5 simple must know secrets I wish someone told me about when considering  Eyebrow Tattooing, Eye Art Studio reveals in this article.

Just like you, I once was looking for an Eyebrow Tattoo Artist many moons ago, and wish I had known these 5 Secrets to make better decisions. It was simply a case of "whoever could fit me in first at the best price..." A decision I still regret. Although it was the catalyst in launching my career into Cosmetic Tattooing in Melbourne.

#1: Choose The Best Eyebrow Tattoo Technique For You

There are many methods of Eyebrow Tattooing in Melbourne, with the following 3 being the most popular choices:

1. Eyebrow Tattoo - Microblading (aka Featherstroke, Feathering or Feathertouch)
This Eyebrow Tattoo technique is a favorite choice due to its natural looking results of fine, pretty and realistic hair strokes created behind your natural eyebrow hair, undetectable to the human eye. This technique is best suited for people with normal to dry skin types who are not prone to acne breakouts.

2. Eyebrow Tattoo - 3D Combination (A blend of Microblading & Ombre' Eyebrow Tattoo)
This Eyebrow Tattoo technique is the perfect choice for those with little to no hair and wish to have fuller, more defined eyebrows that are still natural looking. The added bonus with 3D Combination Eyebrow Tattoo is that it is longer lasting, and recommended for those with oily skin, acne, regular users of skincare products containing retinol, AHA, or Vitamin A, C, E agents, excessive sweaters.

3. Eyebrow Tattoo - Ombre' (aka Mist or Powder) Eyebrow Tattoo
Just like the 3D Combination Eyebrow Tattoo method, Ombre' Eyebrow Tattoo technique delivers longer lasting tattooed eyebrows. They are suitable for those who prefer a more defined, striking look, without the harshness of the "block" eyebrow tattoos of the 1990's. You won't need any eyebrow makeup products with Ombre' Eyebrow Tattooing.

 
#2: Research Your Eyebrow Tattoo Artist

Research, research, research! Do your due diligence when choosing an Eyebrow Tattoo Artist for your eyebrow tattooing. It is important to check out their portfolio photos of Eyebrow Tattoo Before and After pictures. 

Be sure to look out for not only the shapes and arches, but more important, the hairstrokes (in the cases of Eyebrow Microblading & Feathering). The tattooed hairstrokes should "flow", are crisp, clean, and natural, rather than thick, too deep and "blunt". Tattooed eyebrow hairstrokes that are too deep and blunt may result in scarring.

Look for portfolio photos that are not heavily photo-shopped or using a filter, so that you can make a more informed decision, and ensure that the work the Eyebrow Tattoo Artist presents are genuinely their work, not someone else's. 

It is a common mistake (but very much frowned upon) in the Cosmetic Tattoo industry that a lot of Eyebrow Tattooists make, often the younger and less experienced, in using other experienced Artists' work to present due to a lack of portfolio content.

#3: Never Choose an Eyebrow Tattoo Artist by Price

About 50% of our services are for Eyebrow Tattoo Correction. Correction is very costly, and sometimes, removal may be required before correction work can commence. Please remember that a discount is not necessarily a bargain if you end up paying more for correction or removal, not to mention the emotional stress and anxieties that follow.

 #4: Eyebrow Tattoo Artist's Reviews & Feedback

Once upon a time, Social Media reviews were credible sources in choosing a service or products. Nowadays, feedback, reviews and recommendations can also be bought, or given out of love by friends, family, or those who are simply unhappy for other reasons rather than the Eyebrow Tattoo Artist's work and their ethics. 

Make an informed choice based on a holistic view of the Eyebrow Tattoo Artist's work, other reviews, good or bad, combined. A good review is not necessarily good, and a bad review, isn't always a bad one either.

#5: The "Hairloss" Myth

Many new clients have expressed their concerns for possible hair-loss by getting their eyebrows tattooed. The opposite has actually been found, with more than 50% of our clients with tattooed eyebrows have reported a noticeable increase in natural eyebrow hair growth following their procedure - especially those who have had hand-based Eyebrow Tattooing procedures such as Eyebrow Microblading/Feathering, 3D Combination or manual Ombre' Powder Eyebrow Tattoo treatments. 

We put the new bonus hair-growth down to the stimulation experienced by the hair follicles during the process of an Eyebrow Tattoo procedure!
