Cosmetic Tattoo Specialist in Melbourne – VK Brows

Valerie Kalafatis is a qualified professional, who provides a range of cosmetic procedures to enhance the appearance of your lips, eyes, and eyebrows. Here's a brief overview of each:

• Lip Blush Tattoo: Our lip blush tattoo is a semi-permanent procedure that involves depositing pigment into the lips, enhancing their colour and shape. It creates a well-defined lip contour and the illusion of fuller lips. The tattooed colour gradually fades over time, typically lasting 1 to 3 years.
• Eyeliner Tattoo: It is also known as permanent eyeliner or cosmetic tattooing. Our eyeliner tattoo procedure involves applying pigment to the lash line to mimic the appearance of eyeliner. This technique enhances the shape of your eyes, provides the illusion of fuller lashes, and saves time on daily makeup application. The tattooed eyeliner typically lasts for several years before a touch-up is needed.
• Microblading Eyebrows: Microblading is a highly sought-after technique for eyebrow enhancement. We use a small handheld tool with microneedles to create fine, hair-like strokes and deposit pigment into the skin. This eyebrow feathering technique fills in sparse areas, defines the shape of your eyebrows, and achieves excellent results. It creates natural-looking hair strokes for a soft, feathery effect that seamlessly blends with your natural brow hair. The effects will typically last 1 to 2 years.
• Brow Sculpting: Brow sculpting involves shaping and defining your eyebrows using various techniques such as waxing, threading, or tweezing. We aim to create aesthetically pleasing eyebrow shapes that complement your facial features. Brow sculpting is a temporary solution, with results lasting from a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on hair regrowth.

It's crucial to note that these procedures should only be performed by well-trained professionals in reputable cosmetic tattoo clinics. This will help ensure safety and you can achieve the desired look. Individual experiences and outcomes may vary, so it's recommended to consult with a professional before undergoing any cosmetic tattoo or eyebrow sculpting procedure.

Consultation, Procedure, and Follow-up at VK Brows

When you choose VK Brows for your cosmetic tattoo, our consultation, procedure, and follow-up process typically involve the following steps:

Consultation:

• Begin by scheduling a consultation with our experienced cosmetic tattoo artist.
• You will discuss your desired results, concerns, and expectations. We will assess your features and skin type and provide suitable options tailored to you.
• Our expert will explain the procedure, including the techniques involved, the type of pigments used, and any potential risks or complications.
• You will also receive information about pre-care instructions, such as avoiding certain medications or activities before the procedure.

Procedure:

• On the day of the procedure, we will ensure a clean and sanitised treatment area to maintain a sterile environment.
• A numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
• Valerie will use specialised tools, such as a microblade or tattoo machine, to implant pigments into the skin, creating the desired shape and colour.
• We will communicate with you throughout the procedure to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
• Depending on the treatment, the procedure may take several hours to complete.

Follow-up and Aftercare:

• After the procedure, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and maximise the tattoo's longevity.
• These instructions may include avoiding water contact, excessive sweating, direct sunlight, and applying recommended aftercare products.
• It is normal to experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few days.

Initially, the tattoo will appear darker and more intense than the desired result. Over time, it will lighten as the skin heals and the true colour will gradually emerge. A follow-up appointment may be scheduled a few weeks after the initial procedure to assess the healed results and perform any necessary touch-ups or adjustments.

It's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by us and reach out to us if you have any concerns or questions during the healing process. Each individual's healing and response to the tattoo may vary, so patience is key as the final results develop.

At VK Brows, we commit to delivering exceptional cosmetic tattooing experiences, helping you achieve the confidence and beauty you desire. Schedule a consultation with Valerie by filling out this online form and embark on a transformative journey toward lasting beauty.
