Microblading or eyebrow tattoos are exactly that: tattoos. Any form of cosmetic tattooing should be undertaken with full care and comprehensive research. Whenever any treatment involves breaking the skin, no matter how small, your infection risks go up. Microblading should therefore be carried out in completely sterile conditions. While it is a form of tattooing, microblading tools are very different from traditional tattooing ones. Speak out if the microblading technician looks to be using the wrong tools. Pigments should be chosen to match your natural or desired eyebrow colour. It’s important that skin tone is also taken into consideration during your consultation. Oily skin is more likely to reject the pigment and can look powder-filled at the end rather than leaving you with distinctive hair strokes. Your eyebrows are not symmetrical because your face is not symmetrical, so have realistic expectations. This is true for everyone before you get worried! The colour will fade after the first week of healing. If you’re concerned for any reason post-treatment though, consult your microblading technician. Microbladed eyebrows will eventually fade away if you don’t get any additional touch-ups. Eyebrows can be fixed!
