Essential things you must know about brow tattooing
Eyebrow tattoo is an alternative to traditional makeup. Plenty of women like the idea of not having to apply makeup every day and still enjoying fleek brow arches no matter what time of the day it is. Semi-permanent makeup is also a remedy for ladies who hasn’t been presented with bushy, full brows by nature. People who have lost brow hair due to disease like this form of brow reconstruction as well.
Eyebrow tattoo. How it’s done?
Permanent makeup is a form of tattoo: natural, non-toxic, hypoallergenic pigment is inserted into the epidermis.
It’s obvious that the ink fades over time so the tattoo has a lighter color which eventually disappears…
Once you’ve got tattooed brows, you don’t worry about daily makeup, unless you want a bolder effect e.g. for a big event. Then you can enhance them with classic makeup products.
Does it hurt?
Many people ask if microblading is painful. Unfortunately, the needle breaks the continuity of skin so you might experience minor pain. That’s why technician applies an anesthetic at the beginning of the procedure to guarantee zero pain. Throughout the procedure the anesthetic is reapplied which lets you relax and reduce possible pain.
Brow tattooing after-care
The skin is slightly swollen and red because it has been irritated by the needle. Luckily the symptoms ease off really fast. On the very next day you look great and can go out and show off your new look.
You should remember that the color of tattoo fades by 50% within 4-5 days after the first procedure. The final color will be like the one from the color chart. Technicians adjust the color to your beauty type and personality. On the day of the procedure, brows look very bold, similarly to fresh tattoos.
