One of the most common questions I’m asked is if Micropigmentation (Cosmetic Tattoo) is Permanent or Semi-Permanent. We have two main layers to our skin, the Epidermis on the outside, and the deeper Dermis on the inside.  If you scratch your skin and don’t bleed, you are scratching the Epidermis.  If you keep scratching until you bleed, you have reached the Dermis. 

With regular body tattoo, ink is deposited deep into the Dermis.  It can’t get back out, and therefore, body tattoos are permanent. They do fade a little over time and can develop a bluish / greenish hue – we certainly don’t want this for our Eyebrows!  For this reason, when performing Cosmetic Tattoo on the Brows, we only implant the ink into the superficial or upper layers of the Dermis and the lower layers of the Epidermis, that way, it can fade out over time as the skin naturally renews itself, and it won’t get a chance to change colour. This makes them ‘Semi-Permanent’, and an annual top up is recommended to keep them looking fresh.

Semi-permanent eyebrow makeup is generally suitable for most people. However, during your consultation with us, we will evaluate your skin type, eyebrow shape, and other factors to determine if it's right for you.

Yes, the procedure is safe when you choose the right technician who is properly trained, very experienced, has great before and after photos, great reviews and lots of them. They will have studied colour theory and skin undertones and listen to what you want, give you their time, use the best equipment and pigments etc it is very safe. This is not a procedure to go on price.

Healing time is approximately 7 to 10 days, but the final result will not be seen for 3 to 4 weeks.
