Eyebrows, lips and eyeliner are the work at Onyx, a cosmetic tattoo clinic on Celestial Crescent in Orewa, rather than body art. Ke'Tiesha set the business up in 2021 after years as a cosmetic tattoo artist and trainer, and says she holds over three international diplomas and has a decade in the beauty industry. The website says each treatment is tailored to the client and explained at every stage. Eyebrow tattoos and brow shaping are the services customers mention most, and one client had eyeliner done on both the upper and lower lids.
Customers describe a welcoming, beautiful studio with a clean clinic and a smooth process. The shape of the brows is talked through and adjusted to the client's preference before the work starts. Nervous clients say they felt comfortable and reassured throughout, and one said it did not hurt. The eyeliner client found the eyes barely sore straight after and nearly healed a day later. Another came from about three hours' drive away and said the trip was worth it. The website accepts cancellations up to 24 hours before the appointment. Our pick in Orewa for brows shaped to you, with plenty of conversation along the way.
