Cosmetic tattooing

Ombré / Soft Powder Brows

2 hrs $700

Book now

Ombré or Soft Powder Brows create beautifully shaped, fuller and more defined brows with a soft, natural powdered finish. Pigment is gently layered into the skin and can be customised from subtle and natural to more defined.

Your initial session includes a consultation, custom colour selection and precise brow mapping before the brows are tattooed.

Brows will appear darker initially before softening as they heal. A perfecting touch-up is required at 6 weeks to refine the shape, colour and pigment retention.

Results typically last 1-3 years before a colour refresh is needed. Oily skin types may fade more quickly and generally require more regular touch-ups to maintain their results.

  • Avoid retinol, exfoliating acids, scrubs and strong active skincare around the brows for seven days.
  • Do not wax, tint, thread or laminate your brows during the week before your appointment.
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and arrive without sunburn, irritation or broken skin.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and limit caffeine on the morning of your appointment.
  • Do not stop prescribed medication without speaking to your doctor.
  • Please tell me about medications, allergies, skin conditions or previous cosmetic tattooing before your appointment.

  • Your brows will initially look darker and more defined than the healed result. Mild redness, tenderness, flaking and uneven-looking colour are normal during healing.
  • Follow the cleansing instructions provided and use only a clean, damp cotton pad on the area.
  • Apply the supplied aftercare balm sparingly as directed.
  • Keep makeup, active skincare and facial treatments away from the brows for 10 days.
  • Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, heavy sweating and prolonged water exposure for 10 days.
  • Do not scratch, rub or pick at flaking skin.
  • Once fully healed, apply SPF to help prevent premature fading.
  • Your perfecting appointment is recommended at approximately four to six weeks.

At your follow-up, we will assess colour retention, symmetry, softness through the fronts, tail definition and any areas requiring additional coverage.

Cosmetic tattooing

Lip Blush

2 hrs $700

Book now

Lip Blush is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo designed to enhance your natural lip colour, shape and definition. It can help improve symmetry, create the illusion of fuller lips and give a more even, youthful appearance. Your colour is completely customised, and you’re welcome to bring along your favourite lipstick for colour inspiration.

Your initial session includes a consultation, custom colour selection and careful lip mapping before pigment is gently layered into the lips.

Lips will appear brighter and more vibrant immediately after treatment and are typically swollen for the first 24 hours. The colour will soften significantly as the lips heal, revealing a more natural result.

A perfecting touch-up is required at 8 weeks to refine the colour, definition and any areas requiring additional pigment.

Results typically last 2-3 years before a colour refresh is needed, depending on lifestyle and individual pigment retention.

Important: Lip tattooing can trigger a cold-sore outbreak. If you have a history of cold sores, please discuss preventative antiviral medication with your doctor before your appointment. This may be recommended before both your initial treatment and your 8-week perfecting session.

  • Keep your lips well hydrated during the week before treatment.
  • Gently exfoliate dry lips two to three days beforehand, but do not exfoliate irritated, cracked or broken skin.
  • Lip blush can trigger the cold-sore virus, even if outbreaks are infrequent. If you have ever had a cold sore, speak with your GP or pharmacist about preventative antiviral medication.
  • Begin the antiviral medication before your appointment and take it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
  • Your appointment cannot proceed if you have an active cold sore, tingling that may indicate an outbreak, infection, severely cracked lips or irritation.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and limit caffeine on the morning of your appointment.
  • Allow adequate healing time between lip filler and lip blush. Please check the timing with your injector and cosmetic tattoo artist.
  • Please disclose medications, allergies, previous cold sores, previous lip tattooing, and recent dental or injectable treatments.

  • Lips are typically swollen and may feel tender during the first 24 hours. The colour will initially appear much brighter and deeper before softening considerably as it heals.
  • Continue taking your antiviral medication for the full course prescribed by your GP or pharmacist. Do not stop early simply because your lips appear to be healing well.
  • Keep the lips clean and apply the supplied balm using clean hands or a disposable applicator.
  • Do not pick, peel or bite flaking skin.
  • Avoid lipstick, gloss and unapproved skincare products until the surface has healed.
  • For the first few days, avoid very hot, spicy, salty or acidic foods if they cause discomfort.
  • Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, heavy sweating and prolonged sun exposure while healing.
  • Drink carefully and gently clean the lips after eating.
  • Once healed, regularly use a lip balm containing SPF to reduce fading.
  • Your perfecting appointment is recommended at approximately eight weeks.

If you notice cold-sore symptoms such as tingling, burning or blistering, contact your GP or pharmacist promptly and let me know. Preventative antiviral medication reduces the risk of an outbreak but cannot guarantee one will not occur.

At your follow-up, we will assess overall colour retention, border softness, symmetry, cool or warm areas and whether any patches require additional pigment.

