Before I give you this reminder blog, I want to tell you about one of the most satisfying experiences in cosmetic tattooing I’ve had – it actually was today. I had a super mum come in who had alopecia. Together we designed hairstroke tattooed eyebrows to die for. How we take so much for granted. Lexi (not her real name) is young, attractive and smart. Lexi was telling me she dreaded hot days when she couldn’t even wipe her brow, let alone go swimming. I will think of her in the morning when she takes her first look at her face. That will be really nice.

Now for one of my previous blogs:

Sometimes a client just wants the reshaping of a natural eyebrow or lip. This can be an interesting challenge and usually there has been a lot of thought that has brought the client along to be ‘repaired’.

It’s always going to be a nice moment when I see you (the client) walk towards my cosmetic tattoo work room. There may be a hint or more of nervousness on your part, but all is well, especially when you relax and realise that this is an unhurried business.

After the preliminaries, trusting the next two hours or more will be safe and comfortable, and where correct shaping and colouring happens for you, is the ultimate goal. A little relaxing therapy, explaining, and lots of listening will go on now too.

When the ah ha moment is obvious – the shape painted on to show you, is just right and there’s a confident nod at the colour chosen, we’ll go ahead with the semi-permanent procedure/s. I am not shy of completing my own tattoo makeup, including scar work on my arm from a misadventure! More about that, in my next blog. But the point is, it has always been important to know what my clients may experience, before and after makeup tattoo.

The big E word is essential here. The difference between an ordinary or even unattractive lip line and blend for example can be because the time has not been taken to note the asymmetrically of the face. A natural lopsidedness on part of the mouth can be corrected in most cases. When the lip line and blend procedure is done well its a sheer confidence booster! One must always be aware of expectations however – one must be realistic. A free consultation is always available.

An old friend arrived from overseas recently. Her brows had been nicely shaped and cosmetically tattooed there. However, a second appointment is essential, and thank goodness I am here to fill in spaces, and redo tails and bulbs. Sometimes a little colour doesn’t quite take, length or depth should be added, or colour darkened or highlighted. Perhaps you will think its perfect, but the final procedure can make all the difference.

Colour heals in the skin depending on your skin chemistry. It essential to have correct colour chosen  to get the most out of micro-pigmentation. Some clients seem to be devoid of colour in their lips. My client who had ‘wouldn’t look at twice’ bare lips, was stunning when she walked out of the clinic on Saturday. I warned her that her elation may drop only to return again after the essential second procedure heals.

We have a good idea in mind – an idea that the lips will be admired with the utmost ease on your part. Very nice, especially when it stays, and stays!

Cheers until next time,

and with our weather in mind, keep safe,

Today I had a family of three daughters (actually one Daughter-In-Law) watching Mum have her eyebrows shaped and cosmetically tattooed. It was quite fun as they were all so quietly watching, except for the frequent interuptions on the various mobile phones. So the family business was being taken care of and the boss was being made beautiful at the same time! When the final stroke was applied, one of the daughters announced that she too would have semi-permanent makeup on her brows as well.  While the mum went for the powdered look (with hairstrokes) daughter had  brush strokes. This worked especially well for her too as they were already a great shape and there was plenty of brow hair in most of the right places to utilize.

Late last week another mum booked in for a re-vamp and makeup tattoo on her brows. This time it was her son who worked for the same company. He had noticed the boss’s new eyebrows, and booked his own mum in. Who says men don’t notice these things. They say we women dress for each other, but I notice men are very observant about new looks and new makeup on those nearest and dearest. The only thing they don’t seriously seem to comment on is weight!

This month we at Gentle Cosmetic Tattoo, have a great special for Eyeliner and Lipline and blend. Eyeliner is always going to be loved and admired, especially when it just doesn’t smear or wash off. Lipline and blend is fast becoming an irresistable necessity, as more and more women appreciate the magic of this treatment.

One hundred dollars off Lip-line and blend, and one hundred dollars off each Upper and/or Lower Eyeliner, till the end of May.

One of the greatest things I ever did for myself was enhance my own full lips with cosmetic tattoo. What an extraordinary difference in what had been a nice but unremarkable mouth because of lack of colour.  I remember my father saying to me as a child when I was already interested in lipstick, “it makes your lips lose it’s colour”.  Of course I know that not to be true and probably didn’t believe it then, but what I did know was that most women look particularly ordinary without a blush of colour on their mouths. It is  a common observation when one has barely stepped into the teens. Somewhere along the way to and from adulthood, and  certainly during and after menopause; there is a noticeable change in the colour, texture and shape of the mouth.  

My client recently had her lips outlined and colour blended to balance and enhance what proved to be her best facial feature. The colour chosen is very natural and perfect for those who have scars or who need more of what they have. It blends with the natural skin and becomes part of you. In this particular case the result gave such an improvement that Jade could not wait to have the rest of the mouth cosmetically tattooed. Having already had her full  tattooed eyeliner finished, which gave her an elegance she had not seen before – Jade said the lips made her almost “too pretty”.  This comment was said out of sheer supprise when the implanted pigment healed after a few days.

The beauty of a natural lip colour enhancement is that one may just ‘be’ with it. It is an improvement on the natural lip in many of the various ways that one would want it. The vermilion line is the first to look worn and uneven with almost a ‘bleached’ look, and this can happen at any age.  We first ask you to draw your own desired lipline and we take a look at your favourite gloss or lipstick shades. Often ladies are not entirely sure what they want and will say “I want them like yours”. This may not be realistic as every lip structure and colour is different. The most natural lipline and blend, and full lip colour is ideal, certainly to start with, and gives a gentle but magnificent enhancement to the shape and colour of the mouth. Having said that, there are many beautiful shades.

Do have a look at previous blogs on lip makeup tattoo, and/or come in for a  free consultation.

Chat with us about lip lining, blend and full tattoo makeup for lips and be ready for summer!

Looking forward to hearing from you,

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!

Janey
