Please note: These ranges are general estimates and may not reflect current prices at every salon. At Posh Deluxe, the initial cosmetic tattoo appointment and the perfecting session are charged separately.

What’s included in the price
Your initial cosmetic tattoo appointment involves more than applying pigment. At Posh Deluxe, the process includes:
- A consultation to discuss your desired result, skin type, colouring and relevant medical history.
- Custom mapping and design, which you approve before the tattooing begins.
- The initial cosmetic tattoo treatment, tailored to the selected service.
- Aftercare guidance to help you care for the treated area as it heals.
Please note: The perfecting session is not included in the initial treatment price and is charged separately. It is generally scheduled around 6–8 weeks after your first appointment, depending on the treatment and healing progress.
When comparing quotes, check whether the initial treatment and perfecting session are priced separately or together so you can understand the full cost before booking.
What affects the price
- The treatment. Hair strokes and combination brows take longer and need more precision than shading alone.
- The artist’s experience. Award-winning, highly trained artists charge more, and their work is usually easier to maintain and correct.
- Your skin. Oily or mature skin can need a different technique or an extra session to hold pigment well.
- Existing tattoo. Correcting or covering old work takes more time than starting fresh, and sometimes needs lightening first.
- What’s included. Perfecting sessions, aftercare products and follow-up support all affect the total.

Brows
Brows are the most popular cosmetic tattoo. Ombre brows give a soft, powdered makeup look. Nano brows create fine hair strokes for a natural finish. Combination brows blend the two, with strokes at the front and shading through the tail. Combination brows usually cost a little more because they take longer.

Lips
Lip blush adds soft colour and definition, and can help lips look more balanced. It’s usually done in passes, with the perfecting session refining the colour once healed. Read our complete lip blush guide.
Eyeliner
Eyeliner tattoo ranges from a subtle lash-line enhancement to a defined wing. Prices vary with the style and thickness. Find out more in What Is an Eyeliner Tattoo?
The real cost over time
Cosmetic tattoo pigment gradually fades, so it’s worth considering both the initial appointment and potential future maintenance when planning your budget.
- Perfecting session: Usually scheduled around 6–8 weeks after the initial appointment and charged separately at Posh Deluxe.
- Colour boost: Often considered after 12–24 months, depending on the treatment, your skin and how the pigment fades.
- Full refresh: May be considered after several years if the pigment has faded significantly.
For example, if you choose ombre brows at Posh Deluxe, the initial treatment costs $690, and the perfecting session costs $285. That brings the combined cost of the initial treatment and perfecting session to $975, before any future maintenance.
Your actual long-term cost will depend on the treatment you choose and how your cosmetic tattoo fades over time. Read Cosmetic Tattoo Touch-Up: When and Why You Need One to learn more about maintenance.
Why the cheapest option can cost more
A low price can be tempting, but cosmetic tattoo is hard to undo. Poor colour choice, uneven shape or pigment placed too deep can mean paying for correction or laser removal before you can have the work redone properly. That often costs more than choosing an experienced artist in the first place.
Before you book anywhere, ask:
- Can I see healed results, not just fresh ones?
- Is the perfecting session included?
- What pigments do you use, and how do you choose my colour?
- What happens if I’m not happy with the healed result?
Frequently asked questions
Eyeliner tattoo in Perth typically costs $590, depending on the style and whether a wing is included. The price at Posh Deluxe includes your perfecting session.
At Posh Deluxe, your perfecting session 6 to 8 weeks after your first appointment is included. Later colour boosts are charged separately.
Nano hair strokes take longer and need more precision to look natural, so they usually cost a little more than shading alone.
