ENHANCE YOUR FEATURES

Professional Cosmetic Tattooing for Richmond Locals

We’ve all cringed at those obvious ‘marker-pen’, blocky tattooed eyebrows from years past, but don’t worry–our approach is very different. Our cosmetic tattooing enhances your natural beauty rather than overshadowing it, using techniques refined through decades of experience across Melbourne and Italy.

Barbara’s knowledge spans across multiple advanced techniques, including:

  • Microblading and Nano-Brows: Creates individual hair strokes that blend seamlessly with your natural brows.
  • Ombré and Brow Shading: Adds depth and fullness using a soft, powder effect for anyone looking for more coverage.
  • Combination Brows: Merges hair strokes with shading for the ultimate natural-yet-defined look.
  • Precision Eyeliner: From subtle lash enhancements, and softly shaded eyeliners to thicker eyeliners with wings that never smudge or run.
  • Lip Tattoo: Colour can be applied to redefine liplines, liplines with blending for partial colouring, or to the entire lips to mimic the look of a softer-coloured lipstick.


Each appointment begins with a consultation where we map your features and preview your new look with regular makeup. This way, you’re completely confident before we begin the actual tattooing process.

How Much Does Cosmetic Tattooing Cost?

One of the most common questions we hear is about pricing. While cosmetic tattooing represents an investment, consider this: the average woman spends 15 minutes daily on eyebrows and eyeliner. That’s over 90 hours annually!

Our pricing reflects the premium quality of our service:

  • Initial consultation: Completely free
  • Treatment prices vary based on the procedure and complexity
  • All initial new treatments include a complimentary touch-up session 4-6 weeks later
  • Results typically last 1-3 years, making the cost per day minimal


We believe in transparent pricing and will provide a detailed quote during your consultation, with no hidden fees or surprises. You can also look into our combination packages, which combine multiple types of treatments at a great price!

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Tattooing

Is cosmetic tattooing suitable for all skin types?

Yes, our techniques work beautifully on all skin types. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and recommend the best approach for peak results. Oily skin may require slightly different techniques than dry skin, but we’ve successfully treated every skin type over our 23 years.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications 24 hours before your appointment. Come with clean skin and your usual brow makeup so we can see your preferred style. We’ll handle everything else!

Initial healing takes 7-10 days, with complete healing in about 4-6 weeks. You’ll experience some minor scabbing, and the colour will appear darker initially before softening to your desired shade. We’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to help you achieve the perfect results.

Absolutely. Barbara has extensive experience in colour correction and camouflage work. However, we’ll assess your existing tattoos during your consultation and create a plan to achieve the results you desire. Laser Tattoo removal may be necessary in some cases.
