FAQS
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COSMETIC AND TRADITIONAL TATTOOING
The main difference is that the pigment isn’t deposited as deep into the skin therefore isn’t permanent like a full tattoo, and will fade overtime. The longevity of the tattoo is influenced by each individuals skin type, and their skincare routine (AHA use, tanning, Glycolics will fade it faster)
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE SHAPE AND LOOK OF THE BROW TATTOO
We are all about getting the brow to look as similar to what your natural brow should look like. Prior to treatment we will outline, measure and pencil on a brow shape and choose the most suitable pigment colour. We will take into consideration the most appropriate shape and colour to suit your specific facial features, natural brow line, skin tone, hair colour and your desired brow shape and colour.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR THE BROW TATTOOING TO HEAL
6 weeks to see the true healed colour and result. At that time we perform the initial touch up (this service is included in your initial booking payment) to make sure the colour and style is correct. Then we dont need to do anything until we see you again for refresh, anywhere from 1 to 3 years later.
IS BROW TATTOOING PAINFUL
We do use a very good numbing cream so there is not much felt at all. Towards the end of the treatment you may feel some slight discomfort, so please be prepared to feel something.
ARE THERE ANY REASONS WHY I CANT GET BROW TATTOOING
Listed here are some of things to make us aware of. When you book we do send through a thorough consultation form so we can check on any contraindications. This list below does not mean you cannot have tattooing but we need to be aware so we can make an informed decision and make sure you understand how it may affect your brows.
It is important to inform us:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding (X) (we cannot tattoo)
Planning to fall pregnant
If you are under the age of 18 years of age (X) (we cannot tattoo)
Taking medication (of any kind)

Planning to have Cosmetic Surgery

Any internal and/or external factors that you think may effect the tattooing procedure
Have any skin conditions, especially around the brow area, for example, dermatitis or congestion/breakouts in or around the eyebrow
DO I HAVE TO SHAVE MY BROWS OFF TO HAVE THEM TATTOOED
Most definitely not! We want to use as much of your natural hair as possible to keep your brows looking as real and natural as possible. We place the tattoo hair strokes alongside your natural hair to mimic the natural hair and make them look fuller, 0r team this with shading if the hair is very sparse.
HOW LONG DOES THE TATTOOING LAST
We offer 2 different types of pigment. One lasts longer than then the other and we discuss which is best for you at the appointment. As a general rule the tattooing can be touched up again between 12mths and 3years
