What are the types of permanent eyebrow makeup techniques?
So, permanent eyebrow makeup - what is it? In fact, tattooing can be called long-term coloring. The only difference is that the pigment is introduced into the upper layer of the skin, and is not washed off from it.
When eyebrow tattooing as a service appeared in various beauty salons, there was only one method of procedure. Today, the beauty industry does not stand still and eyebrow tattooing has many types and application techniques.
If you are afraid of eyebrow tattooing, competent eyebrow makeup with shadows will be a good substitute for the procedure.
Types and techniques
The number of types and techniques that have appeared recently is truly amazing. Any girl will be able to choose the option that best suits her image. Below you will find a detailed description of each existing technique and, perhaps, look at one of them for yourself.
Powder spraying
This technique looks as natural and natural as possible. Its essence lies in the fact that first the shape of the eyebrow is created, and then its middle is filled with paint, which applies like powder - easily and unobtrusively. The effect remains as follows - as if you have tinted your eyebrows with shadows.
No one will guess that your eyebrows are a tattoo . Using a special machine, the effect is very natural, there are no clear lines, and the shading looks very natural.
Note! You can even create a beautiful, smooth transition so that the eyebrows look as if they were lightly colored with cosmetic paint, and not a tattoo. This technique is considered the most popular of all existing ones.
What are the advantages of this technique:
- the effect lasts from 7 months to 2 years;
- the skin is practically not injured;
- the tattooing process is painless;
- there are no swelling, bruises, or hemorrhages;
- Suitable for different skin types.
In this video you will learn in detail about one modern and advanced eyebrow tattooing technique. What are the advantages of this technique? How is it different from microblading and tattooing? Find out in this video!
Hair technique
This technique also produces a very natural and natural effect. It is also called microblading, and this technique is performed more carefully than powder. The idea is to draw individual hairs by hand so that they look like real eyebrows. The technique is complex and expensive, but the effect definitely exceeds all expectations.
However, this method is not suitable for everyone; for example, girls with oily and combination skin may refuse it. As for the advantages, they are as follows:
- artificial hairs fill in the gaps;
- the effect lasts longer than with the powder technique.
But this technique also has plenty of disadvantages:
- increased morbidity;
- possible pain and swelling;
- it will take a real master to implement this technique;
- Not suitable for everyone.
There is also a hardware rather than a manual hair technique. It allows you to achieve the same good effect, but without possible injuries.
Mixed media
The essence of this technique is to first draw the hairs manually (or with a machine), and then shade them using the powder technique. However, it is quite difficult to perform; it will require a highly qualified craftsman. Accordingly, this technique will cost the same as the two techniques listed above.
There are several other techniques that are not particularly popular due to the fact that they are no longer considered modern. Classic eyebrow tattooing looks completely unnatural - roughly speaking, they simply draw two stripes that look like eyebrows.
Note! This technique is used very rarely and only in salons without special equipment and specialists. Not a single modern specialist would agree to carry out the procedure of classic eyebrow tattooing.
History of permanent makeup
Permanent makeup is makeup that remains on the skin for a long time (Permanent means long-lasting, permanent). The effect of Permanent Makeup is achieved by introducing special pigments into the skin that can be fixed and remain in the skin for a long time. The length of time the result is preserved, the quality of the design, the comfort of the procedure and many other factors depend on the method of applying Permanent Makeup.
Tattooing is an older technique that is still used today. It has acquired many elegant names, but remains tattooed.
It has a number of significant disadvantages:
- The pigment removal time is not controlled from several years to infinity
- The entire design or individual parts of it may remain for life, which makes it much more difficult to correct the color or pattern over time.
- Traumatic and painful procedures
- Has no authorship, originated in the depths of tattoo traditions.
Micropigmentation is a term of American origin (micro pigmentation), which refers to all possible areas of application of this technique on the face and on various parts of the body.
Micropigmentation is used to improve and temporarily correct any facial features using permanent makeup, leaving the opportunity to model them again after some time, when fashion, tastes or your mood change. After this procedure, the result lasts for 3-5 years. Micropigmentation is one of the promising methods of modern cosmetology, which allows you to bring your appearance closer to perfection with the help of a small arsenal of tools - special equipment and pigment (dye). Micropigmentation is a relatively new technique (1990). It appeared as a result of an analysis of the experience and problems of tattooing techniques, and is free from many of its shortcomings:
- Ideal for applying permanent makeup.
