Eyes Service overview

What Is Cosmetic Tattooing?

Permanent makeup, semi-permanent makeup, microblading, and cosmetic tattooing are synonymous terms for tattooing focused on cosmetic enhancements. These procedures involve implanting pigments into the dermis to create long-lasting enhancements that look natural or mimic traditional makeup.

At Flamingo Room, our “less is best” philosophy means subtle, natural-looking cosmetic tattoos that age gracefully. We specialize in eyebrow, eyeliner, and lip services, strategically layering pigment over two sessions to enhance your unique beauty—because true confidence doesn’t need a heavy hand.

While often referred to as ‘permanent,’ cosmetic tattoos naturally fade over time. This isn’t a flaw—it’s a feature! It means your enhancements can evolve with you, always looking their best.

What affects fading?
• Sun exposure
• Age
• Medications
• Your body’s immune response
• Skincare routine

Enhanced Eyes

Eyeliner tattoos provide a long-lasting solution that enhances the eyes by making them look brighter, more defined and alert, achieving a soft yet polished look.

Convenient and Time-Saving

Permanent eyeliner eliminates the need for daily application, offering the convenience of waking up with makeup and saving time on daily beauty routines. This is especially beneficial for individuals with busy schedules or those who struggle with applying traditional eyeliner due to poor eyesight or unsteady hands.

Durability and Waterproof

Eyeliner tattoos offer smudge-proof results that can last for years, allowing individuals to enjoy defined eyes and lashes 24/7 without worrying about makeup smudging or wearing off. This durability is particularly advantageous for those with active lifestyles or oily skin that may cause traditional makeup to smudge.

Lash line

Lash line tattoo is a subtle yet powerful way to enhance your eyes. By applying pigments along the lash line, it creates the illusion of fuller, darker lashes, making your eyes look more vibrant and awake. Perfect for those wanting a natural look, and if later on you want more impact, we can easily increase the size!

Bottom Lash Line

Lower lash line tattoo is an elegant way to enhance your eyes. Applying pigments along the lower lash line, adds depth and definition, making your eyes appear larger and more expressive. Perfect for those seeking a more make-up look. If you have sparse or no lashes we can also create the illusion of hair follicles for a softer effect.

Classic Liner

Create your perfect look with our versatile Classic Liner. Whether you want subtle definition or bold drama, we’ll craft a look that’s uniquely you! At your service we’ll discuss if you wish to have:

  • Classic or bold size
  • A wing or wedge
  • Softly shaded or crisp clean edge

Foxy Liner

Foxy Liner is a shaded liner style designed to create a lifted, elongated eye shape with clean structure and a diffused finish.

Using layered tones of rich brown pigment, the colour is softly dispersed to avoid a hard edge, resulting in a smooth, elevated look with depth and control.

  1. We cannot tattoo water lines, connect the bottom and top lines, or extend the tattoo to the tear duct, as doing so risks migration and can cause damage to the eye.
  2. I will not tattoo dramatic wing styles, as they do not age well.
  3. If you have severely hooded eyelids (covered crease) or significant skin laxity at the lash line you may not be a good candidate for eyeliner. Please book a consultation if you are unsure about your candidacy.
  4. Once healed, black eyeliner pigment will transition to a dark smoky grey.

Before proceeding with any tattoo or scar revision service Please review the following medical considerations carefully, as certain health conditions may require a doctor’s note or make you ineligible for treatment.

Conditions that prevent tattoo and Scar Revision services:

  • Current cancer or leukaemia diagnosis.

Specific Service Considerations

Brows

Eyeliner

  • Not suitable for those: using prostaglandin analog eye drops for glaucoma, has glaucoma, those with Blepharitis.
  • Lash Extensions: Long-term use of lash extensions may impact tattoo results. Clients who’ve worn extensions for several years have a high probability of poor and uneven pigment retention resulting in underwhelming results This is due to repeated mechanical trauma and glue-related irritation, which can create microscopic scarring and reduce pigment uptake.
  • Remove lash extensions 2 weeks prior; can’t be re-applied until 5 weeks post-touch-up.
  • Wait 1 weeks after the last lash lift or tint service.
  • Discontinue eyelash growth serum 3 months prior.
  • Wait 9 months or more post-surgery in or around the eye.

tattooing is not recommended if you:

  • Use tanning beds without protecting the tattooed area.
  • Suntan without using sunscreen to protect your tattoo.
  • Don’t want to commit to touch-ups.
