BROW TATTOO
What is a Cosmetic Brow Tattoo? Cosmetic brow tattooing is a semi-permanent procedure designed to define and shape your natural brows.Cosmetic brow tattooing is a semi-permanent treatment designed to enhance your natural brows with soft, realistic definition and shape. Whether you’d like to fill in sparse areas, create more symmetry, or enjoy a polished, ‘ready-to-go’ look every day, this treatment offers a personalised solution just for you.
Each set of brows is carefully tailored to your unique facial features, skin tone, and personal style, ensuring they complement your natural beauty perfectly. With a focus on precision, artistry, and comfort, Kirsty creates long-lasting brows that save you time each morning and keep you feeling effortlessly confident from day to night.
STYLES OFFERED
- NANO COMBINATION BROWS combine ultra-fine, hair-like strokes with soft shading to create a balanced look that’s both polished and natural. This advanced technique is perfect if you want the realistic appearance of natural brow hairs, but with added density and definition. Ideal for most skin types, Nano Combination Brows provide long-lasting, effortless results with subtle hair strokes at the front and a softly shaded finish through the body and tail.
- OMBRE BROWS offer a modern, makeup-inspired finish with a flawless gradient effect — softly shaded at the front and gradually deepening in colour towards the tail. This style mimics the look of perfectly applied brow powder or pencil without the daily effort. It’s ideal if you prefer a more defined, structured brow or want maximum longevity from your tattoo. The result is crisp, symmetrical brows with a velvety finish that stay beautifully in place, rain or shine.
How Long Do Brow Tattoos Last? Both Ombre and Nano Brow styles typically last between 2–3 years, with Ombre generally lasting a little longer. The exact duration depends on your skin type, age, and environmental factors. Annual touch-ups are recommended to maintain colour and definition over time.
Pain Relief for brow tattooing usually range from 0 to 4 out of 10, with 10 being the most painful. To ensure your comfort, a topical anaesthetic supplied through our pharmacist is applied before the procedure. These creams, often containing lidocaine and tetracaine, work by blocking nerve signals in the skin to numb the area. Full numbing effect takes about 30 minutes, but relief can begin within 10 minutes.
How Long Does the Treatment Take? Your appointment typically lasts between 2.5 to 3 hours. This includes a detailed consultation and review, brow mapping and final colour selection, the tattooing process itself, and aftercare instructions to ensure the best healing and results.
What is a Touch-Up Appointment? The touch-up is to support the longevity of your new tattoo, we strongly recommend a touch-up 6–8 weeks after your initial appointment. This session allows for subtle refinements to shape, pigment intensity, and symmetry.
What is a Colour Boost Appointment? Whilst the brow tattoo will typically last 2-3 years, we have optional colour boost appointments designed to refresh and enhance the pigment of your brows. Intended for clients who want to intensify or adjust colour.
