Cosmetic tattoo · Melbourne, Australia
Brow tattooing, lip blush and eyeliner with Valentina Bencic in Melbourne.
Perhaps you fill in the same gaps in your brows each morning. Perhaps you would like more colour in your lips, or a little definition along your lashes.
Start with what you would like to change. You do not need to know the name of a technique before we talk.
Choose your starting point
Permanent makeup, also called cosmetic tattooing, places pigment in the skin to create colour or definition. The approach depends on the area being treated, your starting point and the finish you have in mind.
Hairstroke · Powder brows
You may want to define sparse areas, reconsider your brow shape or spend less time filling your brows in. Hairstroke and powder brows offer different finishes: individual hair-like marks or softly shaded definition.
Your skin, existing brow hair and any previous pigment all matter when choosing an approach. Bring a photograph of your usual brow makeup and explain what you like about it—and what you would change.
Discuss your brows ↗Colour · Definition
Lip blush focuses on lip colour and definition. Your natural lip tone is part of the starting point, so selecting a shade is a conversation about your lips, rather than simply choosing from a pigment chart.
Bring a favourite lip product or an example of the colour you enjoy. Ask to see healed work as well as fresh photographs: a result immediately after treatment is a different stage from the healed finish.
Discuss lip blush ↗Lash enhancement · Eyeliner
Some clients prefer definition close to the lashes. Others want a more visible eyeliner. Think about how you like your eyes to look on a day when you are wearing little or no other makeup.
Your consultation is the place to discuss shape, placement and the amount of definition you want. Mention any existing eyeliner tattooing so it can be considered before a new design is proposed.
Discuss eyeliner ↗Your artist
A personal conversation before a lasting decision.

Before your treatment
01 / Discuss
Bring examples you like and photographs of your everyday makeup. Explain your preferences and mention any previous cosmetic tattooing, even if it has faded.
02 / Understand
Discuss suitability, the proposed design, preparation, pricing and aftercare. Clarify what the quote includes and whether follow-up appointments are expected.
03 / Decide
Take the time you need to understand the treatment. Cosmetic tattooing is a commitment: pigment can remain in the skin even as its appearance changes.
Permanent makeup questions
Both terms are commonly used for tattooing the brows, lips and eyeliner. The technique and intended finish matter more than the label. Ask what is being proposed for your features and why.
Start with the feature you would like to change and how you normally wear your makeup. If you are unsure about a technique, bring examples to your consultation. Your skin, preferences and existing pigment need to be considered together.
Yes. Mention the previous work when you enquire and provide clear photographs if requested. The remaining colour and shape need assessment before another treatment can be recommended. Adding more pigment is not automatically the right option.
Request current pricing for the treatment you are considering. Ask what is included, whether a follow-up appointment is anticipated and how any later work is charged. Mention existing tattooing when requesting a quote.
A photograph taken immediately after treatment is not the same as a healed result. Ask to see clearly labelled examples and discuss the intended finish. Healing and pigment retention vary, so another person’s photograph cannot promise your outcome.
No. Relevant health information, skin concerns and previous treatments need to be discussed before booking. Cosmetic tattooing carries risks, including infection and allergic reactions. Ask about suitability, aftercare and any medical advice needed before you decide.
Enquire about Spotswood, Moonee Ponds or Hampton. Tell Valentina your preferred location and the treatment you are considering. Your appointment location and availability will be confirmed directly.
