Frequently Asked Questions

What is cosmetic tattooing?

Cosmetic tattooing, also known as semi-permanent makeup or micropigmentation, is a technique that uses specialized pigments to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, lips, and eyeliner. Unlike traditional tattoos, cosmetic tattoos use gentler pigments designed to fade naturally over 1-3 years, allowing you to update your look as trends and preferences change.

How long does cosmetic tattooing last?

Longevity varies by treatment area and technique. Eyebrow treatments (microblading, powder brows, ombre) typically last 12-24 months. Lip treatments (lip blush, lip line) last 18-30 months. Eyeliner treatments can last 2-3 years. Factors affecting longevity include skin type, sun exposure, skincare routine, and lifestyle.

Is cosmetic tattooing safe?

Yes, when performed by certified professionals in a sterile environment. At Melbourne Designer Brows, we use hospital-grade sterilization, single-use needles, TGA-approved pigments, and follow strict health department protocols. We also conduct thorough consultations to ensure you're a suitable candidate and discuss any contraindications.

What's the difference between semi-permanent and permanent makeup?

Semi-permanent makeup uses specialized pigments designed to fade over time (1-3 years), allowing natural aging and trend changes. Permanent makeup uses traditional tattoo ink that lasts forever but may fade to unnatural colors. We specialize in semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing for more natural, adaptable results.

Does cosmetic tattooing hurt?

With our continuous numbing protocol, most clients experience minimal to no discomfort. We apply premium topical numbing cream before the procedure AND continuously reapply throughout the entire session—not just at the start like many other studios. This comprehensive approach means most clients rate their comfort level at 1-2 out of 10 (or even 0), and many are so relaxed they actually fall asleep during their appointment. The sensation is typically described as light pressure rather than pain.

What is the healing process like?

Healing takes 4-6 weeks total. Initially, the area appears darker and may feel tender. Light scabbing occurs days 4-10, which naturally sheds. The color lightens significantly during healing, then returns to final result after 6 weeks. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and support throughout healing.

How much does cosmetic tattooing cost in Melbourne?

Pricing varies by treatment: Eyebrow services (microblading, nano, powder, ombre) range from $600-$750. Lip treatments (blush, line, neutralisation) range from $500-$690. Eyeliner treatments range from $350-$750. Touch-up sessions are available 6-8 weeks after your initial appointment for $250.

Can I see before and after photos?

Yes! We have an extensive gallery showcasing real client transformations across all our services. You can view before and after photos on our website gallery, social media (@mdbrowsau), and during your consultation. We're proud of our natural, beautiful results.

What should I do before my appointment?

Avoid blood thinners (alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen) for 48 hours before. Don't get brow waxing, tinting, or chemical peels for 2 weeks prior. Avoid sun exposure and tanning. Come with clean skin (no makeup on treatment area). Eat a good meal before your appointment. Bring headphones if you'd like to listen to music during the procedure.

Can I get multiple cosmetic tattoo treatments?

Yes! Many clients combine services for a complete makeup transformation. Popular combinations include brows + eyeliner, brows + lips, or full face (brows, eyeliner, lips). We can perform treatments on different dates to allow proper healing, or discuss combination packages during your consultation.
