Eyebrows have been the source of many beauty obsessions around the world and for good reason! They are the foundation of our face, and the source of our expressions and emotions. They frame our eyes and can make us look tired, angry, surprised, or happy, just by changing their shape or thickness.
Many women (and men) are now choosing to get their eyebrows tattooed instead of using pencils or powders to fill them in. Eyebrow tattoos can last for years without needing any touch-ups. However, deciding to get a cosmetic tattoo is a big decision that requires thought and consideration.
In this post, we will discuss the various factors to consider when getting a professional eyebrow tattoo.
Choose The Best Tattooing Technique For You
There are several different techniques that can be used for tattooing eyebrows. The most common are:
Microblading
Often referred to as feather Brows, Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that is waterproof, smudge-proof and long-lasting.
It uses a handheld tool with multiple needles to draw on individual eyebrow hairs resulting in a hyper-realistic brow look. This technique is best suited for those with normal to dry skin types.
Ombre Brows
Ombré shading is an affordable, simple way to get a stylish, fully customisable eyebrow look.
Unlike microblading, which involves hand-carving small lines into the skin to create hair-like strokes, the ombre method creates pixilated dots to mimic powder filled brows with no harsh front or outline.
Combo Brows
This is a fairly new technique where a cosmetic eyebrow tattoo artist uses both brow powder and microblading techniques to create soft, natural-looking brows.
Microblading hair strokes are implanted using a manual tool along the brow’s border to give the brow a natural appearance. To give the brow fullness, the powder effect is applied to the body of the brow.
Being Prepared
Preparation is crucial as the tattooed areas must be healthy. In preparation for your procedure be sure to exfoliate the area as this will help with pigment retention. It is important to pluck, wax, thread or time your brows 3 days before your appointment.
Similarly, any vitamin A or Retinol products should be discontinued as these treatments thin the skin considerable.
Finding The Right Artist
The right eyebrow tattooing artist can make all the difference to your experience. You should feel a connection with your chosen professional and be comfortable enough to discuss any concerns you may have throughout your appointment.
We recommend finding an expert who can create a natural-looking brow along with being skilled in creating different styles including thin, thick, arched or rounded
Booking A Consultation
A professional eyebrow tattoo consultation is the best way to get started on your new look. During this appointment, your artist will assess your face shape, skin type and brow needs in order to create a treatment plan that is perfect for you. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have about the process or aftercare.
