What are ombré brows?
Ombre brows are a semi permanent cosmetic tattoo procedure. A machine and fine needle are used to implant the pigment into the upper dermis of the skin. The way in which I implant the pigment creates little pixels. During the appt I layer these pixels to create a powder effect, with the start of the brow being lighter and gradually getting darker towards the tail of the brow. Ombré brows can be tailored to be as soft or as defined as the client would like.
Am I a candidate for ombré brows?
Please read the FAQs and Eligibility page on the website to make sure you are a good candidate for cosmetic tattoos. Ombre brows are suitable for all skin types and all types of brows. They look great with those with a lot of hair, those with very little or those with none. A common misconception is that if you prefer a more “natural” looking brow that micro blading is best. But ombre brows can be customised to be as soft or as defined as you would like.
What happens during the procedure?
After reading all the information provided to you on this website, you can book your appt online. The appt will be pencilled in and a consult form will be sent to you. Once this has been filled out and I have checked you are a suitable candidate the appt will be confirmed. If there are any issues with the form I will be in touch with you. You will then follow the pre care instructions on the lead up to your appt. On the day we will go over your consult form and discuss what you would like to achieve and any concerns or queries. Once you are happy that you are fully informed I will then map a shape to your face. We will work together until you are happy. I will then choose a custom pigment colour that goes with your skin and hair tone. Once decided we will then begin tattooing. Firstly I will tattoo the outline of the shape and then start the shading. Once I have finished my first pass I can then apply numbing cream, although many clients are comfortable enough without the numbing cream. I will then layer the pixels and shading until we have achieved the desired result.

Maintenance and Touch Ups.
Some clients may need a Perfection Visit 8 - 12 weeks from their initial appt to achieve the desired results. After that all cosmetic tattoos need to be touched up anywhere between 1 - 5 years. On average I have found that the average time frame is the 3 year mark. Tattoos are ready to be touched up when they have faded at least 50%. In between touch ups the brows can be maintained and kept looking fresh with wax and dyes/laminations. All pricing for touch ups and brow styling can be found on the website.
