CJ Cosmetic Tattoo, also known as CJ Semi Permanent Make-up, is a North Canterbury clinic run by Christine, a fully qualified Beauty Therapy and Applied Aesthetics professional and member of the Beauty Therapy Association of New Zealand. She has specialised in semi-permanent makeup since 2005, working with clients from the greater Christchurch and North Canterbury area.
The clinic offers cosmetic tattooing, also known as semi-permanent makeup, designed to give a lasting look without the daily upkeep of drawn-on eyebrows, eyeliner or lip colour. Results typically last on average 1 to 3-plus years, and treatments are tailored to each client's face shape and features.
Beyond standard cosmetic enhancement, Christine also offers nipple and areola re-pigmentation, approached with a sensitive and professional manner. All appointments are booked in advance, and the clinic operates from North Canterbury.
For anyone in Christchurch or North Canterbury tired of pencilling in eyebrows every morning or reapplying lipstick throughout the day, CJ Cosmetic Tattoo offers a semi-permanent alternative, run by a single experienced practitioner who has built her career around it.
Christine is a fully qualified Beauty Therapy and Applied Aesthetics professional and a member of the Beauty Therapy Association of New Zealand. She has specialised as a semi-permanent makeup technician since 2005, and describes getting real satisfaction from seeing clients' reactions to their results. Based in North Canterbury, she works with clients across the wider Christchurch area.
Cosmetic tattooing, or semi-permanent makeup, is designed to give a look that holds up day after day without reapplication. According to the clinic, results typically last on average 1 to 3-plus years, depending on the treatment and the individual. Christine works out balance, form and design based on each client's unique face shape, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
The core of the practice covers eyebrows — offered in soft powder or hair-stroke technique — along with eyeliner enhancement across the upper lid, lash line, lower lid, or a full combination. For lips, the clinic offers lip liner and blush treatments to enhance natural lip colour and shape.
Beyond the standard cosmetic range, Christine also provides Li-ft tattoo removal for correcting or removing previous cosmetic tattoo work, and nipple or areola re-pigmentation, approached with sensitivity and professionalism for clients who want to restore confidence in this area.
One client, who had put off getting her eyebrows done for years out of fear it would hurt, described Christine as "lovely," "so professional," and reassuring throughout the process. She noted that with anesthetic, the procedure involved only mild discomfort, and said she was delighted with the results and would recommend Christine without hesitation, praising both her professionalism and her kind, caring manner.
CJ Cosmetic Tattoo operates by appointment only, Monday through Saturday, and is closed on Sundays. Clients can get in touch by phone or email to arrange a consultation and booking. The clinic is based at 137 Kings Rd, Leithfield Beach, in North Canterbury, serving clients from across the greater Christchurch region who are after a long-lasting alternative to daily makeup routines.
