Information on Cosmetic Tattoo

More and more people seek cosmetic tattoo Australia wide so they can look their best without wasting a lot of time applying makeup. So what is cosmetic tattooing?

It’s a procedure, similar to regular tattooing, except it is specifically used for cosmetic purposes like eyeliner, eyebrows, lips. This procedure lasts for years and you can feel free to swim, sleep, play sports and unlike makeup, it won’t rub off. A specific pigment is used which has been manufactured for human skin, the powder is mixed with a solution of glycerin and distilled water giving it a smooth, creamy texture. There are many colours of the pigment available which are usually mixed and matched to please the client. All cosmetic tattooing should be performed in a clean, hygienic environment. Every customer should get a new needle, new machine attachment and new product to avoid cross-contamination.

Cosmetic tattooing looks like you applied pencil, but softer, more muted and more natural. The first 7 days after treatment the colour will usually be more prominent, but this fades over time. Lips can fade up to 80% and everywhere else can fade up to 20 – 40 % during the healing process. The healing process for most procedures can take anywhere from 4 days to 14 days. Many people can benefit from cosmetic tattooing, depending on what you feel like you want to enhance or cover.

There are many different procedures to choose from, starting with eyebrow procedures. If you have any gaps or scars where hair has not grown back, or over-plucked the hairs you can easily fill them in with cosmetic tattooing. If you are suffering from Alopecia, or even if you want to change your brows into a particular shape, the lines can be solid or they can be done with hair like strokes for a more natural finish.

People can spend thousands of dollars on lip fillers, but even cosmetic tattooing can help you achieve fuller looking, more defined lips. If you have lips that seem to have no defined lip shape, pale or sun-damaged lips, cosmetic tattooing can give you that outline you’ve been looking for. Even if you’ve had lip augmentation you can still get a defined lip with cosmetic tattooing. This is usual done in one of two ways – lip lining which is a fine line on the outer edge of the lips giving more shape to the mouth, or lip blending which is blending the colour from the line into the lips to look more natural, or to balance uneven lips.

People who want longer lasting eye makeup can even get cosmetic tattooing. If you have smaller eyes and you want a little more definition and shape, if you have poor eyesight and have problems applying eyeliner, if you have oily eyelids that smear your makeup, you can get help with cosmetic tattooing. If you generally just want to look better overall without putting in so much effort then cosmetic tattooing is for you. The top and bottom lash line can be tattooed fine or wide, tapered or dotted between lashes making the lashes appear naturally thicker. Even beauty spots can be enhanced or created. Cosmetic tattooing also offers nipple and areola colouring after breast reduction, breast enlargement or mastectomy.

Fine lines and wrinkles can also be erased with cosmetic tattooing. You won’t need any injections. Cosmetic tattooing uses a light scratching technique on each individual wrinkle, it can even be done on scarring. Treatments like this usually take around 20 minutes and you are left with cat-like scratches on your face. They tend to stay a bit red for a day, but will heal in approximately 4 days. The aim of this treatment is to encourage collagen to come to the surface of the skin. The results are usually visible within a week and will last 2-3 years.
