What to Expect

Initial Consultation our clinician will discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns. Sometimes a patch test is done 24-48 hours before to rule out allergic reactions to the pigment.

Your clinician will draw the shape on your face first (brows, lips, eyeliner, etc.) using a pencil to show you what it will look like. You’ll both agree on the design and take photos before proceeding. A topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. It usually takes 20–30 minutes to process. Using a small machine or hand tool, the pigment is deposited into the skin. You might feel light scratching, pressure, some blood spotting may be present and a burning sensation, but most people say it’s very tolerable.

Duration

The tattooing process can take 1 to 4 hours, depending on the area.

A second appointment (around 4–8 weeks later) is standard to refine the shape and colour once healed.

Downtime

Healing takes 5-10 days, with full healing up to 4-6 weeks. A touch-up may be needed after 4-6 weeks. Expect mild swelling and redness and scabbing. Do not touch or pick the tattooed area. Follow aftercare instructions to avoid infection or fading, and avoid water, sweat, and makeup on the area during healing.

At Advantage Skin Clinic we specialise in the art of cosmetic tattooing, offering expert services designed to enhance your natural beauty. Whether you’re looking to perfect your brows, define your eyes or conceal scars, our skilled technicians provide personalised treatments that deliver stunning, long-lasting results.

Our Services

Explore our professional cosmetic tattooing services tailored to every style:

Microblading— Say goodbye to sparse or uneven brows with our microblading technique. This semi-permanent tattooing method uses fine, hair-like strokes to mimic the natural texture and appearance of eyebrow hairs. Perfect for those seeking a natural, full-brow look, microblading is tailored to match your existing brow colour and shape, giving you beautifully defined eyebrows that last up to 18 months.\
Powder Brows— For those who desire a soft, shaded makeup look, our powder brows technique offers a polished finish. This method creates a gradient effect, with a lighter start at the front of the brow and a more defined tail. Ideal for individuals with oily skin or those who prefer a fuller, makeup-ready appearance, powder brows are a versatile solution that can be customised to your preference.
Combination Brows— Can’t decide between microblading and powder brows? Our combination brows service blends the two techniques, offering the best of both worlds. This method starts with microblading to create natural hair strokes and finishes with shading to add depth and fullness. The result is a beautifully textured and defined brow that looks natural yet polished.

FAQs

What is cosmetic tattooing?

It’s a semi-permanent treatment where specialised pigments are carefully deposited into the skin’s upper layers to highlight features or conceal certain areas. For instance, lip tattooing can add definition to the lip line, while eyebrow tattoos can add fullness or change your brow shape completely.

What can I expect in the initial consultation?

Our expert team will assess your facial structure, natural brow shape and skin type. They will then map out the most suitable brow shape, discuss your preferred pigment colours and clarify any questions or concerns you may have.

How should I prepare for my tattoo appointment?

Skip waxing or tinting for at least three days prior.
Avoid wrinkle-reducing treatments for three weeks before the appointment and four weeks following it.
Refrain from chemical peels for 60 days before and after your appointment.
Avoid intense workouts or sweating on the day of the procedure.
Avoid taking any blood thinners, vitamins A and E and fish oil three days prior to your appointment.
Do not drink caffeine or alcohol 24 hours before your appointment.

Here are other aftercare tips to keep in mind:

Keep your tattoo clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
Avoid wearing makeup, swimming, using saunas or engaging in intense physical activity that causes sweating for at least one week.
Do not pick, scratch or touch the treated area while it heals.
Use only the aftercare products recommended by your dermal clinician.

Kindly note that healing times and tattoo results can vary from person to person.
