• First Session (all techniques) - $850

• Second Session at the 6-10 weeks follow up - $195

The first session starts with a chat about your brows, you can show some pictures of brows you particularly like and how you would usually do your brows on a daily basis. What is included in the first session is:

• Mapping out your ideal brow shape with brow pencil for you to approve first.

• Cleaning up any stray hairs.

• Advice on which technique to use for your skin and brow type.

• Custom blended brow pigment, implanted with sterile single-use needles. We use all vegan, cruelty free pigments.

• We use numbing creams, there is minimal discomfort.

• A walkthrough of aftercare best practice – with aftercare products provided for you.

Come in for a brow shape with us, we can optionally do a henna tint as well, which you can try out to see if you like a fuller looking brow as it leaves a powdery stain on the skin.

Cosmetic Tattooing of any kind is considered permanent, with the advancement of cosmetic tattoo pigments though - they are designed to fade naturally and softly over time.

Your cosmetic tattoo fades in varying degrees for each individual. The variety of factors which can impact how fast you will experience fading includes: sun exposure, medications, certain skincare such as Retinol or exfoliating acids/peels, the condition of your skin, smoking and your general lifestyle.

The pigments we use are of the highest quality, sourced because of their results to fade softly and naturally over time and tend to last really well in the skin but a major factor is determined by your skin and lifestyle.

I prefer to do natural brows, that fade softly over time where you can then change the shape if desired, rather than a bold approach as these type of brows can last a really long time and there is not much room for change other than laser removal.

As the brows fade they need a touch up to revive the colour. I recommend we meet every 1 or 2 years.

Most new clients to Ethereal Studio Co require a touch up session, which can be done between 6-10 weeks after your first visit, this session is where we can add more depth or adjust the shape if required. After this, a small amount of clients need an extra session. This revision session may be required such in the case of a difficult skin type, not adhering to pre/after care instructions, change of mind in style, and for cover ups of existing tattooing.

If you have had your brows done by another artist, it's not considered a touch up for us – it may be a correction or cover up which is more complex. I need to assess your skin condition and what pigment is visible currently and go from there. First step is to send a clear, no makeup brow photo, before booking a consultation to see if our techniques will be sufficient and suitable to providing your brows with beautiful results.

Contraindications for cosmetic tattooing, or reasons why tattooing may not be suitable for you at this time can be the following:

• Under 18

• Pregnant or breastfeeding

• Have recently sunburnt, have active acne or eczema in the brow

• Undergoing Chemotherapy (recommended to wait 3+ months after)

• Suffer severe allergies

• Use of prescription acne treatments such as Accutane or Retinoic Acid/Tretinoin in the past 12 months

• Use of Strong Antibiotics or Tetracycline medications (minocycline, doxycycline, etc.) in the past 1 month

• Prone to keloid scarring

Here’s what we recommend leading up to your tattoo appointment:

• Brow waxing can be done at least 2 days prior if desired.

• Brow Lamination wait 5 weeks pre & post.

• Brow Tinting or Henna wait 2-3 weeks pre & post.

• Blood thinners such as ibuprofen, alcohol or fish oil within 24 hours prior to your appointment and avoid caffeine right before.

• Botox or fillers – wait at least 2 weeks pre & post.

• Alpha Hydroxyls (AHAs), Retin-A/Retinol, Lactic, Glycolic Acids, Vitamin C products near the brow area for 2 weeks prior and after the brow treatment, avoid these actives on the brow area in general.

• Brow growth serums, microdermabrasion, microneedling, laser or chemical peel facials within 1 month of the treatment.

• Medications: Wait at least 2 weeks from finishing antibiotics or steroids

The "down time" for this treatment is usually 3-7 days of visible healing. I recommend avoiding taking any holidays or attending important events during this time. The actual healing time is approximately 5 weeks for the full results.

Here’s the usual healing journey:

Day 1: Brows are shiny with some redness, they may feel like a mild sunburn. The brow colour can appear warm/red in tone, this is normal.

Day 2-4: Brows are darker and bold. The brows begin to feel itchy and dry.

Day 4-10: As the skin is healing, it begins to flake and shed the top layer of the skin. Do not pick or scratch.

Day 10-40: After all the flakes have sloughed off naturally, a new layer of skin covers the layer in which the pigment was implanted, the brow colour will not be completely visible until the skin is completely healed, the epidermis takes around 40 days to go through it’s healing stage. Try to be patient as the depth and tone can fluctuate during this stage. You can use a brow pencil if you wish after day 10.
