Skin Types: Normal, non-oily, non-wrinkled skin, non-thin skin. No scarring.

The nano brow technique delivers a similar look as microblading, but the artist utilizes a machine tool. This tool creates a realistic hairstroke at a shallower depth. If you have been turned down for microblading, this service may be for you!

Skin Types: All skin types including oily, sensitive or thinner skin.

Brow Tattoo FAQs

Here’s an FAQ covering the five cosmetic brow tattoo techniques: Ombre Powder Brows, Combo Brows, Machine Nano Brows, Microblading, and Nanoblading.

FAQ About Cosmetic Brow Tattoo Techniques

  1. What are Ombre Powder Brows?
    Ombre Powder Brows are a semi-permanent makeup technique that creates a soft, shaded effect, similar to the look of makeup. The tails of the brows are typically darker, gradually fading to a lighter shade toward the front, providing a natural, polished look.

  2. What are Combo Brows?
    Combo Brows combine two techniques: Microblading and Ombre Powder. This method uses microblading at the front of the brows for a natural, hair-like appearance, while the rest of the brow is shaded using the Ombre technique for added fullness and definition.

  3. What are Machine Nano Brows?
    Machine Nano Brows utilize a tattoo machine with a very fine needle to implant pigment into the skin. This technique creates ultra-fine, hair-like strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs, providing a soft and natural appearance with enhanced precision.

  4. What is Microblading?
    Microblading is a semi-permanent technique that involves manually creating hair-like strokes using a small handheld tool. It’s ideal for filling in sparse areas and shaping the brows, resulting in a natural look that can last 1-3 years, depending on skin type and care.

  5. What is Nanoblading?
    Nanoblading is a more advanced version of microblading that uses a nano needle for even finer strokes. This technique allows for greater precision and a more natural appearance, making it suitable for those who want the most realistic look possible. The results can also last 1-3 years.

Additional Questions

  1. How long do these techniques last?
    Generally, most brow tattoo techniques can last between 1-3 years, depending on skin type, aftercare, and individual factors like sun exposure and skin conditions.

  2. Are these techniques suitable for everyone?
    While many people can benefit from these techniques, individuals with certain skin conditions or those on specific medications should consult with a trained professional to determine the best option for their unique needs.

  3. Is there any downtime after the procedure?
    Most clients experience minimal downtime, but some redness, swelling, or tenderness is common right after the procedure. Healing usually takes about 1-2 weeks.

  4. How do I choose the right technique for me?
    The right technique depends on your desired look, current brow shape, and skin type. A consultation with a trained brow artist can help determine the best option based on your preferences and lifestyle.

  5. Can I still wear makeup on my brows after the procedure?
    It's best to avoid makeup on the brow area for the first week following the procedure to allow for proper healing. After that, you can resume your regular makeup routine, but it’s recommended to use gentle products.

These cosmetic brow techniques offer a variety of options to enhance your natural beauty, and consulting with a skilled artist will ensure you achieve the look you desire!
