Before your appointment, please follow the preparation advice provided by Perfection Enhanced. Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine for 24 hours beforehand, as these may increase sensitivity or bleeding.

Please tell Juliette about any medical conditions, allergies, recent cosmetic treatments and medications you are taking. Do not stop prescribed medication, including blood thinning medication, unless instructed by your doctor.

If you are having eyeliner tattooing, remove contact lenses and eyelash extensions before your appointment. If you are having Lip Blush and have previously experienced cold sores, contact your doctor before your appointment to discuss whether preventative antiviral medication is appropriate for you.

Cosmetic tattooing, also known as permanent makeup, is a specialised treatment that places pigment into the upper layers of the skin to enhance the appearance of your brows, eyes or lips.

Treatments can restore definition to sparse brows, create lasting eyeliner or enhance the natural colour and shape of the lips. Every treatment is personalised to complement your skin, colouring, facial features and preferred style.

Yes. Every treatment begins with a personalised consultation with Juliette. You can discuss the features you would like to enhance, your usual makeup style and the result you feel comfortable wearing.

Your skin, natural colouring, facial features and any existing cosmetic tattooing will be considered before the most suitable technique, shape and pigment colour are recommended. Your design will be carefully mapped and approved by you before tattooing begins.

Pain is one of the most common concerns clients have before cosmetic tattooing. However, most are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they find the treatment.

Topical numbing products are used where appropriate to minimise discomfort, and many clients become so relaxed that they fall asleep during their appointment. Sensitivity varies from person to person, but Juliette will check your comfort throughout the treatment.

Cosmetic tattooing can be helpful for anyone who wants to spend less time applying makeup or would like more consistent definition throughout the day.

It may be particularly beneficial if your brows have become sparse or uneven, your eyesight or dexterity makes makeup application difficult, your eyeliner regularly smudges, or your natural lip colour has faded over time. It can also provide a practical option for clients with active lifestyles or sensitivities to some conventional makeup products.

Your suitability will be discussed during your consultation.

Cosmetic tattooing can make your everyday makeup routine quicker and easier while helping you feel polished without looking overdone.

It can create more defined brows, enhance the lash line and restore colour and definition to the lips. Your treatment is designed specifically for your face and preferred style, with the aim of creating a flattering result that still looks like you.

Cosmetic tattooing gradually fades over time. How long your result lasts will depend on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, skincare products, medications, pigment colour and the treatment area.

Many clients choose to have a colour boost approximately every 12 to 18 months to maintain their preferred colour and definition. Juliette can recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule once your tattoo has healed.

Perfection Enhanced follows careful hygiene and infection control procedures for every cosmetic tattoo treatment. Sterile, single use needles are used and disposed of after each client.

Before treatment, you will complete a consultation and relevant health and consent information so that your suitability can be assessed. Pigments, equipment and treatment techniques are selected with client safety, professional standards and healed results in mind.

Immediately after treatment, your cosmetic tattoo will usually appear darker, brighter or more defined than the final healed result. Mild redness, tenderness or swelling may also occur.

As the skin heals, the colour will soften and may temporarily appear uneven or lighter in some areas. This is why it is important to allow the full healing process to take place before judging the final result. Any areas requiring refinement can be assessed at your perfecting visit.

A perfecting visit is an important part of the cosmetic tattooing process. Every skin heals and retains pigment differently, so some areas may heal lighter or require additional refinement.

Once the area has fully healed, Juliette can assess the colour, shape and pigment retention and make adjustments where required.

Choose an experienced cosmetic tattoo artist who provides a thorough consultation, follows professional hygiene procedures and can show genuine examples of their work, including healed results where available.

Ask about their training, specialist experience, treatment process and ongoing support. You should feel listened to, fully informed and comfortable with the proposed design before treatment begins.
