Most cosmetic tattoos will stay vibrant for 1-3 years. However, factors such as skin type, sun exposure, lifestyle, and skincare routines can influence longevity. Regular touch-ups are recommended to maintain the best results.
Lady BrowStory takes a holistic approach, considering your facial features, skin tone, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Whether it's defining your brows, enhancing your lips, or accentuating your eyes, I ensure that the chosen pigment and style complement you perfectly.
Absolutely! The goal is always to achieve a result that looks natural yet striking. By tailoring the treatment to your individual features and preferences, we'll ensure you leave with an enhanced, but natural appearance.
Your comfort is a top priority. Topical anaesthetics are applied before and during the procedure to minimise discomfort. While pain tolerance varies from person to person, most clients find the process quite manageable.
As per regulation and for your convenience, Lady BrowStory asks clients to secure their numbing cream in advance.
Upon booking, we'll send you a link to our partnered compounding pharmacy. There, fill out the necessary details promptly. The pharmacy will then reach out to you for confirmation and manage payment ($34.90 plus shipping). Your cream gets shipped directly to us, ensuring it's ready for your treatment!
To ensure timely delivery, please complete your order at least 10 days before your scheduled appointment. Also, remember to order within two weeks of your treatment day due to the product's 3-month expiry.
Rest assured, we'll store your numbing cream for both your initial and any touch-up sessions.
Generally, two sessions are ideal – an initial appointment followed by a perfecting session 4-6 weeks later. Some clients, especially those with sparse natural hair or unique skin types, might benefit from a third session.
Adhering to Queensland's strict health regulations, Lady BrowStory uses a single-use method. Every tool and product is used once and then disposed of to guarantee optimal hygiene and safety.
No. Lip cosmetic tattoos enhance and define the natural lip colour. Whether you desire a soft blush or a more defined hue, we'll ensure a beautiful result that suits you.
For eyeliner treatments, it's essential to arrive without eye makeup. Avoid using eyelash growth serums for at least two weeks before your appointment. It's always best to inform us of any eye conditions or surgeries before your treatment.
Immediately after, the treated area will typically appear 30% - 50% darker, sharper and thicker. Swelling, especially around the eyes, and minor redness is normal. The intensity will reduce over a week, revealing a softer, more natural look.
While you can use mineral makeup on the face, avoid applying any product on the freshly tattooed area until fully healed to prevent complications.
Expect a full healing timeline of about 4 weeks. It's typical to witness various healing stages during this period, such as darkening, lightening, and minor scabbing.
Lady BrowStory will provide detailed aftercare instructions post-treatment. Adhering to these guidelines will ensure optimal results and longevity of your cosmetic tattoos.
It's crucial to inform us of any medical conditions or medications beforehand. Some conditions might necessitate additional precautions or a physician's approval before undergoing cosmetic tattooing.
Avoid strenuous activities that induce excessive sweating, prolonged sun exposure, and swimming for the initial days post-procedure. Detailed guidance will be provided after your session.
