Custom Cosmetic Tattoo Consultation

A successful cosmetic tattoo begins with an in-depth consultation where the artist and client discuss goals, preferred style, and the subtle details that shape a harmonious final look. This conversation allows the artist to assess features, undertones, and proportions to ensure the result supports natural structure and symmetry.

Establishing the Desired Look

Clients are encouraged to share inspiration and preferences to help define what level of enhancement feels right for them. The goal is to create subtle definition rather than anything overly bold or artificial.


Skin and Pigment Evaluation

Each individual’s skin tone, texture, and undertones influence pigment selection. Choosing the correct shade ensures the healed result remains soft, balanced, and natural.


Microblading and Brow Shading

Eyebrow enhancement is one of the most requested cosmetic tattoo services at Indy Tattoo Works. Artists offer microblading, machine shading, and combination techniques to build fullness, shape, and refined definition.

Microblading for Fine Hair Strokes

Microblading is ideal for clients who want the appearance of natural hair. The strokes are carefully placed to mimic real growth patterns and blend seamlessly with existing brows.


Soft Shading for Added Depth

Shaded brows provide a powder-soft finish that enhances shape without looking heavy. This technique creates a consistent backdrop of color that supports facial symmetry.


Combination Brows for Balanced Texture

For clients wanting both texture and structure, artists blend hair strokes with soft shading to achieve a polished yet natural look.


Lip Blushing Services

Lip blushing enhances natural lip color, defines the border, and creates a softer, more balanced shape. This service is ideal for clients who want a subtle tint that enhances natural features without appearing overdone.

Enhancing Natural Pigmentation

Lip blushing elevates the native tone rather than masking it. The result is a gentle flush that adds dimension to the lips and brightens the overall complexion.


Refining Shape and Symmetry

Artists carefully map lip shape to ensure evenness. Soft pigment application supports hydration and gives the lips a fuller, smoother appearance.


Permanent Eyeliner Application

Permanent eyeliner offers long-lasting definition without daily application. Indy Tattoo Works provides subtle lash line enhancement as well as more defined styles depending on the client’s preference.

Lash Line Enhancement

A thin line along the lashes creates the illusion of thicker, fuller lashes and gently frames the eyes without looking overly dramatic.


Soft or Defined Eyeliner Styles

Depending on eye shape and comfort, the artist can create a delicate, natural line or a slightly more pronounced look, always ensuring the design complements the client’s natural features.


Cosmetic Tattoo Aftercare and Healing

Proper aftercare plays a key role in ensuring pigments heal evenly and retain their intended softness. After each service, artists provide personalized instructions based on the technique used and the client’s skin characteristics.

Initial Healing Process

During the first several days, the area requires gentle cleansing and protection. Clients are guided through what to expect as pigments settle and the skin naturally renews itself.


Maintaining Long-Term Results

Cosmetic tattoos soften with time, so clients receive recommendations on how to keep the results looking fresh, including when to plan touch-ups and how to protect the area from fading.
