Cosmetic Tattooing

Yes, in most cases most skin types are acceptable for cosmetic tattooing. A thorough consultation before treatment is essential to ensure that your expectations can be achieved. Every one of our guests skin is different and the outcome will be determined by factors such as skin colour, tone, condition and environmental factors guests may be exposed to.

Cosmetic tattooing is not only a great way to correct brows, or eyes but also lets you gain the look you are after, limiting your need for the application of makeup. The Beauty Base is focused in ensuring the best possible treatments and expertise at all of our salons. Our in-house cosmetic tattooist is equipped with almost two decades of experience, the knowledge and the tools to best advise our guests.

Cosmetic tattooing is a renowned treatment that is especially beneficial for people who want:

• To recreate eyebrows/lash lines following hair loss.
• An alternative to traditional makeup products.
• To end the struggle of uneven eyeliner and brow products
• A solution to achieving a subtle makeup look to save time on a busy schedule.

 
What techniques do we use in cosmetic tattooing?

The specialised techniques which are used for permanent cosmetics include micro-pigmentation and microblading. All these advanced and updated techniques help enhance and redefine your features by giving you a subtle makeup look. Our cosmetic tattooist houses tools and technology that are market leading, employing the latest developments in the field to ensure the best for our guests.

The treatment begins with mapping out our guests face and applying cosmetic pencil to help you select an appropriate look and colour that will compliment your skin tone and hair colour.  The Beauty Base cosmetic tattooist will assist each guest in selecting their desired look by creating a design based on your selections to allow you to visualise the results. Once our guest is satisfied with the visualised results, only then will we apply Cosmetic Tattooing.

The procedure of Cosmetic Tattooing involves the controlled insertion of safe colour pigments into the dermal layer of the skin using sterilised needles. A cosmetic tattooist will utilise different implanting machines and variable needles depending on the guest’s individual needs.

The longevity of results varies from person to person depending on the type of treatment, skin type, and environment. We recommend our lips and brow guests get a colour boost within 12 – 18 months following the initial treatment for long-lasting results. This colour boost helps to enliven the colour. In other cases, such as a cosmetic tattoo treatment for a dark eyeliner, then it can be present for up to 3 years.
