Absolutely. The feather-touch brow tattooing technique is designed to look completely natural when blended amongst existing hair or none at all. The feathering motion mimics the appearance of real brow hairs and each service is individually customised to suit your preferences and features.

Everyone experiences different levels of pain, some may feel nothing while others may feel some discomfort. Most people describe it as a scratching feeling or similar to eyebrow threading. Numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort before and during the treatment.

Although the treatment takes approximately 2hours, only 45minutes of this is the actual procedure. This includes time for the consultation, brow mapping (designing the brows) and numbing!

The colour will appear very rich for 48 hours immediately after the treatment as the colour oxidizes.  They will then begin to fade and go patchy during the days following as they flake and heal.  Initially they will get lighter around day 10 as new skin heals over the top.  The pigment will then begin to even out and push back through giving a more accurate colour around week 3-4. Week 4-6 you will be required to come back for your perfection visit.  You should avoid getting the area wet for 7 days following treatment and your artist will guide you through a post-care treatment plan.

After a consultation, there is one main appointment where the tattooing is performed, followed by a perfection touch up appointment 4 weeks later, during which any touch-ups can be made. Follow-up colour boost appointments every 12-18 months are recommended to keep the brows in optimum condition.

The effects of feather brows lasts anywhere between 12 and 24 months. The longevity of the pigment will depend on your skin type. People with slightly more oily skin will tend to last around the 12 month mark before needing a top up, but those with normal skin can last up to 18 months. It also depends how you continue to care for your brows.  Wearing SPF, avoiding retinol & AHAs on the area and keeping them hydrated will all help with the longevity of your brows retention.

The Prep: It all starts with a good canvas! The eyebrow area must be healthy, strong, non-sensitive, and non-irritated.  Here’s how to get your skin ready for the procedure:

Do not pick/tweeze/wax/perform electrolysis one week before the procedure

Do not tan two weeks prior to the service, or have a sunburned face

Do not have any type of facial 2 weeks prior to the procedure

Do not work out the day of the procedure

Do not have botox 3 weeks prior to the procedure

Do not take Fish Oil or Vitamin E one week prior to the procedure (they are natural blood thinners)

Do not wax or tint your eyebrows 3 days prior to the procedure.

In order to avoid excessive bleeding and poor color deposit:

Do not drink alcohol 24 – 48 hours before your tattoo

Do not consume coffee before your procedure

Do not take an Aspirin or Ibuprofen for pain relief (these also thin the blood)

Remember, the outcome of your new brows is dependant on following the correct prep and aftercare. To enable them to heal to their full potential you must follow these instructions.

On the day of treatment remove any excess fluid by blotting the area with a clean tissue, this prevents hardening of the lymphatic fluids.

Wipe the area gently with a tissue to clean before applying aftercare and to remove previous application. Make sure the area is completely dry. Apply a rice grain amount of aftercare ointment twice daily with a new cotton tip across the treated area. Be sure not to over-apply, as this will suffocate your skin and delay healing.
