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.

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.
