Every cosmetic tattoo booking starts with a free consultation. We'll talk through your skin, your natural brow or lip shape, and exactly what result you're hoping for. I'll map out a shape with you before anything is tattooed, so you can see it and feel confident before we begin.

Absolutely. At The i-Brow Room, my philosophy is The Art of Natural Enhancement. Every treatment is individually tailored to complement your natural features, creating soft, timeless results that enhance rather than overpower your appearance. My goal is for people to notice how refreshed you look — not your cosmetic tattoo.

Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is. A high-quality topical anaesthetic is applied throughout the procedure to keep you as comfortable as possible. While everyone's pain tolerance is different, most describe the sensation as mild scratching or vibration rather than pain.

That's exactly what the consultation is for. We'll draw out the shape together and adjust it as many times as needed until you're happy, before any tattooing starts. You're never rushed into a decision on the day.

Yes, a $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure all cosmetic tattoo bookings. This comes off the total cost of your treatment.

Skin takes around 6–8 weeks to fully heal, even once it looks settled on the surface. Waiting this long means we can see the true healed colour and shape before fine-tuning anything, which gives a much better long-term result.

Results vary depending on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure and skincare routine. As a guide:

• Powder, Nano & Combination Brows: 1–3 years
• Lip Blush: 2–4 years
• Lash Enhancement: 2–5 years

Annual colour boosts are recommended to keep your results looking fresh.

Most cosmetic tattoo appointments take between 2.5–3 hours, allowing plenty of time for your consultation, measurements, colour selection, design and treatment. I never rush the process because achieving beautiful, balanced results requires careful attention to detail.

Healing is a journey and every client heals slightly differently. Initially, your colour will appear darker and more defined before gradually softening over the following weeks. Some flaking is completely normal. Full healing typically takes around 4–6 weeks, which is why your perfecting appointment is scheduled after this time.

Cosmetic tattooing is a two-step treatment. Your perfecting appointment allows me to assess how your skin has retained the pigment, make any necessary adjustments and build the colour for the best long-term result. This appointment is an essential part of the treatment process.

Most people are suitable candidates, however certain medical conditions, medications or skin conditions may affect treatment. We'll discuss your medical history during your consultation to ensure cosmetic tattooing is safe and appropriate for you.

Often, yes. During your consultation I'll assess your existing tattoo, colour, shape and saturation before recommending the best approach. In some cases a colour boost is suitable, while in others removal or fading may be recommended before new work can be performed.

That's completely normal. Many clients tell me they've been thinking about cosmetic tattooing for months—or even years—before booking. Every appointment begins with a thorough consultation, and nothing starts until you're completely happy with the shape, colour and design. My aim is for you to feel informed, comfortable and confident throughout the entire experience.

You'll receive detailed pre-care instructions before your appointment. In general, you'll be asked to avoid alcohol, excessive caffeine, certain medications (where appropriate), tanning and active skincare products prior to your treatment to help achieve the best possible results.

You'll need to avoid applying makeup directly over the treated area while your skin heals. Once healing is complete, you can enjoy wearing as much or as little makeup as you like.

Modern pigments are specifically formulated to fade gradually over time rather than changing dramatically in colour. Choosing an experienced artist, appropriate pigments and attending maintenance appointments all contribute to beautiful long-term results.

Choosing a cosmetic tattoo artist is an important decision. At The i-Brow Room you'll receive an award-winning cosmetic tattoo artist committed to ongoing education, a personalised consultation and customised treatment plan, a private boutique studio in Bay View, Napier, premium pigments and professional equipment, thorough aftercare and ongoing support, and a focus on soft, natural, beautifully refined results.
