Soft, hair-like strokes that fill gaps and frame your face without looking “done”. Our Feather Touch microblading is designed around your natural brow, your skin type and the look you love.
Not sure which brow technique is right for you? Compare all our eyebrow tattooing styles.
Microblading, which we call Feather Touch brows, is a manual cosmetic tattooing technique. Using a fine hand tool with a row of micro needles, your artist draws individual hair-like strokes into the upper layer of the skin, following the direction of your natural brow hairs. The result is a soft, natural brow that looks like your own hair, just fuller and more even.
You may also hear it called eyebrow feathering, feather touch brows or hair-stroke brows. They all describe the same idea: realistic strokes rather than a shaded, made-up finish.
If we feel another technique will serve your skin or brow goals better, we will always tell you honestly.
Real CTM clients. Every brow is designed for the client’s own face, skin and hair colour, and results vary with skin type and aftercare.
Your microblading is performed by one of our senior artists, in our private St Kilda salon.

No plucking, waxing or shaving is needed before you arrive. We take our time so you leave with a brow you love.
We talk about the look you want, check your skin and natural hair, then measure and draw your new shape. Nothing is tattooed until you are happy with the design.
Your artist creates fine strokes by hand, matched to your hair colour and growth pattern. We always apply numbing cream to keep you comfortable.
Your brows look darker and sharper for the first week, then soften and settle as the skin heals.
Once healed, we check how your skin has held the pigment and add strokes where needed, the Baby Steps way.
Good aftercare is what makes your strokes heal crisp and last. Here is what we ask of you.
At CTM, we guarantee satisfaction through our Baby Steps Method. Rather than rushing to create the boldest, fullest brow in one session, we take a measured, considered approach, building the result gradually so there is no room for error. It is always easier to add to a tattoo than to remove it, and this philosophy ensures every client leaves happy with a result they can grow into confidently.

Eyebrow tattooing typically lasts between 1 and 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle and sun exposure. Hair-stroke techniques like microblading tend to fade sooner than powder or ombré brows, especially on oily skin. We recommend a touch-up every 12–18 months to keep your strokes crisp.
Yes. Microblading, eyebrow feathering, feather touch brows and hair-stroke brows all describe the same technique: fine, hand-drawn strokes that mimic natural brow hair. At CTM we call it Feather Touch microblading.
Both create realistic hair-like strokes, but the tools differ. Microblading uses a manual hand tool with a multi-needle blade and suits dry to normal skin with good natural brow hair. Nano strokes use a digital machine with a single ultra-fine needle, giving more control over depth. This suits a wider range of skin types, including oily skin, and strokes usually heal finer and last longer.
Most clients describe it as mild discomfort rather than pain. We always apply numbing cream before and during your procedure, and your artist checks in with you throughout.
Strokes tend to blur and fade faster on oily or large-pored skin. In that case we usually recommend Nano Brows, Powder Brows or Combination Brows, which hold better. We’ll assess your skin at your consultation and advise honestly.
Often, yes. Old tattoos that have turned grey, blue or red can usually be colour corrected with the right pigments first. If the old pigment is too dark or deep to correct, we may recommend PicoWay laser fading sessions, which we offer in-house, before new strokes are added.
Please contact us before booking if any of these apply to you:
Reactions are rare. If you have a known allergy to nickel, hair dye or latex, we recommend a patch test before your appointment to confirm suitability.
Both place pigment in the skin, but the depth, tools and technique differ. Body tattoos go deeper with a powerful coil machine. Cosmetic tattooing places pigment in the upper dermal layer with finer, gentler tools, creating a soft, natural result designed to complement your face.
