The Ombré Tattoo Technique uses a machine to provide a soft pencilled in or tinted effect once healed. The fronts of the brows are softer and lighter, gradually becoming more pigmented towardstthe tails of the brows. This technique is suitable for all skin types and can be altered to be more bold, or more natural.
The Combination Tattoo Technique utilizes a mix of microblading/hairstrokes and the ombre technique to create a ‘combination’ of realistic hair strokes and a shaded, well-defined brow. This technique is suitable for most skin types, and can be customised to give more dramatic, or more natural results.
Microblading uses a hand-held device and allows you to achieve realistic looking hair strokes. Due to this, it’s often used to create a soft, fluffy and natural looking brow.
It is important that you prepare for your appointment to promote proper healing, reduce the risk of complications, reduce discomfort and ensure optimal results.
Refrain from active skincare that will thin/sensitise the skin on your face six weeks prior to your appointment. (Retinoids, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids, Chemical Peels etc.)
Do not consume any alcohol, fish oil, caffeine, or take any blood thinners such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen or Niacin 48 hours before your procedure; this may cause excess bleeding and may affect your results. If you are medically prescribed blood thinners and rely on them, please let us know.
It is not possible to tattoo over any blemishes, sores, sunburn or moles in or around the brow area.
Cosmetic botox or fillers should be done two weeks prior or two weeks after your appointment.You will not be able to receive a tattoo service if you are pregnant or planning on pregnancy.
You will not be able to receive a tattoo service if you are prone to keloid scarring.
You will not be able to receive a tattoo service if you have used Vitamin A, within the last six months. (Isotretinoin, Accutane, Retinol)
Post-appointment aftercare: Just like any cosmetic procedure, the full healing process can take much longer than the initial healing process.
The entire healing process can take up to six weeks.
The first ten days are crucial for the healing process, and 90% of your result will depend on how well you look after them.
You must clean your face with fragrance-free make-up wipes or with a damp face washer.
You cannot get your healing eyebrows (soaking) wet for the duration of the initial healing process (7-10 days).You must keep your eyebrows (which are wounds) extremely clean. You can do so by gently wiping them daily with a fragrance-free make-up wipe and micellar water or gently washing them with warm soapy water. Please ensure you pat the area dry with a clean tissue immediately afterwards to ensure the scab doesn’t fall off prematurely.
Aftercare ointment needs to be applied daily (after the initial 48 hours).
You will be unable to exercise for the duration of the initial healing process. Exercising will promote sweating which will cause the pigment to push out of the skin, leaving you with a patchy result.
You cannot be exposed to direct sunlight during this period.
Around five days after your procedure, exfoliation will begin to take place. This means that the top layer of the skin will begin to peel off, leaving a softer, lighter colour below.
After this entire process is completed, you can return back to your normal routine.
As cosmetic tattoos age, the pigments beneath your skin may alter over time.
The pigments initially implanted into your dermis will break down at different speeds; this is because some molecules are harder for your body to metabolise, and some molecules cannot be metabolised at all. If your body is holding onto certain molecules, it is common to be left with hues of colours, which may require neutralisation. Neutralisation is the process of implanting complementary pigments to attempt to bring the colour back to its original state.
After your initial appointment, a complimentary touch up is offere approximately 6-8 weeks after your inital session.
Like any tattoo, sometimes the healing can result in some areas being more or less pronounced, or faded. The touch up is to correct any of these minor imperfections that may occur during the healing process.
After your complimentary touch up, any maintenance touch ups that you'd wish to book will incur an additional fee as specified on the booking system.
