Cosmetic Tattooing Melbourne

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. The level of discomfort can vary by procedure area, with eyeliner being slightly more sensitive than lip or brow treatments, but our continuous numbing ensures comfort throughout.

Results typically last 1-3 years depending on the treatment area, your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Lip blushing generally lasts 2-3 years, eyeliner 3-5 years, and brow treatments 1-3 years. Factors that can affect longevity include sun exposure, skincare routines containing exfoliants or retinol, and how your body processes the pigment. Touch-ups are recommended every 12-18 months to maintain optimal results.

We use quality, professional-grade pigments. Every shade is selected or custom-blended at your consultation to suit your skin tone, undertones and the look you want.

The healing process varies by treatment but generally follows these stages: Initial 24-48 hours may involve some swelling and intensity of color; days 3-7 typically include flaking or scabbing as the skin heals; and after 7-14 days, the color will appear lighter as new skin forms. The true color develops over 4-6 weeks as the pigment settles. For lip blushing, expect 3-5 days of swelling and 7-10 days of flaking. For eyeliner, expect 2-3 days of swelling and 5-7 days of flaking. We provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment to ensure optimal healing.

It depends on the look you want and your skin. Microblading draws hair strokes by hand and suits normal to dry skin. Nano brows create hair strokes with a machine and suit most skin types, including oily skin. Ombre (powder) brows give a soft, filled-in gradient and suit all skin types. Combo brows combine hair strokes at the front with shading behind. We recommend the right option at your consultation.
