BROWS
COME FIRST

Eyebrow cosmetic tattooing is our highest-priority service. Brows frame the face, and small changes in shape or density make a real difference. That is why we give them the most attention, from the first measurement to the healed result.

STATIONS ON THIS SHEET

FIVE WAYS
TO BUILD A BROW

Our focus is on powder brows, ombre brows, nano brows, microblading and combination brows. Each one builds pigment in a different way. We don’t start from a favourite technique. We start from your face, your skin and the look you want, then choose the method that suits.

A  Powder brows
Soft, shaded colour for a filled-in, make-up-like look.

B  Ombre brows
Shading that runs from lighter at the front to more defined at the tail.

C  Nano brows
Very fine hair-like detail placed with a machine.

D  Microblading and feathering
Hand-drawn strokes for brows that need texture rather than fill.

E  Combination brows
Strokes at the front with shading through the body of the brow.

C · MAPPING SEQUENCE

FROM MAP TO
APPROVED SHAPE

Whichever of the five techniques suits you, the brow is mapped first. Nothing is tattooed until you have seen the drawn shape on your own face and approved it.

01 — MEASURE

We mark where each brow should begin, where the arch sits and where the tail ends, measured against your own eyes, nose and face shape rather than a stencil.

02 — DRAW

The shape is drawn on your skin between those points, taking in your natural brow hair, its density and any pigment already there.

03 — APPROVE

You look at the drawn brows in the mirror. If the arch, thickness or length doesn’t feel like you, we adjust and redraw until you’re happy to go ahead.

04 — TATTOO

Only then do we tattoo, following the approved map. Fresh brows look different from healed ones, and pigment may fade over time. See our treatment process.

READ BEFORE YOU BOOK

WHAT A BROW
TATTOO CAN DO

Eyebrow tattooing can add shape, definition and the look of fuller brows, and it can save you drawing them on each morning. The aim is to enhance your natural features, not to change who you are.

Your result depends on your skin, any existing pigment, how you heal, your lifestyle and your aftercare. Pigment may fade or change over time, so we can’t promise a fixed result or permanent colour. Brow tattooing is cosmetic. It doesn’t replace medical treatment for skin or hair-loss conditions.

For a fuller explanation, read Healing, Results and Aftercare.

MAPPING QUESTIONS

BEFORE THE
FIRST LINE

Your map is drawn by Olha Po, who has worked in cosmetic tattooing since 2016 and developed her expertise through international training and the study of European permanent makeup techniques.

Questions about how long results last, comfort, cost and healing are answered on our Common Questions page.

Can I change the drawn shape?

Yes. The drawing is there for you to check. If the arch, thickness or length doesn’t feel right, tell us and we’ll redraw it before any tattooing starts.

Will both brows be identical?

Most faces aren’t perfectly symmetrical, so we map for balance rather than an exact mirror image. We’ll show you where your features differ and how the drawn shape allows for it.

Can I bring a photo of brows I like?

Please do. A reference helps us understand the look you want. We then adapt it to your own measurements and natural brow, so it suits your face rather than copying someone else’s.

What if I already have a brow tattoo?

Existing pigment affects where and how a new shape can be mapped. We’ll assess it first, and in some cases correction comes before anything new. See Cosmetic Tattoo Correction and Removal.
