Cosmetic tattooing is a semi-permanent treatment designed to enhance your natural beauty and mimic the look of make-up. This treatment is highly customisable. Depending on the clients desired results, cosmetic tattooing can be created to appear soft and natural or more bold and defined. Our treatments are carried out using a specially designed machine to implant pigment into the dermis layer of the skin.

A topical numbing gel is used throughout the procedure and every effort is made to ensure your comfort. Pain thresholds vary from client to client. Once the numbing gel has been applied clients generally won’t feel anything and it is not uncommon for our clients to fall asleep.

Cosmic tattooing has no impact on hair growth. Please do not remove any eyebrow hair within one week prior to your treatment. During your appointment, we will tweeze or shave any stray hair to assist in achieving your desired brow shape.

While any cosmetic procedure carries a risk of infection, we prioritise safety by maintaining strict hygiene standards and complying with all NSW Government health and safety regulations.

Our staff wears clinical personal protective equipment, including gloves and masks, to prevent cross-contamination during every treatment.

All supplies used are disposable and immediately discarded after each client's session, including sterile needles from sealed packets for single use only.

Our salon utilises hospital-grade disinfectants and cleaning products.

Additionally, we provide thorough aftercare instructions to ensure high standards are upheld even after clients leave the salon.

Typically 2 treatments are required. Your second appointment is the perfecting stage where we make any necessary tweaks. Your perfecting appointment must be no less than 4 weeks and no more than 8 weeks after your initial appointment.

Colour retention varies from client to client depending on skin type, skin condition and lifestyle. Excessive sun exposure will soften the colour of your tattoo faster. Applying a sunscreen of SPF-50 after healing is required to help keep colour true. Adhering to your appointment preparation and aftercare will also impact the longevity of your treatment. Typically, cosmetic tattoo can last anywhere from 1-4 years. For best results Coco Cosmetic Tattoo recommends getting your tattoo refreshed anywhere from 12-24 months.

If you have an active outbreak of cold sores on your lips on the day of your appointment, we will not be able to proceed with the treatment.

If you are prone to cold sores you must take preventative anti-viral medication such as Zovirax 5 days before, on the day of, and 5 days after your lip blush treatment (or as advised by your doctor or pharmacist).

Please be aware that if you have the herpes simplex virus, the treatment can trigger an outbreak. Taking an anti-viral medication will minimise the risk. You can purchase an over-the-counter anti-viral medication from your local pharmacy.

For Ombré brows, cosmetic botox in the treatment area must be done at least 2 weeks either side of your appointment.

Although lip filler will not impact your lip blush treatment, it is essential any lip filler treatments are done 4 weeks before or after your cosmetic tattooing treatment.

Immediately after your treatment and for the next few days your cosmetic tattoo will appear darker than how it will heal. During the healing process the colour will gradually lighten.

After your treatment you will be required to follow 10 days of aftercare. This can be found here.

Due to health and safety regulations only the cosmetic tattoo artist and the client are allowed in the treatment room.

Due to the nature of the appointment we have a strict 3 business day cancellation policy. If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment outside this time frame we can move your appointment deposit, however if it is within 3 business days you will forfeit your deposit and be required to pay a deposit to secure your next booking.
