Brow Tattooing
We use 3 different methods of Cosmetic Tattooing for eyebrows. All last 1-2 years, however colour will still be seen on the skin for many years with shape / colour adjustments being required around the 2 year mark.
You can choose on the day if you are looking for microblading (feathering/hair stroke), powder brow or a blend of the two using our combination technique.
MICROBLADING
This technique uses a hand tool to perfectly place super fine natural hair strokes into the skin. Ideal for select dry skin types.
POWDER BROW
A pixelated shading which goes from light to dark using a tattoo machine to give a soft post-tint effect. We completely customise this so you can have the shading as dramatic or soft as you like. *our personal fav
COMBINATION BROWS
This technique combines microblading and powder brow shading. Microblading technique is used at the front of the brow to create a soft fluffy appearance, we then softly shade the mid brow towards the tail using the tattoo machine to give definition to the ends of the brows.
Fell free to bring along your favourite brow pencil / powder if you would like a colour matched. Otherwise you can leave it in the hands of the professional!

Pre Care
Your tattoo journey will be over 2 appointments, 6 weeks apart. Pre care applies to both appointments individually.
Avoid sun / UV prior to your tattoo procedure for 30 days.
DO NOT drink alcohol 24hrs prior to your tattoo procedure.
DO NOT drink caffeine the day of your appointment if it makes you agitated / anxious. You will be lying down for a long period of time.
No skin treatments for 2 weeks prior to your tattoo procedure.
No LED light therapy for 3 days either side of your tattoo procedure.
Stop use of prescription strength retinol products 3 months prior to your tattoo procedure.
No anti-wrinkle injections for 2 weeks prior, it takes 2 weeks to fully see the results of muscle relaxants and your facial features may change in this time. Fillers greatly change the face / lip shape therefore, filler must have completely settled prior to any Cosmetic Tattooing. We recommend you wait 4 weeks after having filler before Cosmetic Tattooing.
Blood thinning medications that require a prescription for example Warfarin, must be ceased a minimum of 72hrs prior to your tattoo procedure. You will need medical clearance from your Doctor prior.
Blood thinning medications that do not require a prescription (Aspirin, Fish Oil) must be ceased 72hrs prior to your tattoo procedure.
In any case where you are suffering a non-contagious skin condition, you should seek medical treatment and obtain clearance from your Doctor before any Cosmetic Tattoo procedure can resume / start.
Aftercare
Printed aftercare instructions and an aftercare kit will be provided to you.
The treatment area is to be kept clean and free of any water, sweat or products until the peeling is finished (10 days). With the exception of the tattoo wash provided, which is to be used morning and night as directed, followed by the balm provided.
Expect colour to fade 30-50% once healed.
No makeup is to be worn on the brows until completely peeled (7-10 days).
NO exercise for 10 days (sweat can cause premature fading of your tattoo pigment).
Exfoliation / peeling is a part of the healing process, do not agitate skin by picking, itching or irritating it.
It will be 4 weeks before the true colour of your tattoo appears.
No skin treatments for 2 weeks post your tattoo procedure (ie. peels, dermaplaning, skin needling).
No anti-wrinkle / filler injections for 4 weeks post your tattoo procedure
Avoid direct sun exposure during the healing process of your tattoo,
Apply SPF to your procedure area once peeling has finished, this is to protect your new skin and tattoo.
Avoid the use of skincare products containing any resurfacing ingredients i.e. AHA/BHA, retinoids, hydroquinone for 10 days. After this time avoid the lips with the product to prevent premature fading.
DO’s & DON’Ts
Please remember your tattoo is an open wound. Keep it clean, avoid makeup and follow aftercare precisely.
DO
wash you hands before applying balm or use a cotton tip
sleep on a clean pillow case
let the flaking skin peel naturally when healing
follow all aftercare advice and use only aftercare products provided to you for 10 days
DON’T
get your tattoo wet for a long time in the shower
pick at the flaking skin - the goal is to let it come away naturally. Premature pulling off of scabbing will result in patchy healing
expose your tattoo to UV rays, including tanning beds
sweat until tattoo has finished lifting / peeling
touch your tattoo with dirty fingers
