Eyebrow tattooing is ideal for women who like a more defined look or filled in brow. Those who are used to applying pencil, can do any activity without the embarrassment of losing their brows.

This non- invasive, innovated procedure will instantly take years off, and save hours of frustration trying to draw your own eyebrows. You will no longer need to tint, wax, thread as your tattoo is a guide for where to pluck.

Eyebrow tattoos are a fantastic way of achieving the ‘open eye’ effect, which creates the appearance of a facelift.

For creating the perfect brow, CTM works with your natural brow shape to create a subtle and natural look. Eyebrows are naturally asymmetrical, but we want to compromise with your natural growth, without losing too much hair. Waxing off or completely tattooing so far out of the natural growth can devastate someone that has a good brow base.

We offer multiple styles. We will help you decide on the day based on your natural brow.

Feather-touch–Micro-blading is a technique whereby fine strokes penetrate the skin to create a natural hair-like finish.

Powder Brow is a soft and natural look that suit most clients. Although most clients are into the idea of the feather stroke, a soft and shaded powder brow looks amazing on all. Great for girls wanting a more defined brow to highlight their eyes more.

Ombre Brows have been a huge trend in makeup and tattooing. We create a softer shaded tattoo at the bridge of the nose, continuing on with a bolder brow for definition.

Corrections can fix that discoloured pigment or unwanted shape that is not perfectly symmetrical. Therefore, you always want to do your research before going to a cheap or unqualified tattooist. If we cannot rectify the previous tattoo, fading sessions are available to help ease the pigment base.

Too many options? Book in or call us for a consultation.

* No plucking, waxing or shaving of the hair will be required before your procedure. We will simulate your preferred brow shape, then remove any unwanted hair with your permission that is not within the design of the tattoo.

* Cosmetic Tattoo can be a fantastic investment in saving money elsewhere, as most clients find that ongoing tinting, waxing or threading is not needed as your tattoo will act as a guide for where to pluck.

CTM guarantees satisfaction with the “Baby Steps Method” technique. Rather than rushing into having overly thick eyebrows. This method ensures that there is no room for error. It’s always easier to add to your tattoo rather than having to remove it later.

Colour Brow corrections

Grey Brows: If the brows appear grey, they can be neutralized with pigments containing orange, turmeric, or red tones. These tones can help counteract the grey and bring the brows back to a brown color.
Blue Brows: If the brows appear blue, it indicates that the tattooist used a blackish pigment that went too deep into the dermis. Corrective measures could involve using red pigments to counteract the blue, or alternatively, using a Picoway laser treatment to remove the tattoo and start fresh.
Red Brows: If the brows appear red, they can be corrected by neutralizing the red tones with a greenish hue, which can help bring them back to a brown color

Absolutely, corrections can address various issues such as discolouration, asymmetry, or unwanted shapes in eyebrow tattoos. It’s crucial to conduct thorough research before selecting a tattooist to ensure they are qualified and experienced in performing such corrections. Choosing a cheap or unqualified tattooist can lead to unsatisfactory results and potentially costly corrective procedures.

Picoway laser: In cases where the previous tattoo cannot be rectified with Picoway, fading sessions can be a helpful option. These sessions can help ease the pigment base, making it easier to cover up or modify the existing tattoo. We specializes in corrective procedures to determine the most suitable approach based on the specific circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whats the difference between Nano Machine Hairstrokes & Microblading?

Nano Machine Hairstrokes and Microblading are both techniques used in cosmetic tattooing to create realistic hair-like strokes for eyebrows. The primary differences lie in the tools and methods used:

Tool Used:
- Nano Machine Hairstrokes: Utilizes a single nanoneedle in a machine to create precise individual hair strokes.
- Microblading: Involves a manual hand tool with a blade made up of multiple microneedles to create strokes.
Suitability for Skin Types:
- Nano Machine Hairstrokes: Tends to be more suitable for oily skin types due to its precision and ability to control pigment depth.
- Microblading: Might not be as effective on oily skin as there could be challenges in controlling pigment depth.
Accuracy and Control:
- Nano Machine Hairstrokes: Offers more accuracy and control over the depth of the pigment, reducing the risk of it being implanted too deeply.
- Microblading: Relies on the artist’s manual skill, which might lead to variations in stroke depth.
Additional Techniques:
- Nano Machine Hairstrokes: Can include Nanoshading, adding a subtle shading effect to the strokes.
- Microblading: Focuses primarily on creating hairstrokes without incorporating shading techniques.

Ultimately, both techniques aim to achieve natural-looking eyebrow enhancements. Choosing between Nano Machine Hairstrokes and Microblading may depend on factors such as skin type, desired results, and the expertise of the artist. Researching and consulting with a professional can help determine the best option for achieving your desired eyebrow appearance.

How permanent is cosmetic tattooing?

