With a range of different techniques, we can create the most natural eyeliner for your everyday eyeliner look, thick, thin, smokey or wing, it is up to you. Whether you are someone who wears eyeliner daily, swims or if you hit the gym and want sweat proof eyeliner, this treatment is for you!
Eyeliner tattooing is designed to suit each client’s individual needs and is never approached as a ‘one size fits all’. You as the client have the choice in terms of eyeliner thickness and whether or not you would like to add a wing (‘a wedge’). You also have the option to have the eyeliner done on the top, bottom or both. Your Cosmetic Tattooist will guide you through the design process and inform you on the most flattering options for your facial features.
This technique is perfect for those wanting to achieve a more defined eye area, providing an easy guide for when applying the rest of your makeup.
This technique is done by tattooing along the lash line in-between each natural eyelash to make the lashes appear fuller than they naturally are.
The lash enhancement technique is perfect for those who desire the look of a full lash line without having to apply makeup.

Who is a Cosmetic Tattooing treatment not suitable for?
What should I bring to my consultation appointment?
Just yourself – however if you have a favourite brow pencil / lip pencil that you like the colour of, you can bring this along to the appointment to give us the best idea of what you use in your day to day life. If you have collected photos that you like the look of or ‘don’t’ like the look of, this can be helpful as well.
Does cosmetic tattooing hurt?
We use high quality medical grade topical anaesthetics to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Everyone has a different pain threshold; therefore, some people may experience a little more discomfort than others. We do everything within our power to ensure you are kept as comfortable as possible.
Can I have my eyebrows waxed on the day of my tattoo?
No waxing/plucking is allowed on the day of your procedure. As a part of your Cosmetic Tattoo journey, we look after all of your waxing needs.
What happens to my eyebrow hair?
Nothing! We move your eyebrow hair throughout the procedure when implanting the pigment into the skin.
Can I have tattooing if I have no hair?
For clients that have little to no natural hair, our advanced artists are highly skilled to perform procedures with or without hair present in the eyebrow area.
How many treatments do I need?
Two treatments are usually needed, 4 weeks apart. With most procedures, the colour fades 30-50% initially. For the second treatment, our Cosmetic Tattooist gauges the colour retention and how you are feeling with the colour before making any adjustments.
What is the difference between microblading and powder brow?
The microblading technique is the process of placing tiny hair-like strokes of colour into the skin using a hand tool. Powder brow technique is the process of implanting pigment into the skin with a machine, similar to a normal tattoo machine with a needle.
How long does Cosmetic Tattooing last?
Cosmetic Tattooing generally lasts 1-2 years however each skin type will hold the pigment differently.
How do I make my Cosmetic Tattoo last longer?
Ensure you use SPF daily and avoid your tattoo area where possible with facial peels, Vit A and sun exposure.
What are the pigments used?
The pigment used is based on Iron Oxide, a safe non-reactive substance and are also vegan and cruelty free. We use pigment from a reputable manufacturer in the USA that are all tested and proven for over ten years. Cosmetic Tattoo pigment colours have been created for using on the face and are pre-mixed and sterilised, they have been formulated to allow for a ‘fade factor’, this makes them different from tattoo inks used elsewhere on the body.
What colour will the tattoo fade to?
This is different for every client. When we pick a pigment colour for you, we take into consideration your skin type, skin undertones, products you use on the skin and your everyday environmental factors. Pigments are either a ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ base and if left to completely fade off tattoos will turn ‘warm’ (orange, red, pink) tones or ‘cool’ (grey, blue, cool brown) tones.
What if I’m not local for the consultation?
If you are not local that is completely fine, we can arrange a video meeting to do a consultation. We can then proceed to book your appointments well in advance so that you can plan your trips to the clinic for your appointments.
What if I am unsure what shape / thickness?
Our advanced artists are highly skilled in Cosmetic Tattooing, we pride ourselves in ‘mapping out’ the treatment area to create an individualised shape. ‘Mapping out’ means we use your facial structure and measurement tools to assist in finding a shape that is perfectly suited to YOU. By using our mapping technique and drawing on your personalised shape we can provide you with a visual guide. This guide allows us to show you different shapes and thicknesses prior to your tattooing.
Can I have Eyelash Extensions on with eyeliner tattooing?
For various reasons, we do not allow eyelash extensions on for your eyeliner procedures.
How do I know you are safe and properly qualified?
We maintain our legal requirements for Queensland and hold a ‘Skin Penetration Licence’. All of our Cosmetic Tattooists are trained in advanced techniques and are fully Accredited. Our clinic upholds very high standards in infection control and use the latest technology, machines and pigments. We display all of our licensing and certification in Clinic, so you are able to view this at all times.
Can I exercise as per normal after my appointment?
We recommend you DO NOT exercise until your tattoo has naturally exfoliated or peeled, usually 7-10 days. As perspiration comes from inside the skin, it can also push the pigment out of the skin, this can result in the pigment not being retained and the occurrence of premature fading.
Can I wear makeup after my tattoo appointment?
We recommended to avoid make-up on or near the tattoo until the natural exfoliation or peeling has finished, usually 10 days.
If I have/had cancer can I get Cosmetic Tattooing?
Cancer survivors will need to wait 6 months post remission before having Cosmetic Tattooing performed, you will need to obtain medical clearance from your oncology specialist.
