In this article we will discuss such a popular topic today as eyebrow tattooing. Reviews about this method of modeling and emphasizing the shape of eyebrows are quite different. If the girl is lucky to meet a good master, then most likely she will be satisfied with the results. At the same time, there are many dissatisfied clients who went through the tattoo procedure.
Especially a lot of questions are caused by a hair tattoo of eyebrows, reviews about which there are not only positive, despite the fairly natural appearance of eyebrows after the procedure. How exactly a tattoo is performed, how it differs from other types of eyebrow correction, which is a hair tattoo of eyebrows, we will discuss in this article.
Eyebrow Tattoo: Methods
Reviews about different types of eyebrow tattoo are quite different. Therefore, before moving on to the description of hair tattooing, let's figure out what are the techniques and what is their difference from each other. In the beauty salon or at home the master can offer you shadow tattoo with shading, permanent makeup, powder or dust, hair makeup or microblading. Despite the differences in the names and application technique, whatever you choose the type of permanent makeup, keep in mind that this is not a traditional makeup in the usual meaning of the word. One way or another, paint is applied under the skin with a needle, which is held for several years. Therefore, eyebrow tattooing, according to reviews, is an excellent way to get rid of cosmetics for this part of the face, only if it is performed efficiently and professionally. Otherwise, you will have to walk with a tattoo in a prominent place for a long time until the paint is discolored and you can again make eyebrow correction.
Of course, looking at the photos before and after eyebrow tattooing, reviews of which speak more than any words, I want to immediately sign up to the master. But there are many "pitfalls" in this thread, which we will discuss below.
Feather Tattoo
One of the most popular techniques is permanent makeup with shadow shading. This technique can be called one of the first, which over time has not lost its relevance and is popular today. If you have not very thick eyebrows or not enough dark, then just such a tattoo will help emphasize this part of the face, give shape and expressiveness. A special paint is injected under the skin with a needle, which is removed within 3-4 years. In the place where the eyebrows should ideally be, the master draw an eyebrow like a shadow.
Even if you do not have eyebrows at all, then such a tattoo will be very appropriate, and if done well, it will look very natural. Permanent eyebrow tattooing, according to reviews, can disappoint a client, even if done by the hand of a good master. Firstly, the reason may be that the skin does not take pigment properly. Also, some clients after the procedure themselves peel off the crust along with the pigment, which spoils the picture. For the rest, this type of tattoo is good because it heals quickly and can be easily corrected subsequently.
Powder spraying
According to reviews, eyebrow tattooing performed in this way is suitable for girls whose eyebrows are close to ideal. So, if you like the shape, the growth of hairs to a sufficient degree, but you want to add color or expressiveness, then you can choose this type of permanent makeup. The difference between powder coating and shadow shading is the depth of penetration of the needle under the skin. In this regard, powder spraying is much less uncomfortable in terms of pain than traditional shading.
The advantages of powder spraying are that after this type of tattoo, the eyebrows look much more natural than after shading. The paint is displayed much faster, the effect is enough for you for one and a half to two years.
Microblading
We turn to the main topic of our article, eyebrow tattooing using the hair method. Reviews about this method are mostly laudatory. Photos with the result of the work are also impressive, because the edges appear very beautiful and natural right after the procedure. Meanwhile, there are also sharply negative responses from those whose eyebrows have already healed. There is also a lot of criticism from the masters who are involved in the correction. Since microblading has been in demand in the vastness of our homeland for more than a year, it is curious to find out why the responses are so different. Let us analyze this question below.
How is hair tattoo done?
The most important difference between hair tattoo and other techniques is the method of applying paint. If the above types of permanent makeup use similar equipment, a machine with a needle, then microblading uses a special device resembling a thin blade or several needles assembled together. Hence the name “microblading”, which is translated from English as “small cuts”.
Through the device along the growth of the eyebrows, thin small sections are made on the skin, which are designed to fill in the missing hairs. Cuts themselves should resemble thin hairs. Since cuts are not performed deeply, the procedure for hair tattooing is not very painful and quickly heals.
What difficulties do clients face after microblading?
The first thing the client may be unsatisfied with is the very quality of the eyebrow hair tattoo. Photo reviews demonstrate the stunning and natural look of this part of the face after the procedure. But if you want to see the failed work, then you may even change your mind about doing this procedure.
