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 the eyebrows are quite different. If a girl is lucky enough to meet a good master, then most likely she will remain satisfied with the results. At the same time, there are many dissatisfied clients who have gone through the tattoo procedure.
Especially many questions are raised by the eyebrow hair tattoo, reviews of which are not only positive, despite the fairly natural appearance of the eyebrows after the procedure. How exactly tattooing is performed, how it differs from other types of eyebrow correction, what constitutes hair eyebrow tattooing, we will discuss in this article.
Eyebrow tattoo: methods
Reviews about different types of eyebrow tattoo vary quite a lot. Therefore, before proceeding to the description of hair tattoo, let's figure out what techniques are and how they differ from each other. In a beauty salon or a home master can offer you a shadow tattoowith shading, permanent makeup, powder or dust application, hair makeup or microblading. Despite the differences in names and application techniques, whichever type of permanent makeup you choose, keep in mind that this is not traditional makeup in the usual sense of the word. Under the skin, in one way or another, paint is applied 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 done with high quality and professionally. Otherwise, you will have to walk around with the tattoo in plain sight for a long time until the ink fades and you can reshape your eyebrows.
Of course, looking at the photos before and after eyebrow tattooing, reviews of which speak more than any words, I want to immediately make an appointment with the master. But there are many "pitfalls" in this topic, which we will discuss below.
Tattoo with shading
One of the most popular techniques is permanent makeup with shading. This technique can be called one of the first, which over time has not lost its relevance and is popular today. If your eyebrows are not very thick or not dark enough, then just such a tattoo will help emphasize this part of the face, give shape and expressiveness. A special dye 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 draws an eyebrow as a shadow.
Even if you have no eyebrows at all, then thisthe tattoo will be very appropriate, and if done well, it will look very natural. According to reviews, permanent eyebrow tattooing can disappoint a client, even if it is done by a good master. Firstly, the reason may be that the skin does not receive the pigment properly. Also, after the procedure, some clients independently peel off the crust along with the pigment, which spoils the picture. Otherwise, this type of tattoo is good because it heals quickly and can be easily corrected later.
Powder Spray
According to reviews, eyebrow tattooing done in this way is suitable for girls whose eyebrows are close to ideal. So, if you like the shape, the hair growth is sufficient, 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 coating are that after this type of tattooing, the eyebrows look much more natural than after shading. The paint is removed much faster, the effect will last you one and a half to two years.
Microblading
Let's move on 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 eyebrows seem 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 engaged in correction. Since microblading has been in demand in the vastness of our country for more than a year, it is curious to know why the responses are so different. Let's analyze this question below.
How is hair tattoo done?
The most important difference between hair tattoo and other techniques is the way the paint is applied. If the types of permanent makeup discussed above use similar equipment, a machine with a needle, then for microblading, a special device is used that resembles a thin blade or several needles assembled together. Hence the name “microblading”, which means “small cuts” in English.
Thin small incisions are made on the skin along the growth of the eyebrows, which are designed to fill in the missing hairs. The cuts themselves should resemble fine hairs. Since the cuts are not deep, the hair tattoo procedure is not very painful and heals quickly.
What challenges do clients face after microblading?
The first thing that a client may be dissatisfied with is the very quality of the hair eyebrow 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 works, then you might change your mind altogether.do this procedure.
Training lasts only two days and is inexpensive, so not only those who have dedicated their lives to permanent makeup, but also everyone in principle, are "served" as microblading masters. Two-day courses cost from 2 to 10 thousand rubles, after which you will have a certificate of a specialist in your hands. Since eyebrows are now "experiencing" a fashion revolution and increased attention from girls and women, having mastered the skill of eyebrow tattooing, according to reviews, you can make good money.
How to choose a master so as not to cry later?
Remember that those works of eyebrow tattooing with the hair method on photo reviews that seem very attractive often have nothing to do with the masters, but are simply taken from open sources. Ideally, it would be to see on "living nature" how well microblading is done, but it would be better if there were several such people among your acquaintances. After that, you can sign up to the master.
The second disadvantage of microblading is incomplete healing
As soon as such an eyebrow tattoo 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 raised scars.
What does that mean?
Microblading, unlike other techniques, is performed as follows - cuts that are appliedwith a special apparatus, imitate hairs. With the correct application of such cuts, “ready-made” eyebrows are quite natural. Meanwhile, on the delicate skin of the Slavs, such cuts heal for a very long time, and subsequently eight out of ten girls have micro-scars. If you want to get microblading, keep in mind that this type of tattoo was invented and designed for Asian women. Asian women differ from ours not only in skin color, but also in quality, the skin is rougher due to the constant influence of the sun, it heals much faster.
What is the risk of having micro-scars in place of the eyebrows?
To better explain why having micro-scars in place of the eyebrows is bad, imagine that you have a huge scar that you want to hide with a tattoo. Moreover, the scar is not smooth, but bumpy. Not every tattoo master will undertake such work, since it is not known in advance whether it will be possible to beautifully tattoo such skin. Now imagine that there are many small relief scars left in place of the eyebrow after microblading. After two or three years, the pigment comes out, and the eyebrows need to be adjusted. Correction, in fact, is a new application of pigment to the place of the eyebrows. But if you previously did traditional permanent makeup, and the pigment was applied with a needle, then no scar will remain.
Of course, it cannot be said that microblading will definitely provide you with correction problems in the future and healing in the present. Much depends on the quality of your skin, on the depth of the cuts.and from the skill of the one who does this kind 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 an appointment is quite high.
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 the simple rules that will enhance the healing process.
First of all, no matter what crust is formed after the procedure, in no case try to rip it off. This is fraught with the fact that together with it you will pull out the pigment from under the skin. In addition, you can make deep wounds on your own, which will take longer than two weeks to heal. Secondly, it is desirable 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 after the procedure the eyebrows bleed, then gently blot them with a napkin. Do not go to the sauna or bath in the first three days after microblading. Hot air and steam inhibit the healing process of wounds.
Correction after the first microblading treatment
A month after the procedure, about seven out of ten women will need a 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, peeling off the pigment along with the crust. In addition, the skin does not always accept paint, some of which may be rejected.
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, costs less than the first microblading procedure. However, in terms of time and painful sensations, it is much shorter and softer. After the correction, it is worth remembering all the same rules as after the first procedure.
How long does microblading last?
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 that Slavic women can count on, at best, ranges from a year to 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 everything as it is or go for the correction procedure. In this case, the correction is paid as a fresh microblading procedure.
