Cosmetic Brow Tattoo
In the realm of beauty, eyebrows often stand as the unsung heroes, framing our expressions and accentuating our eyes. I understand the transformative power of well defined brows.
Cosmetic Brow Tattooing is more than just a procedure; it's an art form, seamlessly blending technique with aesthetics to create brows that showcase your natural beauty.
Whether you desire a fuller, more defined, or subtly enhanced shape, brow tattooing promises precision, longevity, and a tailor-made finish that mirrors your individuality.

Cosmetic Brow Tattoo FAQ
Does it hurt?
It is slightly uncomfortable but completely bearable. Some clients even fall asleep during the procedure. I use a topical numbing cream to make each client as comfortable as possible. If you have low intolerance to pain you may take 1-2 Panadol 30 minutes before your appointment. DO NOT take Aspirin or Ibuprofen as these can cause excessive bleeding and also make you more sensitive to pain during the procedure.
How long will it last?
Your eyebrows tattoo will last from 18 to 24 months. I recommend an annual top-up to keep your permanent makeup fresh.
The following factors will cause your semi-permanent tattoo to fade faster:
Oily skin
Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic acid, retinol
Vitamin E and C
Exfoliates
Iron deficiency
Exposure to saltwater
Sun exposure
How many appointments do I need?
Permanent makeup is always a two-appointment process. Both appointments are included in the price and the second appointment is booked within 6-8 weeks after your first session. The touch-up appointment is important as there will always be some fade. I can alter the shape of your tattoo or saturate the colour if it is necessary, also fixing any patches and gaps that haven’t retained pigment well during the healing process.
How much are touch-ups?

You are under 18
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
You have been on Accutane within the past year
You have HIV or Hepatitis or any other infectious or viral diseases
You are undergoing chemotherapy
You are on blood thinners medication as it may affect how your skin responds to blood clotting and healing

You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
You have been on Accutane within the past year.
You have HIV or Hepatitis or any other infectious or viral diseases.
You are undergoing Chemotherapy.
You are on blood thinners medication as it may affect how your skin responds to blood clotting and healing.

Can you cover up an old tattoo?
It depends. If your previous tattoo is too dark or thick please send a picture at customerpictures@keylaoliver.com
What is the downtime for permanent make-up?
From minimal to not at all. I recommend you not book an appointment right before a holiday. Do not play sports straight after having a lip or eyebrow procedure and avoid sweating, saunas and swimming pools for at least 7 days. Also, avoid make-up; you can apply make-up around the lips and eyebrows but not over them. The procedure you have had will initially look brighter than when it has healed, but it should not stop you from being able to go out. After a lip tattoo, you may experience some lip swelling but that should pass in a few hours, although this may last a little longer for some people.
Can anyone have permanent make-up?
The short answer is no. There are certain contraindications that can prevent us from performing the treatment. The following are the contraindications of Permanent Makeup:
Pregnant or breastfeeding.
Taking anticoagulants, such as aspirin or similar medications
Autoimmune disease. Please consult your doctor.
Haemophilia
Psoriasis
Viral diseases, e.g. jaundice, hepatitis, HIV and AIDS.
Taking steroids such as cortisone, Accutane, and Retinol.
What to expect when I book an appointment?
Please check the contraindications in Permanent Makeup here.
Permanent Makeup consists of two sessions. The touch-up appointment is free of charge and it takes place within 6-8 weeks. The procedure is not painful as a medical numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to make you as comfortable as possible.
A discussion is important about your expectations and what is possible to achieve. Also, you need to be 100% happy with the shape and the colour choice before I proceed with the treatment.
Cosmetic Brow After Care
After care for days 2 -10...
Immediately after the procedure the area will feel a little sore and the colour will look quite intense for 4-5 days.
Avoid harsh cleansers and serums that contain ingredients such as glycolic or mandelic acid as the enzymes in these formulas can cause irritation and can break down the pigment in the skin. For the same reason, if you are on any type of Vitamin A (Retinaldehyde/Retinol) do not apply this over your brows for the next 10 days.
Use a damp cotton swab to clean your brows 3 times a day, or more if you feel the need. Please use filtered water.
Fluids will leak from the tattoo to form scabs. You don’t want these scabs. You will need to wipe your brows thoroughly in the direction of the hairs and against the hairs to remove the excess fluid and prevent it from forming a thick scab.
Pat your brows dry before applying a very sheer layer of the balm provided.
Do not touch your tattoo with dirty fingers and sleep on a clean pillowcase to avoid an infection.
Do not expose yourself to the sun.
Put on a non-coloured sunscreen after 72 hours, if you are going to be exposed to the sunlight even if the day is cloudy. The UV rays will deteriorate the pigment and cause the tattoo to fade faster.
If your brows start peeling or itching, do not scratch them. Scratching may cause the formation of a scar. Let the scabs fall off by themselves. Use the balm provided to moisturize your brows and this will help with the itching.
Around 15 days your eyebrows might appear to be light and patchy. Trust that all of this is a part of the healing process. The pigment in the skin is setting and the healing process will take 45 days. The ultimate colour will be visible only when the skin is completely healed.
Once your brows are fully healed...
To help your eyebrows tattoo stay fresh longer do not use any of the following on your tattoo: Benzoyl Peroxide, Glycolic acid, Vitamin E and C, and Retinol.
If you have oily skin, an iron deficiency, or a very strong immune system, your pigment will not last as long and will not heal as crispy as others.
This treatment fades after 1.5 – 2 years depending on your skin type and your lifestyle. Touch ups are necessary to maintain the longevity and the beauty of your tattoo.
