Eyebrow Tattooing - Which Style is Best for Me?

Your brows but better

Each brow tattoo technique has its own unique application, benefits and healed outcome. It is important to know the difference between the techniques, know what look you are after & acknowledge your technicians’ recommendation.

Not all techniques may suit your skin type or natural brow hairs. There isn't necessarily one method which is superior to another – different methods of application achieve different looks and are suitable for different faces.

MICROBLADING / FEATHER TOUCH

This style of brows involves a process using a manual hand-tool with a cluster of fine needles, which is used to implant pigment into the skin to create life-like hair strokes. Compared to a tattoo gun this technique is a more delicate process allowing us to create finer strokes to blend in with your hair.

**Feathering is not the best technique for anyone with oily skin or older ladies with thin skin / fine lines or wrinkles through their eyebrows. The strokes can blur into the wrinkles and tend to fade quicker on people with oily skin, they can also heal grey in thin skin.

OMBRE BROWS

Ombre brows use a traditional tattoo gun which is used to shade in the eyebrows. This technique starts off stronger and more defined when the tattoo is fresh but heals to leave a soft powder finish (looking like you have brushed an eyebrow powder through your brows).

Depending on how much colour is implanted into the skin this technique can be as soft or as defined as you like. Our younger clients like the trendy look of Ombre with very soft inner bulbs blending out into a more defined arch and tail. This technique is great for all skin types, especially people with oily skin or dense eyebrow hair. It is great for defining/ reshaping and fills in the brows perfectly.

COMBINATION BROWS

This technique combines both Ombre and Feather Touch - feather strokes at the start of the brow blending into Ombre (powder) through the ends.

Combo brows are great for people who want to keep the start of their brows looking supernatural but need the definition or fullness through the arch & tail.

If you are still unsure of what brow style to go for, your technician will assess your skin and brows and between the both of you the right technique will be decided.
