See the difference with medical tattooing for brows
Make a lasting impact with stunning brows
Have you over-plucked or lacking hair in areas of your brows?
Do you touch your face in the day and worry about smudging?
Would you like fuller or more defined brows?
If you answered Yes to any of these questions you could benefit from Semi-permanent Makeup / Permanent Makeup / Micro-pigmentation / Microblading.
These four terms all describe the process of implanting pigment into the skin to add colour, definition and symmetry to your brow shape.
Each patient is assessed individually by taking in your face shape, brow bone, skin tone and texture, expectations and desired outcome.
We will work with you to offer the best possible outcome for your brows.
Shading
Ombre or shaded brows are a new way to have semi-permanent makeup. If you’re looking for softer but defined brows, this effect gives a gentle, realistic result. It’s real, but glamorous at the same time. The starting point of the brow – the bulb – is a faded colour, as is the top, whereas the lower line is sharper in definition creating a neat brow. If your preference is a fuller brow, this allows you to wear your brows big, but without overpowering your face. This can be achieved in dark, medium, auburn or light brown. A beautiful effect for all ages.
Hairstroke
Hairstroke brows or microblading is a great way to fill in gaps and create definition and symmetry. Some people just require a few hair strokes and the rest of the brow shaded. This can be a lovely option to gain a more 3D effect of added strokes and softer or more defined shading. Not all skin types are suitable for this type of brow, especially oily, large pored skins. You will be advised during your consultation as to whether you are suitable. Whatever look you desire, we will work with you to give you the best outcome.

Why choose semi-permanent make up?
- Enhance your eyes
- Natural but stunning final results
- Look as gorgeous when you wake up as you do when you go to bed!
- No issues with running make up on holidays, when swimming or doing sports
- No half wiped off brows during the day
- No more hassle of taking make up off at night!
What can I expect?
After a treatment, the area will look red, sometimes raised, and darker than the desired result. It can take three to seven days to heal and slight sloughing may occur. The colour will look approximately 50% lighter in the first week or two, with the true colour coming through at the 4-week mark.
An annual colour boost keeps semi-permanent makeup at its best.
The risks involved are minimal;
- As with all injection sites there is a risk of infection. To minimise this risk the aftercare needs to be strictly adhered to.
- On a few occasions the skin does not retain the pigment well. This may result in an extra treatment.
Consultation
An initial consultation of half an hour is required to determine your expectations and suitability of treatment.
A sensitivity patch test can be administered if you have any concerns regarding allergies, this needs to be 24 hours pre-treatment.
Pre-Treatment

No other brows treatments allowed (including dying) for 2 weeks prior to tattooing.
Treatment
Permanent Makeup is administered over two to three sessions.
The treatment is NOT painful but can be tender. Anaesthetic can be used before and during the treatment to control the sensation.
The cost includes two treatments and the third treatment if needed is at a reduced rate.
Aftercare (For 7-14 days after the procedure)
NO WATER EXPOSURE for 48 hours and then minimal water for the following week.
AVOID EXPOSURE TO SUN, TANNING BEDS AND UV RAYS. Use effective sunscreen 30SPF or higher for protection.
YOU MUST TAKE anti-viral tablets before and after each treatment if you have EVER had a cold sore.

About Us
Both Rae Denman and Kim Duffy are highly experienced permanent make-up specialists.
Introducing Kim Duffy a permanent makeup specialist that concentrates on brows and liner.
“The first time I heard about cosmetic tattooing was when a friend, who was experiencing frequent hot sweats due to the menopause, mentioned she’d had enough of constantly worrying if her eyebrows had slipped off her face, and had booked to have her brows tattooed. I was intrigued, I’d never heard of cosmetic tattooing before. She invited me along to her appointment and I watched her transformation. She was a changed person. It was actually life-changing for her and ultimately for me, as her experience set me on my path to train as a cosmetic tattooist. That was 7 years ago.
I love learning what this industry has to offer, taking courses to personally develop, enhance and improve my knowledge and techniques in all aspects of permanent make-up. I genuinely believe that if someone chooses me to carry out their procedure, and places their trust in me, that I give them an enhancement that they love and will improve and enhance their lives.” Kim Duffy
Rae Denman has extensive medical tattoo training and works with scarring and lack of pigment on a daily basis.
“My medical tattooing and cosmetic permanent makeup practice is all about you, the client.
