Tattoo Process — MIEN BROWS

Achieving symmetry via the golden ratio.

It has long been said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The perception of beauty is subjective; we just know it when we see it.

If a face is in proportion, we are more likely to notice it and find it beautiful.

However evidence shows our perception of beauty is hard wired.

Based on how closely the features of one’s face reflect phi in their proportions.

The Golden Ratio appears extensively in the human face.

And can be used as a blueprint for minor changes that dramatically enhance physical beauty.

Beauty fads come and go, and eyebrow shaping is no exception.

But what if there were a mathematical rule we could cite as hands-down the perfect shape?

Using the Golden Ratio we can craft your brows to achieve the perfect face.

At Mien Brows we use this mathematical technique along with the latest in equipment to achieve your perfect look.

Great artists proportion their works according to the Golden Ratio.

Artists throughout history, like Botticelli and Leonardo daVinci, have used the golden ratio, or variations of it, as the basis for their compositions.

A scientific approach to improving your overall look.

.Distance from Top-of-the-head to Chin divided by Width-of-head equals .phi

Length-of-Lips divided by Width-of-Nose equals .phi
Outside distance between Eyes divided by Length-of-Lips equals .phi

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the most common ones we get. If you would like to know something else, give us a call and we will happily answer any questions you may have.

Microblading, also known as Feather Stroke Tattoo, is a form of Cosmetic Tattooing.
In this process, we implant tiny hair like strokes into the top layer of the Dermis of the skin, using a one-use sterile hand tool.
This is a semi – permanent process, as pigment is implanted on a superficial layer of the skin, which lasts up to 12 months, depending on your skin type.
The Ombré technique is a soft and misty powder filled brow, similar to a brow powder makeup look. The tails of the brows will be darker and fade into a softer look towards the front of the brow.
If you are pregnant or breast feeding, it is advisable that you do not go ahead with this procedure.
If you are prone to Keloid Scarring.
If you are suffering from any major health conditions.
If you have any allergies to hair dyes, makeup or jewellery.
If you are taking medication.
If you are currently undergoing Chemotherapy treatment, you will need your Doctors approval, and a letter from your specialist.
We advise not to consume Aspirin, Ibuprofen, caffeine or alcohol 24-48 hours prior to your procedure and fish oil one week prior. However, do not discontinue any medications before consulting your Doctor.
Tattooing will not be performed over blemishes, sores and moles around the brow area.
Eye conditions or cold sores
Avoid cosmetic injectables, microdermabrasion, skin peels etc at least two weeks prior to cosmetic tattooing and two weeks after.
If you are sick with a bacterial or viral infection, you will need to call us immediately to reschedule your appointment.
If you have any of these contraindications, you must phone us for a personal consultation on 1300 627 697.
Sun exposure, the regeneration of skin cells over time, skin type, the choice of colour, and bleeding during the procedure will affect the final result of your treatment.
Retinol and active ingredients on the face, please avoid putting active skin care on the tattoo area, as this can discolour the tattoo and fade the pigment.
When the skin bleeds more during the procedure, pigment is pushed out of the skin, therefore retention is poor. To avoid this make sure you avoid alcohol 48 hours prior to treatment, and if you are on blood thinners to let us know prior to treatment.
Long term, your new brow tattoo will fade and shrink over time, therefore yearly touch ups are advised to keep your tattoo looking fresh.

Prior to your cosmetic tattoo procedure we recommend you avoid any cosmetic procedures two weeks before and after your appointment with us. This includes cosmetic injectables, skin peels, microdermabrasion etc. If you have an upcoming surgery, or recovering from surgery, please contact us immediately as this will affect your appointment.

We apply an anaesthetic cream prior to your procedure, and continue to keep your brows, eyes or lips numb during your procedure to keep you comfortable.
Pain thresholds differ from person to person; however, every effort is made to keep you as comfortable as possible.
For most clients, a minimum of two treatments is usually required, at least 6-8 weeks apart.
Straight after your first treatment, your new tattoo will look amazing, with no swelling and minimal redness and discomfort.
On day 2 – 5 your brow tattoo will appear bolder and darker, as the area that was treated will slightly scab.
During day 1 – 4 you must apply a cream that we provide to the area, morning and night, and when showering to protect the area from infection, and to quicken the healing process.
This means you cannot wet your brows in the shower or when cleansing your face for the first 4 days.
On day 5 you can treat your brows as you would normally – cleansing, makeup etc.
During week 2 – 4 your brows may appear to have lost some hair strokes! This is normal, and just part of the healing process. These hair strokes re surface during the 5th week after treatment.
To make a booking phone us on 1300 627 697 or book online via our website.
Please read the contraindications and terms and conditions before booking in for the procedure.
If you have an existing Cosmetic Tattoo, please send us through a photo of your eyebrows, eyeliner or lips in natural lighting without any make-up on. We can then assess if you will have to get your old tattoo removed first. We can recommend a safe clinic for Cosmetic Tattoo removal.
