Cosmetic tattooing is a semi-permanent tattoo designed to enhance or balance facial features, fill over plucked or sparse brows or adjust natural colouring. Unlike regular tattoos, cosmetic tattoos are semi-permanent; our body naturally metabolises the pigment with results lasting 1-10 years, although touch ups are recommended 12-24 monthly to keep your colour looking fresh. The tattoo is completed over 2 sessions with the second being just as important as the first.

A topical anaesthetic will be used before and during your treatment.

After all cosmetic tattoo appointments you will be given an aftercare kit that includes instructions and an aftercare cream.

A consultation is required for all cosmetic tattoos as they aren't suitable for every person and can be done by email, FaceTime or in person.

It's important to follow this in preparation for each of your tattooing sessions. Failure to properly follow this will affect your results and may mean we are unable to complete your appointment.

Now that you have a beautiful new set of brows, lash enhancement or lip blush, there are some important things to know in order to care for your brows. Following this aftercare properly will ensure you get the very best results and avoid infection.

Avoid all water, steam, sweat, skincare, SPF and makeup on the area. Apply the aftercare supplied 3-4 times per day with a clean cotton tip (no fingers!). Don't let your tattoo dry out, keeping it moist will help with healing.

Apply aftercare directly before a shower to help create a barrier from steam and accidental splashes.

If you need to clean build up from your tattoo, use a slightly damp cotton pad to very gently dab. Follow this with your aftercare. Don't rub or pick at your tattoo.

Keep your tattoo out of the sun while healing. The sun can affect the healing process as well as the colour of your new tattoo.

Long Term Care.

Applying a sunscreen with SPF-50 when outside and keeping direct sun off your tattoo wherever possible will help to keep it true to colour and from fading prematurely.

Laser treatments and chemical peels MUST NOT be used on the area. If you are having these done you MUST inform the technician about any cosmetic tattoo.

Maintenance.

Your beautiful new tattoo is semi permanent. It is a two session process, after which you will need annual maintenance sessions to keep your tattoo fresh and true to colour.

Fine Line Tattoo.

Your new tattoo will be wrapped before you leave your appointment. Leave this wrap on for 24 hours.After 24 hours you can unwrap your tattoo, wash with an unscented body wash or antibacterial wash.

Air dry or pat gently with clean paper towel before reapplying your aftercare in a thin layer.

Avoid water (other than washing when needed) and sweat for 5 days.Continue to reapply a thin layer of aftercare until your tattoo is completely healed.

When you sleep you may want to wrap your tattoo so that your sheets don’t stick.

By day 4 your tattoo may flake and get a bit itchy.

Don’t scratch or pick your tattoo, let it flake off naturally. Picking at it will result in a patchy tattoo and can cause infection.

Only touch your new tattoo with clean hands.

Avoid exposure to sun until your tattoo is completely healed (then use an SPF to keep it looking fresh and crisp.Let your tattoo pass through peeling phase before you exercise.

Microblading / Feathering

A hand tool is used to implant pigment into the skin creating fine, hair-like strokes through the brow to mimic the natural growth of your brow hairs. Microblading is not suitable for more oily skin types, dense or most over plucked brows.

Ombré Brows

Can vary from a very soft powder look to a full, defined brow and anywhere between. Perfect for those who want to have a naturally fuller appearance or fill their brows regularly. Ombré brows are suitable for all skin types.

Combination Brows

A combination of both microblading and ombré, this style is perfect for those who have over plucked, gaps to fill or need both texture and fullness. It can be done in different styles, with hair strokes at the front only or hairstrokes and ombré through the whole brow.

Your brows will be accurately mapped with a design to suit you and your own personal style. Your brows will be significantly darker for the first 2-3 days after your appointment but will fade to their true colour of the course of the healing process.

After your initial session, a second tattooing session to perfect your brows is done 4-8 weeks later, once your brows have completely healed. Your tattooing appointments will take around 1.5 to 2 hours depending on the style you choose
