Eyebrow Tattooing Procedure (Step-by-Step)
- Consultation: The technician discusses your desired brow shape, color, and style. Your facial features and skin type are evaluated to determine the best approach.
- Brow Mapping and Design: A temporary outline of your ideal brow shape is drawn using measuring tools to ensure symmetry and proportion with your face.
- Numbing: A topical anesthetic (numbing cream) is applied to reduce discomfort during the procedure. It usually takes 20–30 minutes to take effect.
- Pigment Color Selection: A suitable pigment is chosen based on your natural brow color, hair color, and skin tone.
- Tattooing / Pigment Application
- Final Touch-Up: After the initial pass, pigment is reapplied and areas are perfected as needed.
- Aftercare Instructions: You’ll be given detailed instructions on how to care for your brows during healing.
Healing Process: The brows will scab and fade slightly over 7–14 days. Full healing takes around 4–6 weeks.
Ombre brows
Ombre brows is a technique that uses a small machine to place tiny dots of pigment into the skin. The result is a soft, shaded brow pencil look that gradually fades from light to dark—lighter at the front of the brow and darker toward the tail, creating a natural gradient effect (hence “ombre”).
- Soft, powdery finish (like makeup)
- More defined than microblading, but still natural-looking
- Good for all skin types, especially oily or mature skin
- Lasts 1–3 years, depending on skin, lifestyle, and aftercare
- Less trauma to the skin compared to microblading, as it doesn’t create hair-like cuts
It’s a great option for people who want fuller, more polished brows without having to fill them in every day.
Shading brows
Shading brows is a technique that creates a soft, filled-in look similar to wearing brow powder or pencil. It uses a small tattoo machine to insert pigment into the skin with a stippling (dotting) method.
- Suitable for all skin types, especially oily or sensitive skin
- Longer-lasting than microblading alone (can last 1–3 years)
- Gives a soft, natural, or bold look depending on the desired style
Hairstroke brows
Hairstroke brows (also called microblading) are a type of eyebrow tattoo that mimics the look of natural eyebrow hairs by drawing fine, hair-like strokes into the skin.
- Very natural-looking, especially when done skillfully
- Mimic the direction and growth pattern of real eyebrow hairs
- Great for filling gaps or creating fuller brows without a makeup look
- Lasts 1–2 years, depending on method, skin type, and aftercare
Shading + Hairstroke Brows combine two techniques: hairstroke (microblading) and shading (powder fill). This approach gives you both the natural look of individual hair strokes and the soft, filled-in effect of shading.
9D Brows
9D Brows, Full 9D Eyebrows is a technique that combines micro-pigmentation and ultra-fine hair-like strokes to create a natural, multi-dimensional effect. It delivers soft, well-defined color with sharp contours and long-lasting results over time.
- Natural Appearance: The fine strokes mimic natural hair, providing a realistic look.
- Long-Lasting: Results can last up to 3 years, depending on skin type and aftercare.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure is relatively quick, with minimal swelling or discomfort.
- Suitable for Various Skin Types: Especially beneficial for those with oily or sensitive skin, as it reduces the risk of fading.
