Get Past Your Fear of Getting Your Eyebrows Tattooed

3 Tips to Help You Say Yes with Confidence
Presented by Kindra, Master Brow Artist at DAELA Portland

Let’s be real—being nervous about getting a tattoo on your face is completely normal. Eyebrow tattoos (think: microblading, ombre powder brows, combo brows, or nano brows) are a commitment, and you should put thought into it! But here’s the thing—when done well by an experienced artist, brow tattoos are one of the most empowering, game-changing treatments you can give yourself.

I’m Kindra, a brow artist at DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo in Portland, and I’ve helped hundreds of clients move past that initial fear and walk away in love with their new eyebrow tattoos. And while I’m based in Portland, I can confidently say that everything I’m about to share reflects the care, approach, and high standards of every single DAELA artist, no matter the service or the studio location. Whether you’re walking into DAELA Scottsdale, Vancouver, or Portland—you’re in the best hands.

If you’re feeling hesitant about eyebrow tattoos, read on:

1. Don’t let wild internet stories scare you.

I can’t stress this enough: Not all eyebrow tattoos are created equal, even when artists are using the exact same technique. The final result depends on so many things—our experience, our education, the tools we use, our preferred pigments, and even the vibe and expectations of our local clientele. That’s why one artist’s microblading may look soft and natural, while another might come across harsh or too bold. Same technique, different execution.

So, if you’ve been scared off by a horror story or a headline photo of eyebrow tattoos gone wrong, don’t let that close the door. The quality of your results comes down to your artist, not just the name of the service.

2. They’re customizable, baby.

Your eyebrow tattoos will never be copied and pasted from someone else’s face. At DAELA, every service starts with a thoughtful and thorough consultation. We combine your preferences with our professional opinion to create a design that feels like the best version of you. And we take it even further—brow shape, density, pigment selection—all tailored to your facial structure, natural hair growth, and skin type.

Want something soft and barely there? We’ve got you. More definition and shape? Also got you. You don’t need to fit a mold—your brows should reflect your beauty and style.

3. Be patient with yourself. Fear is real, and that’s okay.

It’s a face tattoo. Of course you’re going to feel something about it. And at DAELA, we totally understand that and also want to remind you that this is the most subtle yet impactful face tattoo you could get. In fact, our Face of DAELA clients all have at least 5 tattoos on their face, including eyebrow tattoos, lips, eyeliner, and freckles! But if you ran into a DAELA client, you’d just think, “Wow, she looks fabulous!” We have clients every day who walk through our doors with a bundle of nerves—and we meet them with kindness, calm, and clear communication. From start to finish, we guide you through every part of the process, so you always know what to expect. One of the most common comments in our online reviews is a variation of, “I was scared, but they put me at ease. I should have done this years ago!”

That’s why choosing a trusted, experienced artist matters so much. You deserve someone who listens, who shows you healed results, and who creates an environment where you feel seen. That trust transforms fear into excitement—and your results into something truly beautiful.

Whenever you’re ready, we’re here for you.

Whether you’re considering your first set of eyebrow tattoos, a cover up, or even laser removal to start with a clean slate—we’ve got you. Every DAELA artist, in every studio, shares the same commitment to artistry, safety, and helping you feel like the very best version of yourself.

Let’s turn eyebrow tattoos hesitation into confidence. Your dream brows are closer than you think.
