Microblading, the most popular form of permanent makeup, is a fancy name for an eyebrow tattoo. The modern technique simulates individual hair strokes for a natural look. Cosmetic tattoo artists use a super fine pen to deposit pigment directly under the skin.

Like any tattoo, microblading does fade over time. Expect to return to your artist after 12 to 18 months for a touch-up. The pigments are designed to slowly fade over time, so it’s a personal preference when to come in for maintenance once the color starts to lose concentration.

If filling in your brows is a crucial part of your beauty routine, you might want to look into microblading. To its credit, the procedure is dermatologist-approved. It is an ideal treatment for restoration of the eyebrows.

Infection is a potential risk for any permanent makeup tattoo (as well as just about any type of body tattoo). With all of these, we are opening the skin and blood-borne pathogens can be spread, so you want to make sure technicians are using disposable, single-use tools.  Your technician should open the single-use tool in front of you. Infection can also occur if clients don't follow the proper aftercare which means keeping the area dry and staying out of the sun for about 10 days. Your artist should also schedule a follow-up appointment after six weeks or so to ensure the skin has healed properly and that you're happy with the results.
