Frequently Asked Questions & Answers


Cosmetic Tattooing often referred to as Permanent Makeup which implies long lasting (3-5 years) has been performed around the world for centuries, now with advancement in technology and techniques there is improved time and minimal discomfort allowing for improved accuracy in design and shaping.

The most popular areas where Cosmetic Tattoo is applied are;

  • Eyebrows

  • Eyeliner, Lash Enhancement

  • Lip-line, Lip-blend and Full Lip

  • Beauty Spot


Who would want Permanent Makeup?
Busy people - mums and Executives with little time to apply and reapply makeup.
Allergy Sufferers - who are sensitive to conventional makeup or hay-fever sufferers who find it difficult to keep on  makeup with sneezing and runny eyes.
Physically Active - sports women, swimmers, and those who frequent the gym or play sport.
Alopecia - those who have lost facial hair.
Asymmetrical Facial Feature - correction of facial features.
Visually or Motor impaired - for women who physically can’t put their makeup on.

What is involved in having a Cosmetic Tattoo procedure?
An initial consultation where I assess your needs and discuss any concerns, together we evaluate colour and I examine how you like to wear your makeup, once you are 100% happy with what we have discussed only then the procedure can begin. A touch up treatment is usually applied after 4 – 6 weeks when any adjustments if needed are made.

How long will it take?
Allow about 2 hours for each treated area, the touch up session often shorter duration. Occasionally only one procedure is required, most often two procedures are required, and rarely three procedures are required. For this reason I believe that charging separately for each procedure is the fairest method for clients, that way you only pay for what you need.

Does it hurt?
There can be some mild discomfort but I use topical anesthetics to ensure there is minimal pain.

Will I need time off work?
Generally not, there is minimal discomfort and swelling, you are however strongly encouraged to follow the aftercare advice and not to wear make up for the first 4 days.

What about sterility?
I use single use sterile disposable needles and wherever possible single use sterile disposable medical supplies in all procedures. My technique has also been assessed by a Registered Nurse to ensure that I am following best practice and complying with recommended guidelines for infection control. Needles are NEVER reused.

How much swelling is there?
Usually there is almost no swelling with eyebrows and minimal swelling of the eyelids and lips.

Is it Permanent?
Most Cosmetic Tattoos last between 3 - 5 years or longer depending on your skin colour and the colour of the pigment used. Some fading will occur over time but the tattoo will generally remain visible for long periods of time, a touch up every 3 – 5 years is suggested to keep your permanent makeup looking at its best.

How do I look after my Cosmetic Tattoos?
I give you an aftercare advice sheet and a cream to be applied 3 times a day for the first week, after that by just wearing a moisturizer with a sun block, and for the lips a gloss or a suitable chap-stick with a sun block.

Are there circumstances when you cannot provide a Cosmetic Tattoo service?
You will be required to complete a short medical questionnaire prior to the procedure, in some circumstances a Cosmetic Tattoo service cannot be provided by CosmeticTattooist.com. e.g. if you are under 18 years of age, if pregnancy is suspected, mothers who are breastfeeding, persons with type 1 diabetes, persons with blood borne communicable diseases are some examples.

What does it cost?
This depends on what treatment you have but starts at just $120 for a beauty spot. The price can be paid in two payments one at the time of the initial treatment and the next at the time of your touch up, or if you pay in full at the time of the first appointment you may be eligible for a discount. If further treatments are required a fee of $110 is charged to cover the cost of equipment & incidentals. Details of prices can be obtained after a free consultation to discuss your needs.

Your face is one of your most important assets, a careful unhurried approach when applying your cosmetic tattoo is always preferable to a hurried or cheap procedure.
