Brow Tattoos

Cosmetic Brow tattoos are a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and fullness of eyebrows using fine, hair-like strokes or shading. The technique delivers natural-looking results, lasts 1-3 years, and eliminates the need for daily makeup application, giving you beautifully defined brows effortlessly.

How does it work?

STEP 1: Every new service begins with a complimentary consultation to discuss your brow goals, review examples, and recommend the best technique for a natural-looking, healed result.

STEP 2: We will custom blend a color to match your natural tones and show it on your skin, allowing you to confirm your preferred shade.

STEP 3: Your brows will be carefully drawn, shaped, and measured according to your natural features. We won’t proceed until you’re completely happy with the shape.

Please note that during the healing phase (1-2 weeks), your brows may appear darker than the final result. We take a conservative approach during the first treatment, leaving room to go darker or bolder during the touch-up session. A perfecting visit is recommended at 4-8 weeks.

Worried about pain? After booking, you’ll receive a link to order a medical-grade numbing product from our recommended pharmacy. With this, you’ll feel no discomfort.

How long does it last?

A brow tattoo typically lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on several factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and the technique used. Oily skin types may experience faster fading, while dry skin can retain the pigment longer. Sun exposure, skincare products, and how well the brows are maintained also affect longevity. Regular touch-ups, usually recommended every 12 to 18 months, help to maintain the color and shape. The tattoo gradually fades over time, giving clients the option to adjust or refresh their brows as needed.

After care

First 7 Days:
1. No after-pain: Slight tenderness around the treated area is normal.
2. Hygiene: Never touch the treated area with unwashed hands to prevent bacterial infections.
3. Aftercare application: Apply aftercare cream 1-2 times daily, wiping off the old balm before reapplying. Clients with oily skin may apply it less frequently.
4. Avoid excessive moisture: Keep the brows as dry as possible to prevent pigment loss.
5. Shower care: Avoid steamy showers for 7 days, and do not cover the brows with wraps or other materials.
6. Pillowcase: Change your pillowcase regularly to minimize contact with dust and bacteria.
7. Exercise caution: Avoid activities that cause sweating, as sweat can dilute the pigment and increase the risk of infection.
8. Avoid water exposure: Refrain from swimming, using spas, saunas, or taking excessively hot showers.
9. No picking: Do not pick or scratch any flaking skin to prevent removing chunks of pigment.
10. Itch relief: If the area becomes itchy, gently tap it; avoid scratching to maintain pigment integrity.
11. No makeup near brows: Avoid applying makeup near the brows to reduce the risk of bacterial infections.
12. Avoid other products: Keep creams, cleansers, or oils away from the treated area to prevent pigment removal or tone alteration.
13. Sun avoidance: Stay out of direct sunlight during the healing process.
14. Avoid Botox or microdermabrasion for 2 weeks, chemical treatments or laser for 4 weeks, and lip filler for 2 months to prevent pigment loss.
Long-Term Care:
1. Sun protection: Apply sunblock daily to prevent fading and color changes over time.
2. Product caution: Avoid using Glycolic Acid or peels near the brows. Continuous use of active ingredients like Vitamins or AHAs in moisturizers and cleansers can lighten or fade the tattoo color.

I’ve recently starting seeing Ras & I am obsessed with the results I get. The shape is perfect & the colour perfectly compliments my skin tone. The whole vibe of the salon is relaxing and it really allows you to just stop & take some time out. I used to travel an hour each way to get my brows done, but SO glad I’ve found this amazing local gem. 10/10 recommend Sami’s Brow & Lashes.