- The pigment removal time is controlled and is 3-5 years.
- Non-traumatic. The pattern disappears evenly.
Authors and Creators of this technique
Holger Hoffman is the head of the Goldeneye Micropigmentation Academy, an advisor to the German Department of Health, a member of the jury of international competitions in classical and permanent makeup, and the author of various Micropigmentation techniques.
Mario Gisbert is a talented person and a highly qualified specialist with extensive experience. They proposed and introduced many innovations in Permanent Makeup. Under his leadership, two generations of machines and pigments for Micropigmentation were created (These high-tech products fully comply with the standardization standards of the European Union for equipment and pigments of this type).
How long does pigment last on eyebrows?
Permanent makeup is characterized by maintaining the effect for 1 to 2 years. In some cases, including proper care, a period of 3-5 years can be achieved.
The main factors that influence the duration of tattooing:
- the type of pigment applied and the depth of its introduction;
- proper care after the procedure;
- presence of correction.
If you have a professional technician with high-quality equipment, you can significantly extend the overall effect of permanent makeup.
Pigments
Pigments consist of: a coloring matter (these are organic and inorganic substances of natural origin, umber, sienna, ocher, ultramarine, soot, etc.) and a base in which the coloring matter is homogenized (fats, alcohol, sorbitol, water).
Pigments used for micropigmentation procedures (permanent makeup) on the face must meet the following requirements:
- Dyes must not contain toxic or carcinogenic components. Unfortunately, most pigments produced in Southeast Asian countries do not meet this requirement.
- The pH value of the pigment must be within the physiological norm. Please note that body tattoo pigments often have an alkaline or acidic pH value. Contact of such pigment with mucous membranes is dangerous.
- Dyes must be resistant to UV rays and must also have a sufficiently long period of particle disintegration. The uniformity of dye removal is also of great importance. High-quality dyes lighten evenly over time, without significant changes in color shade. If low-quality pigments are used, you can get crimson eyebrows or even green, blue or lilac lips, and red eyelids. This property of pigments can only be verified empirically.
Variety of techniques
There are 2 main options for applying permanent makeup that looks natural - hair and powder eyebrows. All other methods rely on these two. When doing tattooing using the first technique, the artist creates individual strokes, imitating natural hair growth.
This permanent comes in two types – European and Oriental. Working in the first technique, the cosmetologist directs all the hairs in one direction. He draws smooth lines that are directed towards the outer tip of the eyebrow. According to the Eastern or Japanese method, strokes should be applied taking into account the natural growth of hair.
Both tattoo options look natural, but there are differences. European hair permanent imitates eyebrows, specially combed and styled. In the oriental technique, the hairs intersect at different angles, looking neat and naturally thick.
Classic hair tattooing is performed with a device with a thin needle. Another permanent technique is microblading. The master applies the pigment manually using a manipulator with a blade at the end. This type of tattoo is also called hair tattooing, but with the prefix “manual”. It is believed that the result looks more natural, but it does not last as long on the skin as a classic permanent.
The second technique of natural tattooing is powder or shadow. The master applies separate dots to the skin that simulate a light spray of decorative cosmetics. This permanent looks natural from a makeup perspective. The eyebrows look neat, it seems that they were only slightly tinted with shadows.
The beauty salon offers clients a new variation of tattooing - shoting. This procedure combines hair and powder permanent techniques. The cosmetologist first draws thin strokes and then does light shading.
Microblading
Microblading allows the artist to use a variety of colors and shades, drawing hairs where there are none naturally. This technique is one of the youngest, but most popular. Provided, of course, that it is performed by experienced, qualified craftsmen, the number of whom is small. The technique allows you to create truly natural eyebrows, thanks to the application of a three-dimensional pattern.

The main difference between microblading and other techniques is the use by a cosmetologist of a special pen - a manipulator - to introduce pigment into the layers of the epidermis. Using this tool, the cosmetologist creates individual strokes on the surface of the brow arches, imitating the natural hair of the eyebrows.
The main advantage of microblading is that you get the most natural design; outwardly it is not at all noticeable that the eyebrows are not natural, but drawn.
Microblading is a type of micro-tattooing; for this reason, the penetration of pigment into the epidermis is not too deep. This means that all manipulations are characterized by a minimal amount of pain, and the recovery period passes quite quickly. After about 1-1.5 months, the master invites the client to undergo correction. During this procedure, identified defects are corrected, gaps are filled, and the form is adjusted (if necessary).
