Procedure

Cosmetic tattooing is an in-depth and permanent process, we never rush. We ask you remain patient with us during the process which can take up to 2 hours in total.
Topical anaesthetic is applied to the procedure area upon arrival, whilst an in-treatment anaesthetic is continually applied throughout to keep you comfortable for the entire duration of your appointment.
Immediately after your cosmetic tattoo procedure, you may display mild redness and occasionally slight localised swelling. This usually subsides within 24 hours and should not hinder most normal day-to-day activities.

Your tattoo journey will be over 2 appointments, 6 weeks apart. 

Tattoo longevity is between 9-24 months depending on skin type, beauty regimes, and lifestyle. Touch up appointments usually required at the 2 year mark to revise shape and colour. Results are individual.

FAQ’s

  • We use high quality topical anaesthetics to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Everyone has a different pain threshold; therefore, some people may experience a little more discomfort than others.

    We do everything within our power to ensure you are kept as comfortable as possible.

  • The microblading technique is the process of placing tiny hair-like strokes of colour into the skin using a hand tool that is made up of a row of tiny needles.

    Powder Brow technique is the process of implanting pigment into the skin with a machine, similar to a normal tattoo machine with a needle to mimic pixels of colour like brow powder makeup.

  • Cosmetic tattooing generally lasts up to 2+ years however each skin type will retain the pigment differently. This does not mean that the pigment will be completely faded, your cosmetic tattoo may just need to be refreshed to maintain defined brows year-round.

  • The pigment we use is Perma Blend, an Iron Oxide base pigment that is TGA approved. Specifically manufactured for implantation into human skin, Perma Blend Pigments are also vegan and cruelty free. There are numerous base colours which can be mixed to create a custom colour to you.

    Cosmetic tattoo pigments have been created for using on the face/areola/scalp specifically and are pre-mixed and sterilised, they have been formulated to allow for a ‘fade factor’- this makes them different from tattoo inks used elsewhere on the body.

  • This is different for every client. When we pick a pigment colour for your brows, we take into consideration your skin type, skin undertones, products you use on the skin and your everyday environmental factors. Pigments are either a ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ base and if left to completely fade off tattoos will turn ‘warm’ (orange, red, pink) tones or ‘cool’ (grey, blue, cool brown) tones.

    Cosmetic tattoo pigment colours have been created for use on the face and are pre-mixed and sterilised, they have been formulated to allow for a ‘fade factor’. We recommend touching up your tattoo every 12-24 months.

  • Cosmetic Tattooing is a semi permanent solution to sparse brows, redefining lips and adding depth and shape to the face. As the name suggests, it is semi permanent. Meaning over time your tattoo will fade, it may not completely go away but it will continue to fade and loose shape/definition/colour.

    This is why we recommend to refresh your tattoo every 12-24 months.

  • We maintain our legal requirements for Queensland and hold a ‘Mackay Council Skin Penetration Licence’. All of our Cosmetic Tattooists are trained in advanced techniques and are fully accredited. Our clinic upholds very high standards in infection control and use the latest technology, machines and pigments. We display all of our licensing and certification in clinic so you are able to view this at all times.

  • We recommend you DO NOT exercise until your tattoo has naturally exfoliated or peeled, usually 7-10 days. When we exercise, we increase our body temperature and in order to cool down we perspire (sweat). Perspiration contains salt which can infect your tattoo area. As perspiration comes from inside the skin it can also push the pigment out of the skin, this can result in the pigment not being retained in the skin and the occurrence of premature fading. Even a light workout can cause you to sweat.
