Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo technique used to create the illusion of fuller brows. Instead of using a tattoo machine, a little handheld tool is used to manually draw hair strokes through out the brow. Microblading lasts 1-2 years depending on skin type, and other environmental factors.
-
Micropigmentation
Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that lasts around 4+ years depending on skin type and other environmental factors. Micropigmentation is done with a digitally controlled tattoo machine, inserting pigment into the dermis layer of the skin. There’s a few techniques that can be used to create different effects, whether it be very natural or a more dramatic brow.
There is two different styles of micropigmentation, Powder Brow (Shown Above) or Ombre Brow. Powder Brow is the entire brow, from head of the brow to tail with the same saturation. Ombre Brow is is lighter in the fronts and fades into a darker tail.
-
Combo Brow
Combo Brow is combining microblading and micropigmentation. The hair stroke effect gives realism to the brow while the shading throughout gives depth and dimension to the brow. This is a very realistic and polished look to the brow.
Combo Brow with the hair stokes can also be paired with either Powder Brow technique (shown above), or Ombre Brow technique. (please read micropigmentation description for more details)

Can I get microblading or micropigmentation done if I have previous microblading, micropigmentation or a tattoo from elsewhere?
If you’ve had any previous brow tattooing done, please book a consultation appointment, prior to booking the full procedure service. This give me a chance to asses your brows to see if we can work over top of the previous work. Typically what I was to see if the brows have faded enough, and what color they are.