The procedure can be repeated after about 2 years, by which time the colors may become somewhat pale.
Choosing the optimal pigment application technique
There are a number of techniques that allow you to apply the most natural tattoo:
- shoting (shading),
- hair method: European and Oriental.
Each of these methods allows you to give your eyebrows a natural look. It is only important to trust a professional.
When choosing a specialist, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the portfolio and find before and after photos in it with exactly the effect that you want to achieve.
Manual method of drawing eyebrows - manual manipulation
To finally decide which eyebrow tattoo is the most natural-looking, it’s worth evaluating one more method. It is called hand drawing. The difference from the techniques described above is in the tool. If for previous methods machines were used, then for manual natural tattooing a special manipulator is used.
The device is equipped with a thin disposable needle. During operation there is no vibration or unpleasant sound from the operating mechanism.
Watercolor method
All types of permanent tattooing strive to achieve maximum naturalness of the look. The watercolor type, provided it is created by an experienced artist, allows you to achieve what you want.
During the implementation of this technique, there is no creation of a clear outline. The pigment enters the inner part of the eyebrow line, making color transitions as smooth as possible.
When creating a watercolor permanent, the master chooses the shade of dye that best suits the client’s type, usually several tones from light to dark.
A light shade is placed at the base, on the bridge of the nose; closer to the end part, the tone becomes as dark as possible. This is the shimmer that is present on the natural brow ridges. The appearance of your own hairs and their growth are preserved.

The disadvantage of this method is the impossibility of increasing their visual density. The dye, in general, looks good. The watercolor technique is created over a period of about three hours, the main part is spent on creating harmonious transitions.
Having chosen this technique for yourself, it is important to take a responsible approach to selecting an experienced specialist who can create a smooth color transition from base to tip.
What is natural tattooing and how to prepare for the procedure
With the help of tattooing, you can gently correct the shape of eyebrows, eyes or lips, hide facial asymmetry and highlight the natural beauty of a girl. This effect is achieved by introducing colored pigment into the upper layers of the skin using miniature needles. The procedure is also called micropigmentation and permanent makeup.
Some girls are afraid of this type of intervention, comparing it with a regular tattoo on the face. However, this manipulation has a fundamental difference: the pigment used during the session is completely removed after 3–5 years.
The modern permanent makeup industry offers a wide selection of dye shades, so for every girl there is that very natural color.
Natural tattooing is not just an effective way to reduce the time it takes to get ready in the morning or the financial costs of decorative cosmetics. The master will help you look well-groomed and rested around the clock, even if you didn’t have time to sleep that night.
Main types of eyebrow tattoo
Many women are interested in how eyebrow tattooing is done and which one is better. There are several basic methods of applying permanent makeup, all of them have certain features.
Voloskovy
Hair tattooing - during the procedure, contours are created with small strokes that imitate real ones. An important role in the hair method of eyebrow tattooing is played by the shade of the pigment; it should be combined with the skin tone and natural color of the eyebrows. When the procedure is carried out professionally, it is very difficult to distinguish hair tattooing from real eyebrows.
Subtypes of hair tattoo:
- oriental - characterized by a sophisticated technology for introducing dye, strokes are applied at random, which ensures maximum imitation of natural vegetation, makeup looks natural;
- European - thin strokes of the same length and thickness are applied in one direction, the shape looks as if special brushes and styling products were used to create it.
Both types of hair tattooing have been in demand since their inception; the technique provides camouflage of empty areas formed in the place of incorrectly plucked hairs. Thick eyebrows look flawless, the eyebrow hair tattoo method requires recovery within 30 days, after which correction is carried out, the hair tattoo lasts for 1-2 years, much depends on the skin type and care.

On dry epidermis, the effect lasts longer; with increased oil content, there is a risk of blurring the strokes, which threatens to worsen the effect of the procedure.
Shot
The technique is considered one of the very first; it arose later than hair tattooing and others. Initially, it was performed exclusively in black; today softer shades are used to preserve the naturalness of the makeup.
Types of shot:
- shadow pigmentation - when it is carried out, individual areas of the eyebrow are shaded;
- soft shading - pigment is introduced into the gaps between natural hair, the technique provides a visual increase in volume, eyebrows look thicker.
The use of natural shades allows you to achieve a smoky effect, the effect lasts for 1-3 years.
