Cosmetic Tattoo Course in Brisbane

A cosmetic tattoo course (sometimes called a tattooing course or permanent makeup course) teaches you how to perform semi-permanent make-up safely and effectively. You’ll learn how to use cosmetic tattoo machines, perform client consultations, choose pigments and deliver results across brows, lips, eyeliner and even areola tattoo and scar camouflage.

Unlike generic tattoo courses, a professional cosmetic tattooing course also covers Infection Control Standards, skin anatomy and aftercare. You’ll leave not just with techniques but with the confidence to work in compliance with health regulations.

Why enrol in cosmetic tattooing training? A few good reasons:

• High demand: Permanent makeup services in Australia are projected to grow through 2025, with eyebrow tattooing and lip blush being the top requested services.
• Diverse treatments: From powder/ombre eyebrow tattoo to eyeliner tattoo and lip tattoo, the skills you gain can be offered to a wide range of clients.
• Return on investment: Average brow tattoo sessions cost $600-$900 in Brisbane. Even as a beginner, you’ll see your training costs covered quickly.
• Flexibility: Work from home, set up a studio or freelance in established clinics.

To start your cosmetic tattooing course, here’s what you’ll need:

• Age: 18 years or older.
• English: For client consultation and aftercare communication.
• Infection control: Must have (or complete with your tattoo course) the SHBBINF002 Maintain Infection Control Standards unit.
• No prior tattooing experience required: Beginner courses are for complete beginners.

Some students ask about government-funded tattoo courses. While cosmetic tattoo training is not always fully funded, some funding may apply depending on your state and eligibility.

This cosmetic tattoo training is for:

• Beauty therapists wanting to add cosmetic tattooing to their services.
• Beginners with no experience who want to get into the cosmetic tattoo industry.
• Nurses and health professionals wanting to do paramedical tattooing (e.g. areola tattoo after breast surgery).
• Entrepreneurs wanting to start a high-income home studio business.

In other words: whether you want creative freedom, professional growth or to offer treatments that really change lives, this course has a path for you.

A good cosmetic tattooing course isn’t just about learning how to hold a machine. It’s about understanding why techniques work, how to adapt them for different clients and how to deliver safe, long-lasting results. That’s why our Brisbane-based training covers a balance of theory modules and hands-on practice.

Here’s a deeper look at what you’ll take away:

• Skin types and anatomy. Learn how pigment behaves in oily, dry, mature and sensitive skin types — and why the same technique won’t work for everyone. We’ll break down the Fitzpatrick scale, healing timelines and factors that affect pigment retention.
• Colour theory and pigment selection. Discover how undertones, overtones and pigment chemistry interact. You’ll learn how to choose the right shades for brows, lips and eyeliner and how to neutralise or correct old tattoos that may have healed to grey, blue or orange.
• Machine brows. From soft powder brows to defined ombre brows and combo techniques, you’ll practice creating brow styles for different face shapes, hair patterns and client preferences.
• Lip tattoo and lip blush. Develop the skills to enhance lip borders, correct asymmetry, and achieve natural or more defined lip finishes. We’ll also cover common challenges like pigment migration and healing in sensitive lip tissue.
• Eyeliner tattooing. Master lash enhancements, shaded liners and classic tattoo eyeliner while understanding how eye shapes influence design and technique.
• Areola tattooing basics. Get introduced to paramedical tattooing for breast cancer survivors and post-surgery clients, including colour matching and the fundamentals of 3D nipple effects.
• Client consultation. Learn to shape and map brows and lips with precision, manage client expectations realistically and provide professional advice on suitability, healing and long-term results.
• Hygiene & safety. Infection control standards are non-negotiable in this industry. We’ll walk you through sterile set-ups, single-use protocols, patch testing and compliance with Queensland Health regulations.
• Aftercare education. You’ll be trained to guide clients through their healing journey with clear dos and don’ts, ensuring better pigment retention, reduced complications and happier long-term results.

By the end of this program, you won’t just “know how” to tattoo — you’ll understand why techniques work and how to adapt for different clients and build trust through safe, consistent, natural results.
