Eyebrow tattooing has revolutionised the beauty industry, offering a long-lasting solution for perfectly shaped and defined brows. If you’re considering brow tattooing in Cranebrook, you likely have questions about the process, healing time, and what to expect. At Bonita Beauty Bar, we specialise in creating natural-looking, beautifully enhanced brows that suit your face shape and preferences. Here’s everything you need to know before your first appointment.
What is Brow Tattooing?
Brow tattooing is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the natural shape, fullness, and definition of your eyebrows. Unlike traditional tattoos, which use permanent ink, brow tattooing involves the use of pigments that gradually fade over time, ensuring a soft and natural look.
We offer various techniques to suit different preferences:
- Microblading – Fine, hair-like strokes for a natural and fuller look.
- Ombre Brows – A soft, powdered effect that mimics the look of filled-in brows.
- Combination Brows – A mix of microblading and ombre techniques for a natural yet defined appearance.
The Brow Tattooing Process: Step-by-Step
Understanding the process helps ensure you’re fully prepared for your appointment.
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a consultation, where we discuss your desired brow shape, colour, and style. We analyse your facial structure and skin tone to recommend the best approach for a flattering and natural result.
2. Brow Mapping & Design
We carefully map out your brows to ensure symmetry and precision. This step allows you to see the shape before the tattooing begins, ensuring you’re happy with the design.
3. Numbing Process
A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as light scratching rather than pain.
4. Tattooing Procedure
Using a specialised machine or microblading tool, pigment is deposited into the skin. This process typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the desired style.
5. Aftercare Instructions
Proper aftercare is crucial for the best results. We provide detailed instructions to ensure your brows heal correctly and retain their colour evenly.
Healing Process & Aftercare
Brow tattooing requires a healing period of about 4-6 weeks. Here’s what to expect:
- Days 1-3: Brows appear darker and bolder than expected.
- Days 4-7: Mild scabbing and flaking occur; avoid picking at the skin.
- Days 7-14: Brows may appear lighter as the pigment settles.
- Weeks 4-6: Colour stabilises, and a touch-up session is scheduled if needed.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid excessive moisture (swimming, saunas, and heavy sweating) for at least 10 days.
- Do not pick at scabs or flakes, as this may cause uneven healing.
- Apply a light layer of healing ointment as directed.
- Avoid makeup on the brows during the healing period.
Common FAQs About Brow Tattooing
1. How long does brow tattooing last?
The results typically last between 1-3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. Oily skin may require more frequent touch-ups.
2. Does it hurt?
Thanks to numbing cream, most clients experience minimal discomfort. Some describe it as a slight scratching sensation.
3. Can I choose my brow shape and colour?
Yes! During your consultation, we customise the shape and shade to complement your features.
4. Will my brows look too dark at first?
Yes, the initial colour will appear darker but will fade to a more natural shade within a few weeks.
5. When should I get a touch-up?
A touch-up is recommended 6-8 weeks after the initial session to perfect the shape and colour. Annual touch-ups help maintain long-lasting results.
Emergency Saline Removal for Brow Tattoo Corrections
If you’ve had a previous brow tattoo that you’re unhappy with, we offer emergency saline removal. This non-laser technique uses a saline solution to lift and lighten unwanted pigment safely and effectively. Ideal for those who have experienced:
- Uneven or overly dark brows
- Unwanted colour changes (e.g., brows turning red or blue over time)
- Incorrect brow shapes