Watercolor painting
The main distinguishing feature from hair tattooing and other types is considered to be a soft shape, there is no clear outline, pigment fills the internal space, the color palette is selected taking into account the client’s appearance, and mixing of several tones is provided. Shallow insertion of the needle ensures rapid healing, the result lasts for a year, the method is suitable for the correction of congenital or acquired defects.
Powder effect (spraying)
The technique is quite new, the procedure is not available in all salons, and requires training. The drawing has the effect of applying shadows or a cosmetic pencil to the contour of the eyebrows; it is achieved by shading the dye in the upper layers of the skin. The main difference from hair tattooing and other methods is the absence of pain and other uncomfortable sensations; even upon close examination, there are no traces of tattooing.
To introduce the pigment, a fine hammering device is used; through the punctures formed, the dye penetrates into the subcutaneous space, and strokes are applied on top to add volume and thickness. The duration of the effect can reach 3 years, the final result can be assessed after 1-1.5 months, after which correction is indicated.
Microblading
Microblading is considered the least traumatic; instead of a vibrating tattoo machine, a manipulator is used, all movements are clearly controlled. At the tip of the device there are several modules with thin blades, which allows you to create the smallest strokes.
Two application methods:
- arbitrary strokes that maximally imitate the location of natural eyebrows; they can have different angles, lengths, and curls;
- European - the hair is the same, clearly drawn.
The effect lasts for 2 years, the rehabilitation period is painless, passes quickly, the risk of uneven healing remains, correction is carried out after 2 months.
What is the most natural looking eyebrow tattoo?
It is believed that the hair technique looks most natural. It is indicated for:
- sparse hairs;
- thin eyebrows that merge with the skin of the face;
- asymmetrical eyebrow shape;
- partial or complete absence of hairs;
- presence of scars on the face;
- a pronounced contrast in the shade of hair and eyebrows.
Powder makeup also looks natural. It is suitable for girls whose eyebrows grow correctly, but want to make them more neat and rich.
If hair growth is sparse, it is better to choose the shot method. This option is more suitable for business ladies working in offices.
To make your eyebrows look like real ones, you need to choose the right coloring pigment:
- for blondes, gray and light gray shades are chosen;
- brown tones are more suitable for owners of golden hair;
- brunettes and brown-haired women should opt for dark gray or brown colors;
- girls with red or brown hair will suit a terracotta palette;
- Dark gray shades are selected for gray hair.
Important: for eyebrows to look natural, the shade of paint on the eyebrows should differ from the color of the hair on the head by only one shade.
As can be seen from all of the above, modern technologies give lovely women an excellent opportunity to emphasize their natural beauty in the most beneficial way.
Thanks to the wide variety of eyebrow tattooing techniques, every girl will be able to choose the best option for herself, which will favorably highlight the advantages of her face and, if necessary, hide minor defects. With permanent makeup, you will always feel at your best and will be able to charm men with an incomparable look.
Now you know what types of parchment eyebrow makeup there are, and the master will tell you which type is best for you. The main thing is to choose a good and experienced specialist.
Basic methods of eyebrow tattooing
Having decided on the exact intention of creating permanent makeup on the face, you have to choose a specific type of tattoo. The following factors may influence the decision:
- Price.
- Skin type.
- Hair color: Blondes and brunettes have different styles.
- Pain threshold.
The advantages and disadvantages of all types presented on the cosmetology market will help you make a choice.
During hair tattooing, paint of the required color is poured into the grooves clearly and deeply drawn with a needle. The master determines the length and thickness of the hairs. At the request of the client, the length can be the same or different. According to the masters, the hair method is one of the ideal methods. The disadvantage is the cost of the procedure, but it is easily offset by a lot of advantages:
- naturalness in look;
- ease of care;
- clarity of lines.
The main advantage is that the dyes used by the masters for the hair method are made from natural dyes. The permanent method helps cover scars.
Tattooing involves spot treatment with various chemicals. A negative component is the possibility of getting burns on the skin. It is worth consulting with a doctor about a specific technique, and asking a cosmetologist about the rules for caring for eyebrows so that the appearance can be preserved for as long as possible without loss of quality.
The main goal of shoting as a type of shading is to be as close to natural as possible. Careful application involves using mixed techniques: in one place the eyebrows are longer, in another - shorter. All strokes are soft shaded. Even upon closer examination, the eyebrows look as if they were painted over with shadows. The tattoo artist selects the appropriate color. Advantages:
- the paint is initially not very bright, the drawing is not so deep;
- suitable for older women whose hair becomes lighter, grayer or falls out over time, since the technique is not traumatic and is practically painless;
- creates the appearance of very thin natural eyebrows.
