Microblading creates natural-looking results
Microblading looks more natural than tattoos because it uses a special pen to place extremely tiny dots of pigment to create an extremely realistic illusion that is rarely noticed. Tattoo strokes, on the other hand, tend to be thicker and darker, thus resulting in a more “drawn on” appearance.
Microblading is semi-permanent, while tattoos are permanent Microblading only touches the top layer of the skin. The color will fade after 18 months whereas tattoos last a great deal longer.

Microblading uses pigments, not ink
Over time, pigments fade into a lighter shade of the original color. This allows microbladed eyebrows to fade out naturally. Tattoos use ink, which can change hue to blue or brown in addition to fading.

Yes. When microblading on oily skin, the strokes tend to spread so the artist will not use as many strokes or space out the lines throughout the brow. It’s a good idea to mention to your artist if you do have oily skin so that they can adjust their technique in order to give you the results you’re looking for. In general, individuals with oily skin can expect their microblading to last about a year. It also depends on how careful they are in terms of avoiding products with acids or retinol around the eyebrows.

Yes. Results last on average about a year, although it can last up to three years. Permanent eyeliner uses pigments instead of inks, which means that the color will eventually fade from the original shade. For those who wish to have their eyeliner removed sooner, laser removal treatments are available.
