About Simone — Simone Carter Cosmetic Tattooing

In her own words

Restoring facial harmony, one client at a time.

I'm an aesthetics specialist with a background in makeup and hair for film, theatre, and TV, both locally and internationally. I've spent a decade as a cosmetic tattooist helping clients restore facial harmony.

My practice combines all my skills to support people through illness or treatment with compassion and a focus on helping them feel like themselves again.

Every client brings a different story. Some want their brows back after years of over-plucking; some are navigating hair loss from chemotherapy; some simply want to wake up defined and stop reaching for a pencil. Simone's practice begins in the same place each time: listening, looking, and understanding what restoration means to that one person.

The background

Film sets, catwalks, opera houses. Then a decade at the needle.

Before cosmetic tattooing, Simone spent twenty years in beauty as a film and television makeup artist and accredited hairdresser. She worked across film sets, catwalks, stages and opera houses — locally and internationally — where precision under pressure, understanding of skin, and the ability to transform a face quickly and reliably were not optional.

That body of knowledge doesn't leave when the tattoo needle arrives. It shapes how Simone reads a face in consultation, how she chooses stroke direction to follow natural hair growth, how she selects pigment tones that will heal correctly to each client's colouring. The technical discipline of a makeup artist, applied to a medium that lasts.

Film & Television

Makeup and hair for productions locally and internationally — precision on camera, under deadline.

Stage & Opera

Worked across stages and opera houses where transformation and durability under performance conditions are demanded.

Accredited Hairdresser

A formal hairdressing background that informs Simone's wig studio and hair-restoration work.

Cosmetic Tattooing

A decade of practice specialising in brows, lip blush, eyeliner, and paramedical restorative work.

The restorative practice

Supporting clients through illness — with craft, not just care.

A meaningful share of Simone's work is with clients navigating illness or treatment — alopecia, chemotherapy, scarring, or other conditions that have changed how they see themselves in the mirror. The Re_StoreYou practice brings together cosmetic tattooing, wig studio work, and SMPU makeup under one roof — offered with the same clinical precision as any cosmetic treatment, and with the compassion the context demands.

The goal, always, is the same: that you leave looking like yourself again.
