Every cosmetic tattoo appointment begins with an in-depth consultation to discuss your goals, desired outcome and suitability for treatment. We carefully assess your natural features, skin tone and undertones before selecting a customised pigment and designing a shape or placement tailored to you.

Where applicable, precise mapping is performed and reviewed with you for final approval before proceeding. Topical numbing is used where appropriate to help minimise discomfort throughout the procedure.

Our approach is considered and collaborative, ensuring you feel informed, comfortable and confident before treatment begins.

Mild swelling, tenderness, dryness and itching are normal during the initial healing process. Pigment will appear more intense immediately after treatment, gradually softening as the skin heals over approximately 7 days.

Over the following weeks, the colour continues to settle, with an expected reduction in visible intensity of approximately 30–50%, depending on the treatment, skin type and individual healing response.

A follow-up appointment from 6 weeks onwards allows us to assess pigment retention, refine colour and make any necessary adjustments.

Detailed aftercare instructions and a recommended aftercare product are provided to support healing and optimal pigment retention.

Before your cosmetic tattoo procedure, please complete the following pre-care processes:

• Take a break from vitamin C serums, retinoids, and glycolic treatments at least 2 weeks prior to your session and 2 weeks after for best healed results.
• Do not drink alcohol or take blood thinning medication 24 hours before your appointment.
• Limit caffeine intake the day of your tattoo.
• Skin should be healthy, non-irritated, blemish and sunburn free for the best results.
• Anti-wrinkle and fillers should be done 4 weeks prior or 2 weeks after your tattoo appointment.
• Facial treatments must be done 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after appointment.
