Cosmetic Tattooist careers

A Cosmetic Tattooist is a trained professional who specialises in applying semi-permanent makeup to enhance facial features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips. This process, also known as micropigmentation or permanent makeup, involves implanting pigment into the skin using fine needles.

Cosmetic Tattooists work closely with clients to design customised looks that suit individual facial structures and preferences. They must possess strong artistic skills, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of facial anatomy. In addition to performing cosmetic procedures, they may also offer services for medical tattooing—such as scar camouflage or areola reconstruction.

The role often requires certification in infection control and training in skin penetration techniques, as it involves working with the skin and needles. Cosmetic Tattooists typically operate in beauty salons, cosmetic clinics, or run their own businesses.