Cosmetic tattooing

Eyelash Enhancement

1 hr $390

Book now

Eyelash Enhancement is a subtle cosmetic tattoo designed to create the appearance of a fuller, darker lash line while beautifully defining the eyes. Unlike traditional eyeliner, pigment is placed delicately along and between the lashes for a soft, natural result without an obvious makeup look.

Your initial session includes a consultation to discuss your desired result before the lash line is carefully mapped and pigment is gently implanted.

Eyes may be slightly swollen or tender immediately after treatment, typically settling within the first 24-48 hours. The colour will initially appear darker and more defined before softening as it heals.

A perfecting touch-up is required at 2-4 weeks to refine the colour and ensure an even, beautifully defined lash line.

Results typically last 2-3 years before a colour refresh is needed, depending on skin type, lifestyle and individual pigment retention.

Eyelash Enhancement is perfect for anyone wanting effortless everyday definition, the appearance of fuller lashes and naturally enhanced eyes without the need for daily eyeliner.

  • Remove contact lenses before treatment and bring glasses to wear home.
  • Arrive without mascara, eyeliner, eye makeup or false lashes.
  • Eyelash extensions must be removed before your appointment.
  • Avoid lash tinting or lifting immediately before treatment.
  • Stop using lash-growth serum before your appointment according to the timeframe advised during your consultation.
  • Your appointment cannot proceed if you have an eye infection, conjunctivitis, stye, significant irritation or broken skin around the eyes.
  • Please tell me about eye conditions, previous eye surgery, allergies, medications or previous cosmetic tattooing.

  • Mild swelling, tenderness and a slightly heavier-looking lash line can be expected initially. The colour will soften as the area heals.
  • Keep the area clean by gently cleaning with a slightly damp cotton pad morning and evening.
  • Do not rub, scratch or pick at the lash line.
  • Avoid eye makeup and contact lenses for at least 24-48 hours, or longer if the eyes remain sensitive.
  • Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, heavy sweating and prolonged water exposure while healing.
  • Do not use lash-growth serum, strong active skincare or lash treatments near the area until it has healed.
  • Wear sunglasses outdoors, but avoid pressure or rubbing against the treated skin.
  • Your perfecting appointment is recommended at approximately 2 weeks.

At your follow-up, we will assess evenness, colour retention, lash-line continuity and whether any small gaps require perfecting.

Seek medical advice promptly if you develop increasing redness, heat, discharge, severe swelling, significant pain or any change in vision.

Meet Sarah

Artistry, care and an eye for detail.

I’m Sarah, founder of Cosmetique Skin & Ink. I’m passionate about helping women look and feel their best with natural, beautifully considered treatments that enhance rather than change.

Specialising in cosmetic tattooing and personalised skin treatments, I tailor every treatment to your individual features, skin and lifestyle.

My approach is simple, beautiful, effortless and results in a relaxed and welcoming space where you feel completely looked after.

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you might want to know before your first visit.

Yes. My approach is to enhance rather than overpower your natural features. Colour, shape and technique are customised to you, with the aim of creating a soft, balanced and flattering result.

Most clients find the treatment very manageable. Comfort is a priority throughout your appointment, and appropriate topical products are used where suitable to help minimise discomfort.

Cosmetic tattooing typically lasts between 1-3 years before a colour refresh is needed. This varies depending on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare and the area treated. The pigment will gradually soften and fade over time rather than disappearing suddenly.

Cosmetic tattooing is generally a two-step process. The initial appointment establishes the shape and colour, while the perfecting appointment allows us to assess how your skin has retained the pigment and refine any areas if required.

The colour will initially appear stronger, darker and more defined than the final healed result. This is completely normal. As the skin heals, the colour will soften and settle.

The surface of the skin usually heals within approximately 7-10 days, although the pigment continues to settle beneath the skin for several weeks. During this time you may notice flaking, dryness or temporary unevenness in the colour.

Makeup should be kept away from the freshly tattooed area during the initial healing period to reduce the risk of irritation or infection. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.

Often yes, but existing cosmetic tattooing needs to be assessed first. In some cases, previous pigment may need to fade further or be removed before a new treatment can achieve the best result. Please send clear photos before booking if you have existing tattooing.

Pigment is selected specifically for you, taking into consideration your natural colouring, skin tone, hair colour and desired result. We will discuss colour and shape together before beginning your treatment.

All cosmetic tattoo pigments gradually change and fade over time. Skin type, pigment choice, sun exposure, skincare and previous tattooing can all influence how the colour ages. Regular assessment and colour refreshing when required help maintain a natural result.

Not always. Certain medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin conditions or recent treatments may mean cosmetic tattooing needs to be postponed or medical clearance may be required. Please disclose any relevant medical information before your appointment.

Yes. We will discuss your preferences before beginning, while also considering your natural features, colouring and what will heal most beautifully. The aim is to create a result that suits you rather than simply following a trend.

Some swelling is normal and is typically most noticeable during the first 24 hours. The colour will also appear much brighter immediately after treatment before softening considerably as the lips heal.
