Eyebrow Tattooing · St Kilda, Melbourne
A soft, light front that gradually builds to a richer, more defined tail, just like the way most people fill in their brows with makeup. Polished, flattering brows every day, without the makeup.

Ombré brows combine the best of both worlds: a softer, lighter shade at the front of the brow near the bridge of the nose that gradually builds to a richer, more defined colour toward the tail. The result is a beautiful gradient that mimics the way most people naturally fill in their brows with makeup.
The ombré technique is incredibly flattering, suits all skin types, and gives a result that looks polished without being heavy. It is particularly popular with clients who want definition without a hard, uniform brow.
We’ll look at your skin, natural brows and the look you want, and recommend the technique that will heal best for you.
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.

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.
We always apply numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Your artist builds soft shading that stays light at the front and deepens through the tail, matched to your hair colour and skin tone.
Your brows look darker and more defined 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 depth or shape where needed, the Baby Steps way.
Good aftercare is what makes your ombré brows heal soft and even, 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 colour 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 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure and the technique used. Powder and ombré brows generally hold their colour longer than hair-stroke techniques. We recommend a touch-up every 12–18 months to keep your brows fresh.
Both use soft machine shading rather than hair strokes. Powder brows have an even, soft fill through the whole brow, like a light dusting of brow powder. Ombré brows are lighter at the front and gradually deeper through the tail, for a more defined gradient. We’ll help you choose the right look at your consultation.
Microblading creates fine hair strokes and suits clients who want a very natural, understated result. Ombré brows create soft gradient shading, suit all skin types and usually last longer. If you love the look of brow powder or pencil, ombré brows are often the better choice. If you want strokes and shading together, ask us about Combination Brows.
Your brows will look darker for the first week or so. This is normal, and the colour softens as the skin heals. Because the front of an ombré brow is kept light, the result looks soft rather than blocky, and our Baby Steps Method means we can always add more depth at your perfecting session.
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.
Often, yes. Old brow 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 fresh pigment is 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.
