Frequently Asked questions

How can I book?

We’ve created a beautiful studio based in New Lambton where you’ll feel right at home. Our address is 2/11 Alma Road, New Lambton. As you enter, feel everything else fall away and take a moment to say ‘yes’ to yourself. We can’t wait to welcome you into our space!

Cosmetic tattooing is also known as micro pigmentation or semi-permanent makeup. It consists of pigment being inserted below the top layer of the dermis with sterile micro needles to mimic hair strokes or makeup which enhance the features of the face.

You must be 18 years of age to get a cosmetic tattoo at Arch by Jessica Riley.

Once we’ve completed your new brows you’ll take a look at them for the first time, which can often feel a mix of nervous excitement. From here it is normal to:

  • LOVE them
  • feel they are too dark
  • feel they are different to what you are used to
  • feel they are too big

Rest assured your new brows will settle. During the healing period your brows will appear darker due to surface pigment oxidising and intentional colour selection. As the skin heals, the colour softens and flakes to reveal the final result. Brows are typically fully settled and visible 4 weeks post treatment. We recommend you don’t book your eyebrow appointment close to important events, as brows may appear more intense during healing.

Just had your lips tattooed? Here’s what to expect! After treatment your lips will be swollen and the colour will appear brighter/stronger.

  • Swelling usually subsides within 24 hours
  • Peeling occurs during healing
  • Many clients heal in 4 days, some up to 7 days

⚠️ If you are prone to cold sores, lip tattooing can reactivate the virus. If you notice blistering, stop applying aftercare cream to that area. The pros and cons of brow tattooing Benefits:

  • Great for shape definition
  • Fills areas that won’t grow
  • Improves symmetry (to an extent)
  • Saves time on waxing and tinting
  • Low maintenance beauty


Important considerations:

  • Low maintenance ≠ no maintenance
  • Not a full makeup replacement for everyone
  • Skin condition affects retention
  • Periodic maintenance is required
  • Colour correction or removal may be needed over time

You’ll receive an email after booking with details of a topical numbing gel to apply prior to your appointment. Most clients are very comfortable (many even fall asleep), though mild sensation is normal. Sensitive skin clients may feel slightly more.

We aim to create low-maintenance tattooing.

  • Most clients return 1.5–2.5 years for brow colour boost
  • Lips typically last longer
  • Return when colour fades or becomes patchy
  • Brows: 12–24 months
  • Lip blush: 2–3 years (often longer)

Pigment may fade faster due to:

  • sun exposure
  • active skincare (retinol, AHAs)
  • skin treatments (laser, peels, etc.)

Colour boost sessions are recommended to keep results fresh.

  • No alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen or caffeine 48 hours prior
  • No sunburn 2 weeks prior
  • No Botox 3 weeks prior
  • No filler 6 weeks prior
  • Stop strong retinol/vitamin A 4 weeks prior


Lips only:
Keep lips very hydrated in the week leading up to your appointment.

Detailed aftercare instructions are provided on the day. For 10 days post-treatment:

  • No exercise
  • No swimming pools
  • No saunas or spas
  • No makeup on or near the treated area

We do not tattoo during pregnancy. After birth, we recommend waiting 4–6 months for hormones to settle. If breastfeeding, express for a couple of feeds after treatment if you proceed.

Yes — once healed (after 2 weeks), apply sunscreen to the treated area whenever exposed to sun to prevent premature fading and maintain true colour.

Yes — we use single-use sterile equipment and follow strict hygiene practices. All surfaces are disinfected and bedding is changed between every client.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cosmetic tattooing?

Cosmetic tattooing is a semi-permanent beauty treatment where pigment is placed into the skin to enhance your natural features. At Arch, we offer brow tattooing, lip blush and eyeliner tattooing, with every treatment designed around you and the look you want.

Absolutely. This is one of the things we love most about cosmetic tattooing. The aim is to enhance what you already have rather than make you look like a completely different person. Your shape, colour and treatment are chosen to suit you.

It depends on the treatment and your skin, but brow tattoos generally last around 12–24 months, while lip blush can last around 2–3 years or sometimes longer. Things like sun exposure, skincare and skin treatments can affect how quickly your colour fades. If your colour starts to fade or become patchy, a colour boost appointment can help freshen everything back up.

Most clients find it very comfortable. You’ll be given information about a topical numbing gel before your appointment and a little sensation is completely normal. Some clients even have a little nap while we’re working!

Your skin will go through a little healing process before you see the final result. Brows can look darker or stronger at first, then soften as they heal. Brows are generally fully settled around four weeks after treatment.

We don’t tattoo during pregnancy. After giving birth, we recommend waiting around 4–6 months for your hormones to settle. If you’re breastfeeding, please contact us before booking so we can chat through your individual circumstances.

You need to be 18 or over to have cosmetic tattooing at Arch.

You’ll receive all of your pre-appointment information after booking so you know exactly what to do before your treatment. This includes things to avoid before your appointment such as sun exposure, Botox, filler, certain skincare products and alcohol.

It’s completely normal for your brows or lips to look stronger immediately after treatment. Your brows may look darker while they heal and lip tattooing can cause some swelling and brighter colour at first. Everything will soften as your skin heals. You’ll also receive detailed aftercare instructions so you’ll know exactly what to do once you leave the studio.

You’ll be given your aftercare instructions on the day. For the first 10 days, you’ll need to avoid things like exercise, swimming, saunas, spas and makeup on or around the treated area. Once everything has healed, sunscreen is important to help protect your colour and prevent premature fading.

Arch Cosmetic Tattooing is located in New Lambton, Newcastle, and we welcome clients from Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Port Stephens and across the Hunter Region. If you’re ready to find out which treatment is right for you, you can book your cosmetic tattoo appointment online.
