Why are Brows so Important?
Your eyebrows frame your face and have the power to completely transform your look. Symmetrical, perfectly-arched brows can lift your eyes, balance your features and give you a youthful look. But with so many different face shapes and brow styles finding your perfect match, and recreating it daily, can be time-consuming and tricky without professional training.
That’s where Cosmetic Brow Tattooing comes in. With this innovative treatment you can effortlessly enjoy naturally defined, soft makeup look brows every single day. Best of all, results can last up to three years with proper care.
More Than Just Brows
While brows are the most popular cosmetic tattooing service, we also offer lip and eyeliner tattooing to complete your look.
- Cosmetic Lip Tattoo: Definition, enhancement and a natural blush or pop of colour for a flattering, stained lip effect
- Cosmetic Eyeliner Tattoo: Fuller and darker lash line to accentuate and define the eye
This is perfect if you wear lip stick and eyeliner daily and want to save time without compromising on definition or style.






What is Cosmetic Tattooing?
Cosmetic tattooing is a form of semi-permanent makeup that involves carefully depositing colour pigments into the upper layers of the skin, creating flawless features that enhance your natural beauty. From fuller-looking brows to softly tinted lips and perfectly placed eyeliner, this technique creates long-lasting, flawless results that subtly boost your beauty.
Is Cosmetic Tattooing Permanent?
Cosmetic tattooing is considered semi-permanent. While the pigment is implanted into the skin, it naturally fades over time. On average, results last between 2.5 to 3 years, though this can vary depending on a number of factors including aftercare, sun exposure, maintenance and individual metabolism. To keep your results looking fresh, we recommend scheduling regular Colour Boosts every 18 to 24 months. These maintenance sessions help preserve the colour, shape and overall appearance of your cosmetic tattoo.
Are you a Good Match for Cosmetic Brow Tattooing?
Cosmetic brow tattooing is the perfect beauty solution if you:
- Wish to enhance your current features to their full potential
- Lead a busy lifestyle with little time to apply makeup
- Have patchy, thinning or sparse eyebrows
- Experience allergies or sensitivities to conventional makeup products
- Find it difficult to apply makeup for reasons such as poor eyesight or arthritis
If any of these apply to you, Cosmetic Brow Tattooing can simplify your routine while giving you beautiful, lasting results.

What to expect from a Smooth & Tan Cosmetic Tattoo?
Your Cosmetic Tattoo journey at Smooth & Tan is designed to be comfortable, personalised and professional from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect from your initial consult to touch-up:
- Personalised Consultation
We begin with a thorough consultation. This is your chance to share your goals, discuss your lifestyle, and ask any questions. If you use an eyebrow pencil or any brow product, be sure to bring it along. This helps us perfectly match the pigment to your current look. Together, we’ll choose the best style, shape and colour to flatter your face shape and suit your preferences.
- Brow Mapping
Your artist will carefully map out your brows using precise measurements to ensure symmetry and balance. This step helps us create a shape that enhances your individual beauty and fits your face perfectly. You’ll have the opportunity to review and approve the design before we move forward.

- Numbing and Preparation
To ensure your comfort throughout the service, we recommend using a topical numbing cream specifically formulated for Cosmetic Tattooing. Please note, we do not supply or apply this cream at the salon. During your consultation, you’ll be briefed on how to obtain this anaesthetic so you can come prepared on the day of your appointment. Smooth & Tan clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the process feels, thanks to the effective numbing and our gentle technique.
- The Tattooing Process
Using advanced tools and premium pigments, your artist will gently implant colour into the upper layer of the skin. The process takes approximately 2.5 hours, depending on the service.
- Aftercare Guidance
Once the service is complete, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing and maximise the longevity of your cosmetic tattoo. We’re here to answer any follow-up questions and schedule your Perfecting Session for 6-12 weeks after your initial session.
At Smooth & Tan, our goal is to ensure you leave feeling confident and excited about your new look. Every step is tailored to you, with your comfort and satisfaction as our top priorities.
