COSMETIC TATTOO QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

WHAT IS COSMETIC TATTOOING?

Also known as permanent makeup or micro-pigmentation, is a procedure involving the implantation of colour pigments into the area just directly beneath the skins surface to achieve natural looking enhancements to a client's facial features such as eyebrows, lips and eyelids (even adding freckles or beauty spots) through the use of extremely fine, sterile and disposable needles.

Eye Art Studio offer the following Cosmetic Tattoo services

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?

Both are different names for the same technique, which is also know as eyebrow feathering, featherstroke, feathertouch or eyebrow embroidery.

Eyebrow Microblading is hand-based method of cosmetic tattooing where tiny, fine, natural looking little hair strokes are created - with a handheld pen and a needle containing multiple micro-blades - within the eyebrow areas to perfectly blend in with your natural eyebrow hair. It is also suitable for clients with little to no hair.

WHAT IS OMBRE' EYEBROW TATTOO?

It delivers a gradient eyebrow effect that is lighter at the bulb of an eyebrow, which becomes more saturated towards the tail end. Ombre' eyebrow tattooing is a popular option for makeup lovers as it has a powdery, lightly pixelated, penciled-in finish.

WHAT IS COMBINATION EYEBROW TATTOO?

A method of eyebrow tattooing combing both the eyebrow microblading and shading methods.

In this technique, eyebrow hairstrokes are microbladed to the bulb of the brow, with shading strategically adopted from the brow's belly section, graduating to a more defined tail.

Some clients may experience minimum redness temporarily (up to an hour), while others won't.