Cosmetic tattooing, including procedures like microblading or permanent makeup, typically lasts between 1 to 5 years, depending on various factors:

Area Treated: Different areas of the body might retain pigment differently. Facial areas, like eyebrows or lips, might fade quicker due to exposure to the elements.
Client’s Age and Skin Condition: Younger skin might retain pigment better than older skin. Skin conditions or treatments can also affect the retention of pigment.
Lifestyle Choices: Sun exposure, skincare routines, and certain habits can impact how quickly the tattoo fades. Regular sun exposure without protection, for example, can expedite fading.
Pigment Used: Quality of the pigment and its compatibility with the skin can affect the longevity of the tattoo. (WHICH WE DO)!

Touch-up procedures are commonly recommended to maintain the vibrancy of the tattoo. For eyebrow microblading or similar procedures, touch-ups may be needed every 1-3 years to refresh the color and strokes. For cosmetic tattoos on other areas, touch-ups might be required every 3-5 years.

It’s essential to follow aftercare instructions provided by the artist and protect the tattooed area from excessive sun exposure to extend the lifespan of cosmetic tattoos. Consulting with a professional artist can also provide personalized information about the expected longevity of a specific procedure.

Should I expect there to be pain involved?

The sensation will vary according to each individual. Most people experience very little or no pain whatsoever. Topical anesthetic is applied for all procedures and liquid anesthetic is run through the tattooing device during the procedure. Panadol can be taken 45 min prior to the procedure to minimize sensitivity. Some clients are so relaxed, they even fall asleep during the procedure. Note: If you have your menstruation cycle, sick, extremely run down or hangover, there may be slight discomfort with the procedure.

Is there a choice of colour?

We offer an extensive spectrum of colours to suit every client’s requirements, from soft natural pigments to more dramatic options.

How long is recovery?

After the procedure, your tattoo may not appear perfectly symmetrical due to slight swelling. However, there is no need to worry as this will subside once the swelling goes down. Initially, the colors may appear darker, brighter, and more defined. Don’t be alarmed if the colors lighten and soften in 3-7 days. Please be patient and avoid judging the true color until week 4. Remember, the color may vary during the healing process, and it’s normal to lose up to 50% of the color in the first session. Rest assured, we have a perfecting session to address any concerns.

Looking after your tattoo

For the first 5 days -a avoid water on your tattoo.
Dry Healing brings out the best results. If advised by the tattooist, put aftercare ointments provided 1-2 times a day or just when needed. (Keep in mind, other tattooist may have different ways of instructing on aftercare. We believe in dry healing if told otherwise)
AVOID for 2 weeks: NO soap, cleansers, swimming, sun, saunas, makeup and excessive and 7 x days sweating with exercise
No scratching or picking, just tap the area if itchy, as you don’t want to scratch pigment away.
No facials, Botox, chemical treatments, or microdermabrasion for 4 weeks
You cannot donate blood for 6 months following any cosmetic tattoo procedure.
Change your pillowcase to avoid any contact with dust or bacteria.

LONG TERM

Apply sunblock daily. Exposure to the sun over time can cause fading and colour change.
Avoid Glycolic Acid or peels if you want to keep your tattoo. Anything with active ingredients will lighten the colour with continuous use.
Check moisturisers and cleansers as they can also fade tattoo colour if they contain vitamins or AHA’s.

What's the difference between the traditional tattooing process and permanent makeup?

Both of these procedures involve tattooing the skin. The difference is the machine used, the depth of implantation and the pigments used.

In traditional tattooing, a pigment is added to the third layer of the skin, the subcutaneous. Where in permanent makeup the pigment is added to the second layer of the skin called the Dermis, creating a final result of a soft blend of colour to the tattooed area.

Body tattooist also use a coil machine which is more powerful and not gently for the face.

Can I suffer from allergic reaction?

If you have ever been allergic to nickel, hair dyes, or latex it is best to have a test patch done in order to determine whether you could suffer from allergic reaction to the pigment.

To prepare for your tattoo

• Avoid tinting, henna and lamination, as we need to see the natural colour and shape of your brows for at least 2 -3 weeks prior
• If you draw on your brows daily, best to apply them on the day of the procedure so we can assess your style.
• No lasers, Botox or chemical peels before the procedure, wait at least a month.
• Best to avoid alcohol 24 hours before and caffeine the day of the procedures.
• Stop taking any blood thinners one week before.
Exfoliate your brows before the treatment,

What to know:

• With brows, best to get them done 2 weeks at least before any holiday or major event or sporting events.
• There’s no downtime with lips or eyeliner, very minimal swelling only for up to 1 day. No real scabbing with Nano tattooing.
• Please read aftercare instructions for more info.

Contradictions on why I may not be eligible and aftercare information

Absolutely, preparing for your service is crucial for the best outcome. Here’s a breakdown of what to keep in mind:

Before your treatment:

Avoid consuming coffee, alcohol, or energizing drinks on the day of your appointment.

Be cautious about undergoing laser treatments, chemical peels, or other medical procedures on the facial area if it might affect the tattooed area.
Factors like keloid scarring, recent Botox treatments (wait at least 2 weeks for the brow area pre and post-tattooing), pregnancy, breastfeeding, steroid or hormone replacement therapy, undergoing chemotherapy (only in remission), active dermatitis, or being under the age of 18 may impact your eligibility for the procedure.