Shotting is suitable for cases where hairs grow only at the very base - at the bridge of the nose. Disadvantages: prohibition of drinking drinks with high caffeine content on the day of the procedure and the possibility of infection.
The combined type of tattoo combines the hair type and shading - powder spraying. Cosmetologists recommend using this method when there are no eyebrows or there are bald spots, the hairs do not fit, do not grow evenly, but stick out in different directions.
A sample of the technique looks as if an eyebrow was drawn with a pencil and lightly tinted with shadows on top. Pros:
- naturalness;
- camouflage scars;
- grooming and impeccable appearance every day.
Flaws:
- not suitable for oily skin - it will look unnatural and stand out on the face due to the fact that the paint gets clogged into the pores;
- long healing - up to two weeks;
- different depth of pigment application for each type of technique used, which significantly lengthens the procedure;
- expensive equipment, which affects the cost of the session.
At the moment, mixed tattoo technique has the highest price among all the options on the market.
Eastern and European methods are distinguished separately. Eastern technology is the most labor-intensive of all those presented on the cosmetology market. The only method in which the hairs do not just run parallel to each other, but intersect, intertwine, and create the appearance of naturalness. For the oriental method of tattooing, experts use different shades: in some places the eyebrows seem to be burnt out, and in others they are darkened and look velvety.

The European way is simpler. It will differ in that the hairs at the base tend upward, and at the end - downward. It seems as if the girl specially styled her hair this way.

Tattoo care rules
With any manipulation, the skin is damaged by repeated micro-injections. To speed up the healing of microwounds and consolidate the result, you need to follow the following recommendations:
- On the first day, rinse your face with clean, cool water.
- Apply healing ointments (“D-panthenol”, “Bepanten”) to the treated areas.
- Do not expose tattooed areas to ultraviolet light.
- During the healing process, a thin crust forms on the skin. Do not try to pick it out, as this may cause scarring. The crust will come off on its own.
- For 3-4 days after the procedure, you cannot visit the sauna, steam bath, or take a bath, as steaming the skin will slow down healing.
- Do not use cosmetics during the entire healing period.
How to do eyebrow tattooing
Let's look at how eyebrow tattooing is performed, regardless of the chosen technique. The master carries out the procedure in logical steps:
- Initial consultation. The master gets to know the client, answers questions, shows his portfolio if the client has requested it;
- Sketch development. Using a special pencil, the master draws a layout in the tattoo area, selects the shape, curve of the eyebrow arch, its thickness, and length. One or more shades of pigment are selected. The sketch is shown to the client, agreed upon and, if necessary, finalized;
- Primary anesthesia to reduce pain. A lidocaine-based gel is applied around the sketch;
- Before the procedure itself, the master prints out a disposable needle in front of the client, inserts it into the machine and begins tattooing the eyebrows;
- After part of the work is completed, the master applies the anesthesia again to completely remove the discomfort, and continues the work again;
- At the end of the procedure, a secondary consultation is held, a correction day is scheduled (optional, at the client’s request), the master explains the principles of eyebrow care after tattooing, and also recommends means for quickly healing eyebrow tattoos and disinfecting the skin.
Note that, on average, the procedure lasts 1.5-2.5 hours, depending on the PM technique. We recommend that before going to the studio you decide on the technique of eyebrow tattooing and their appearance in order to reduce the time for their selection. The artist can only recommend the color and nuances of the appearance of the eyebrows based on your appearance. The choice of technique is up to you.

Having decided to create the perfect image with the help of tattooing, any girl will try to understand whether this method has advantages and disadvantages. After all, as with any other cosmetic procedure, there are pros and cons.
Which eyebrow tattoo technique is best?
It is impossible to say definitively that one or another permanent makeup technique is better or worse. Since it is chosen not only according to the personal wishes of the clients, but also depending on their personal characteristics and the desired end result.
To correct the shape of the eyebrows, shooting, the shadow method, and light shading are used;
If the hairs are too thin and light, preference is given to the hair technique.
The main thing is to choose the right specialist who can perform the procedure efficiently, painlessly and with well-chosen pigments. Then the result will please you for many years. Otherwise, you will have to look for a more professional specialist who can correct the mistakes of an inexperienced master.
