We know it suits many people to start their cosmetic tattoo healing process over the weekend.
You know, by day three, a lot of the healing is completed.
Don’t hesitate to book Friday after work, or Saturday or Sunday if you can’t wait to get started. Otherwise we are open as normal during the week to accomodate you.
Cosmetic tattoo is also known as micro-pigmentation, makeup tattoo, semi-permanent makeup (in Australia), permanent make-up (overseas), tattoo make-up, and eyebrow embroidery!
Untill the end of MAY and until the end of JUNE take advantage of a lovely opportunity. Take $200 OFF when you have Upper & Lower Eyeliner Makeup Tattoo.
Once top or lower micro-pigmentation is applied, clients invariably ask for more! To help take the stress out of this decision we will have you eyes looking fabulous on the same appointment at a great price.
Considering different depths of colour or different shades for top and bottom? Consultations for all cosmetic tattoo procedures are free as usual. Does added layered colour with your eyeliner excite you? Talk with us about options!

Commonly, a new client phones us to say that eyebrows were applied too dark or badly shaped. Other problems include colour change or quick fading. We enjoy working with natural vegetable pigments, so that we don’t have those problems. This reminds me to say, yet again - know your semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo artist. Word of mouth and experience amounts to a lot. When was the first client your professional had? A couple of months ago or several years ago? Good cosmetic tattooing takes years to understand. How many clients does your professional work with in a day? Each client takes at least two hours and often a lot more time; from consultation to lifting the cold pack off the cosmetically tattooed areas. Time is something we should have plenty of. Why? Your artist needs to have a clear understanding of any medical or other problems you may have. As well, every stroke, and every smudge of colour needs to be perfect, to the cosmetic tattoo artist, and you, the client. You must feel that the very best work possible has been achieved, knowing that after the shedding of the superficial pigment, semi-permanent colour will have started give the shaping, highlighting and definition your features appear to crave.
So how do you best feel comfortable with your procedure? Your professional will have listened, advised, and drawn or applied with pigment the required look. At Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo, you may follow the work with a mirror if you wish. We start conservatively, shaping, colouring and forming, until all is perfect.
Having said all of the above, with time and care, corrective work also gives stunningly good results. Always check that you admire the style of your cosmetic tattoo artist’s work. Ask all the questions that concern you, and don’t be afraid you might appear ‘fussy’. Lastly, make sure you are 100% happy with the final designs before and/or during the procedure. This ensures a happy completion and the confidence that often gives nature a helping hand in healing!
Consultations are here for you to discuss, question and decide whether micropigmentation (or semi-permanent makeup) is the right choice for you. Take the time – it’s free!
Remember giving or receiving a gift on Mothers Day? The whole idea is said to have originated in Ancient Greece, with the Fertility Goddess, Rhea being honoured. Beautiful reflections of love for mothers became known with varying stories all over the world, throughout the ages. For example in the States, in the early 1900’s a simple gesture of wearing a carnation was initiated to celebrate and recognise mothers, and the selfless job of motherhood.
Each year we at Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo have mums and daughters come in to ‘observe’ each other having their semi-permanent tattoo applied. It seems that apart from birthdays, this is the perfect ’excuse’ to see how it all goes and also to give to each other something lasting and enjoyable.
Janey has her cosmetic tattoo anesthetic creams especially made for your comfort. These custom made anesthetics are designed to not only numb the areas being cosmetically tattooed, but also to reduce swelling. As well, Janey uses a wonderful technique of cosmetic tattoo, so you may go out after the procedures, confident the world isn’t looking at your new tattoo makeup before looking at you!
So, you will be made warm and comfortable with the choice of a beverage, before the lips are numbed. Every client is given the opportunity to have the latest relaxation techniques before beginning and finally with a gorgeous soft backdrop of music and warm feet. we are soon ready to begin.
Have another look at the specials, and if you want to talk with us about different makeup tattoo procedure, we are a phone call away, and sure to please.
Happy Mothers Day to you!

