for your face.

The Process

How It Works

Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation and brow mapping to design the ideal shape for your facial structure. A topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort. The pigment is then carefully deposited using a specialised machine, building colour gradually for a natural, dimensional result. A touch-up appointment is included 6–8 weeks after your initial session.

Results & Timeline

Aftercare

Aftercare Instructions

  • Keep brows dry for the first 7–10 days — no swimming, saunas, or heavy sweating
  • Apply the provided aftercare balm as directed
  • Do not pick or scratch any flaking skin — this will affect the result
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds during healing
  • No makeup on the brow area for 10 days
  • Avoid skincare actives (retinol, AHAs) near the brow area during healing
  • Attend your 6–8 week touch-up appointment for optimal results

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ombré brows and microblading?

Ombré brows use a machine to create a soft, powdery, filled-in effect — similar to brow powder makeup. Microblading uses a manual blade to create hair-stroke patterns. Ombré brows are suitable for all skin types (including oily skin) and tend to last longer.

Does it hurt?

A topical anaesthetic cream is applied before and during the procedure to minimise discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching or vibration.

How long does the appointment take?

Your initial appointment takes approximately 2–2.5 hours, including consultation, brow mapping, and the treatment itself. Touch-up appointments take approximately 1.5 hours.

How long do ombré brows last?

Ombré brows typically last 12–18 months before a colour refresh is needed. Longevity depends on your skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine.

Can I choose my brow shape?

Absolutely. Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation and brow mapping session where we design the perfect shape for your face together. We will not proceed until you are completely happy with the design.