We weigh the pros and cons of tattooing. So is it worth doing?
Eyebrow tattooing will help solve a number of problems, give you a well-groomed and neat appearance, as well as peace of mind about your appearance in unpredictable situations. However, you should expect a good result only if you go to a professional studio, where specialists work with disposable consumables, monitor sterility and promptly disinfect the room. In such salons, as a rule, the services are not cheap, but you get a guarantee of the best result. Otherwise, in order to save money, if you turn to a novice artist, you will only be responsible for the acquired tattoo. We looked at what eyebrow tattooing is, the pros and cons of eyebrow tattooing, and objectively assessed each pro and con. And you just have to decide whether to get beautiful eyebrows or wait a little longer.
How do eyebrows heal after tattooing?
We wrote in detail about the process of healing and restoration of the skin after a tattoo procedure in this article. In it you will read a detailed description of the process day by day, but here we will only briefly outline how this happens so that you know what to expect. The first few days you can observe how the color changes after eyebrow tattooing. At first it is slightly dark, a little later - very dark and bright. This is due to the fact that the immune system works, understanding: “a “stranger” has appeared in the body and needs to be fought against.” Lymph is released. Later, crusts or peeling form (individually) and itching gradually appears. Depending on the characteristics of the body, itching can be slight, moderate or severe; The crusts peel off, the color gradually brightens, and the pigment deposit is fully formed. After 2 weeks, the skin is completely healed, but still remains vulnerable. The pigment progresses and may become lighter. The percentage of sediment is also individual; it can be either 70% or 20%. Sometimes it hardly settles at all. By this time, the crusts have already peeled off, the itching goes away, and the owner of eyebrow tattooing can already evaluate the result. Eyebrow color can change over the course of a month. Only after 3-4 weeks are defects fully formed due to the body’s reaction to the pigment. Once they are formed and the color has settled, you can safely sign up for correction.
Eyebrow care after tattoo and correction
The most important thing after eyebrow tattooing is proper care for them. You must understand that how long the effect will last and what the quality of the tattoo will be depends on the care. So, there are several rules that will help monitor the condition of the skin during the recovery period and help consolidate the effect for a long time.
Below you will find a number of tips for caring for your eyebrows after tattooing, as well as information about timely correction.
- After tattooing your eyebrows, you should not visit a solarium or stay in the sun for a long time, this can affect the condition of your eyebrows and their color. You should also regularly use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 20%. Ultraviolet rays destroy pigment, and this cannot be allowed. In addition to destruction, an allergic reaction to the skin may occur.
- Do not use creams and products that accelerate regeneration processes and increase blood circulation in the area around the eyebrows.
- You need to use the tools that the master recommends. If he does not give any recommendations, contact another specialist. Typically, care is selected based on the condition of the skin and specifically the tattooing technique.
- Wash your face carefully and do not rub your eyebrows with a towel - this will speed up the appearance of a crust. Also, do not scratch your eyebrows or even comb them with a special brush. If you want to shape them, smooth them gently with your fingers.
- When a crust appears, do not peel it off or touch it at all. You will know when it comes off completely and only then can you carefully remove it. Or it won’t even be necessary, because it will come off without your help.
- Do not tint your eyebrows with shadows , pencils and also do not pluck hairs. When the skin is irritated and injured, you can get an infection there, and this will end in disaster.
Correction and frequency of procedures depends on which technique you choose and the condition of your skin. As a rule, correction can be done when you notice that the color of your eyebrows begins to lighten. In this case, correction is inevitable.
Important! There are also cases when correction may be required immediately after the scab comes off, but these cases are quite rare.
Making a correction when the crust has come off is necessary for those whose pigment has not penetrated into the skin as needed, which is why gaps remain. Or if the paint is stained. Such cases definitely need to be adjusted and corrected, otherwise you will not get the effect that you would really like.
From the video you will learn what proper eyebrow care should be like immediately after the tattoo procedure.