hello everyone,
Right now, I feel I’d like to write a book on the interesting people - no, fasinating people I meet in this business. When people feel comfortable with each other, they exchange ideas, thoughts, experiences and stories. I’m privileged to be able to say that cosmetic tattoo, together with my healing work brings about a wealth of the above. Every person has a story, and every person is special, without a doubt. This is why, to design semi-permanent eyebrows, eye-liners, lip-line and lip-blend, and of course, full lip tattoo is such an individual thing. They bring out the personality of the individual.
This month and next – Mothers Day remember… we are offering lip-liner and blend which is so popular, with a half price under-eyeliner. Why underline? Because people seem to forget at times the effect that a soft under-eyeline, or darker (as the upper) can be. We also offer colours that acentuate the colour of the eyes. We can do great things together! I want to emphasise the fact that we do it together. Most ladies come in and inevitably say “I wish I’d done this years ago”. We hear this so often, in fact, all the time. It’s true, and it’s also my own experience as well, so we understand you. Little by little, we work with the design and colour – nothing is done without y0ur consent and understanding. That way, you can look in the mirror each day and say “Yes, that looks pretty good!” After a short time, you don’t say that, you do tend to take it for granted in a way… and that’s very OK.
So, again, Lipliner and blend is the normal price (look at the site again) and half price for under eyeliner for April and May.
As a footnote; on leaving, we give you a great little product to use especially after tattoo lip treatments. Mismo Cell Soother is full of Aloe Vera and MSM. Vitamins A, B, C, E, A mino acids and a range of minerals help rejuvenate cells and soothe the skin.
Looking forward to meeting you, as usual!
Janey

hello everyone.
A confidence reducing problem that can affect all ages seems to be scars of all types. This need not be so of course, as life brings with it all sorts of unforeseen circumstances and misadventures that can result in marks, scars, and skin colour changes to the face, head, neck and body. They can show that a person has had an interesting life! However, it is encouraging to know that scar camouflague with tattoo makeup may indeed bring back a care-free feeling to those individuals who require the procedure.
Eyebrow scars are so common, and the brow area is vunerable and where the skin easily broken. Hair strokes are placed strategically into the missing areas, although care is taken as to assess the individual’s skin condition and age of the scarring before skin coloured camouflague is used.
Semi-permanent camouflague makeup certainly does have it’s place where skin colour is the answer and especially awkward or obvious areas can be ’worked’ into eye-shadowing and eyeline colouring as well. Custom blended natural vegetable pigments gently eases away acne, sun spots and other marks. Micro-pigmentation ’after-care’ is essential as always.
Recently I went back for a micro-dermabrasion and gently reminded the professional again that I had a couple of sun spots semi- permanently tattooed. She assured me the procedure would not damage ‘my work’. My skin benefited greatly from her treatment, and sure enough, the dark shadows were as good as newly hidden after the repeated once a month sessions. Therefore cosmetic tattoo camouflague lasts as well as any other cosmetic tattoo procedures. Gladly I’ll pass on the details of this talented lady. Getting back to blemishes, and scaring - one need not worry about applying and reapplying makeup to difficult areas that can sometimes be embarrassing, or at least, disturbing, in fact it they may well be forgotten about after a cosmetic tattoo procedure.
Men love this work!
Book an appointment for a free consultation - walk away and think about it or decide to go ahead on the day.
all the best,
Janey

Hello, and Happy New Year everyone!
It’s been busier than usual. Whether that is a consequence of the vast rains we have had in this part of the country, I’m not sure. People have been perhaps spending more time thinking and organizing things for themselves for this year in the quiet of indoors, rather than racing around outside in their spare time.
During this unusual whether, I have had many various requests lately for makeup tattooing.
One thing that seems to be on everyone’s minds is ”will you tattoo my eyebrows so they really suit me!” This anxiety is a number one reason why women, I feel, hesitate to have semi-permanent makeup, and rightly so. How many times have we seen eyebrows that are too highly arched, where the artist seemed to have overused his/her creative licence? As well, colour and flow of the brow is essential. It’s rare to have two brows the same as the bone structure and formation of our face is different on each side of the nose. I have clients who appreciate this and like the way one of their eyebrows’ is naturally slightly arched in a cheeky questioned manner, or a little more pronounced in some way. Often these clients ask me to “add that in” for the overall finished look. They love the individuality of their own face. Others are wanting their eyebrows absolutely symmetrical – perfect in every way. That is the way they feel happy to face the world each day.
We know that all our clients appreciate the close working together to achieve the desired look. Above all, I believe, women want a natural, lovely brow that essentially suits them. One that can be altered in colour and shape if necessary, as their makeup tattoo slowly fades over time. Perhaps this is not an easily understood point? The largest organ of the body, our skin, changes remarkably of the years. Weather factors, medication, makeups including skin products, personal habits, emotional issues, and environment, affect our skin enormously. It is because of these issues, cosmetic tattoo also fades.
This is a great opportunity! Over the years I have worked and changed “my ladies’ ” permanent makeup to suit. Things never stay the same, and need not either.
Have a Happy and wonderful New Year. We look forward to helping you change your face of the future. Sounds cheesy I know! But we love it.
What is Christmas?
It is the tenderness for the past,
Courage for the present,
Hope for the future.
It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal,
and that every path may lead to peace.