Training lasts only two days and is inexpensive, so not only those who have devoted their lives to permanent makeup, but also everyone who wants it, in principle, get into microblading masters. Two-day courses cost from 2 to 10 thousand rubles, after which you will have a specialist certificate in your hands. Since eyebrows are now “experiencing” a fashionable coup and increased attention from girls and women, mastering the skill of performing eyebrow tattooing, according to reviews, you can make good money.
How to choose a master so you don’t cry later?
Remember that those works of eyebrow tattooing with the hair method on photo reviews that seem very attractive, often do not relate to the masters, but are simply taken from open sources. It would be ideal to see on "living nature" how well microblading is done, and it is better that there are several such people among your friends. After that, you can record to the master.
The second minus of microblading is incomplete healing
As soon as such an eyebrow tattooing method as microblading appeared, reviews recommended it as the best, fastest, painless and natural. But a year or two after this type of permanent makeup became popular with us, a new problem surfaced - incomplete healing of the skin after the procedure, scarring, the appearance of small relief scars.
What does it mean?
Microbleading, unlike other techniques, is performed as follows - cuts that are applied with a special device imitate hairs. With the correct application of such cuts, “finished” eyebrows are quite natural. Meanwhile, such cuts heal on the delicate skin of Slavs for a very long time, and subsequently eight out of ten girls have microscars. If you want to do microblading, keep in mind that this type of tattoo is invented and designed for Asian women. Asians differ from ours not only skin color, but also quality, the skin is rougher due to the constant influence of the sun, heals much faster.
What is fraught with the presence of microscars in place of eyebrows?
To explain more clearly why the presence of micro scars on the site of the eyebrows is bad, imagine that you have a huge scar that needs to be hidden with a tattoo. Moreover, the scar is not smooth, but tuberous. Not every master tattoo artist will undertake such a job, since it is not known in advance whether it will be possible to beautifully apply a tattoo to such skin. Now imagine that after the microblading there were many small relief scars in place of the eyebrow. After two or three years, the pigment comes out, and the edges need to be adjusted. Correction, in fact, is a new application of pigment in place of the eyebrows. But if you previously did the traditional permanent makeup, and the pigment was applied with a needle, then there will be no scar.
Of course, we cannot say that microblading will definitely provide you with problems with correction in the future and healing in the present. Much depends on the quality of your skin, the depth of cuts and the skill of the person who does this type of permanent makeup. However, today, if you try to make an appointment with a tattoo master and say that you have previously had microblading, the likelihood that you will be refused to make an appointment is quite large.
How to care for eyebrows after microblading?
Microblading is considered less traumatic for the skin, and therefore it heals much faster than eyebrows made in the traditional style of permanent makeup. However, it is worth remembering not difficult rules that will enhance the healing process.
Firstly, no matter what the crust is formed after the procedure, in no case do not try to rip it off. This is fraught with the fact that along with it you pull out a pigment from under the skin. In addition, you can make deep wounds for yourself that will heal for more than two weeks. Secondly, it is advisable to nourish the skin after the tattoo procedure. To do this, lubricate the eyebrows with petroleum jelly or Bepanten cream in the morning and evening. If the eyebrows are bleeding after the procedure, then gently pat them with a napkin. In the first three days after microblading, you should not visit a sauna or a bath. Hot air and steam inhibit the healing process of wounds.
Correction after the first microblading procedure
A month after the procedure, approximately seven out of ten women will need correction. Not everyone behaves correctly in the first days after applying the tattoo, as the hands "itch" to tear off the crust. As a result, the girls themselves spoil the effect of microblading, stripping pigment along with the crust. In addition, the skin does not always accept paint, some of which can be torn off.
Therefore, when the eyebrows are completely healed, it will be necessary to visit the master again so that he adds brightness where necessary. Correction, as a rule, is cheaper than the first microblading procedure. However, it is much shorter and softer in time and pain. After the correction, it is worth remembering all the same rules as after the first procedure.
How long is microblading enough?
Of course, having experienced not the most pleasant procedure, I want the result to please as long as possible. Masters promise that microblading will last up to 3 years. However, the period for which Slavic women can count, in the best case, ranges from a year and a half. After this time, the paint is brought out, the effect of well-groomed eyebrows becomes less noticeable. After that, you can leave it as it is or go to the correction procedure. In this case, the correction is paid as a fresh microblading procedure.