Tips and tricks from professionals
Properly done permanent makeup is only half the battle. It is extremely important to properly prepare for the procedure and also properly care for your newly “renewed” eyebrows. Experienced cosmetologists give the following recommendations:
- Three days before going to the cosmetologist, give up alcohol;
- Be prepared for the fact that after the procedure your entire face may swell for a short time;
- To make the skin heal faster, use healing products: “Panthenol” (I healed a tattoo with it), “Levomekol”, “Solcoseryl”, etc. Gently apply the product to damaged skin up to 4 times a day;
- Avoid direct sunlight, solarium, beach, pool for at least a week;
- You will be able to adjust the shape/color of your eyebrows (if necessary), but at least after 3 weeks;
- After the procedure, do not drink strong coffee - this is due to the fact that coffee dilates blood vessels, therefore, the pigment in the eyebrows may “leak”.
Thus, we learned that permanent eyebrow makeup is a suitable procedure, and even necessary for many. If you have no contraindications, but have a lot of desire to transform yourself and make your image brighter, then the permanent will help you in this serious matter. I sincerely wish you to remain attractive and graceful at any time of the day!
Is it worth it?
Despite all this, I would advise using new and advanced techniques. Still, tattooing is an outdated procedure, the effect of which not everyone likes, and the cost of a mistake by the artist is too high. Today there is an excellent alternative to tattooing - microblading. This is a manual surface technique in which pigment is introduced with nano-needles to a depth of only 0.2 mm. This approach allows you to keep the hair follicle, skin and basement membrane intact. What is important is that the effect is much more natural, since the artist can imitate finer hairs, unlike tattooing. In addition, the pigment after microblading hardly migrates, and any changes are invisible. The effect lasts for a year or two, which will allow you to avoid expensive laser correction procedures. Think carefully before getting a tattoo. Microblading may be better for you.
Restrictions
Tattooing, like any tattoo, cannot be done for everyone. For example, it is better to avoid it during periods of exacerbation of diseases, pregnancy and in severe cases (in the presence of moderate and severe cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, asthma, epilepsy, blood diseases, skin diseases, moles and birthmarks in the area of the planned tattoo, cancer, hepatitis, HIV). In addition, before tattooing, do not be lazy to find out if you are allergic to painkillers and components in the pigments. Instead of beautiful eyebrows, no one wants to get severe swelling and irritation for an indefinite period.
When correction is needed
Over time, the color of the tattoo will one way or another begin to migrate to lighter or even bluish and green shades (it all depends on the injected pigment and the characteristics of your skin). Then the eyebrows will require a slight correction. But don’t worry, this will have to be done no earlier than two to three years after the procedure.
If you don’t like the effect immediately after tattooing, wait one or two months until the epidermis is restored and go to another artist to correct the result.
It happens that after a few years girls realize that they no longer need a tattoo. In this case, it can be removed with a laser. In just a few procedures, the pigment is completely removed from the skin.
How is tattooing different from real tattoos?
Alcohol and water/glycerin based pigments are used for tattooing. In the first case, the pigment penetrates deeply under the skin and forms tissue capsules, so the effect lasts for many years. Glycerin in dyes does not have a harmful effect on the skin and dissolves well in tissues and fat. For comparison: tattoo parlors mainly use synthetic-based pigments.
A natural effect can be achieved with both bases. It all depends on the master, so choose him more carefully. For example, don’t forget to look at his work: if the eyebrows he made look doll-like and unnatural, and you want something natural, avoid him.
Can it be done during pregnancy?
Pregnant women very often want to look well-groomed and beautiful in any situation. Therefore, they decide to undergo the procedure of creating permanent makeup. But one must understand that all manipulations with the body during this period can affect the health of the unborn child. A qualified tattoo artist will most likely dissuade a woman in the “position” from having hair tattooing or microblading, offering as a compromise spraying using a powder technique, which is not so painful and does not introduce a significant amount of pigment into the body.
How to prepare for the procedure?
The day before the procedure, you should avoid drinking any alcohol-containing drinks, coffee or strong tea, which reduce the speed of blood flow. It is also necessary to stop taking antibiotics and blood thinners. Visiting solariums is prohibited.
If you have allergic reactions, you should take an antihistamine on the day of the procedure. To strengthen the overall immunity of the body, you can take vitamin C, which you need to drink a week before tattooing.
Since the permanent makeup technique is characterized by a violation of the integrity of the skin, its implementation is often characterized by such natural effects as inflammation, swelling and redness. In order for the skin around the eyebrows to return to normal, you need to wait from 2 to 7 days. Therefore, you should properly plan the time of the procedure.
Also, on the eve of tattooing, you should avoid peeling, facial cleansing, injections or contouring. You should not drink a lot of water or take painkillers. Before the procedure, you can drink valerian, which will calm the nervous system.
