Microblading is actually a semi-permanent tattoo on the eyebrow area that helps to create the look of fuller, well-shaped brows. The artist uses a tiny tool that small needles that create individual strokes that mimic the look of eyebrow hairs. Because the needles don’t penetrate the skin but instead add pigmentation only to the skin’s outer epidermis layer, the results look incredibly natural. Microblading is an excellent alternative to tattooed brows because the pigment doesn’t penetrate the deeper layer of skin, and because the stokes are much finer in microblading. Plus, because clients’ eyebrows are numbed before the procedure, they won’t feel much pain — unlike the tattoo experience.
