Eyebrow microblading.
Shape that suits you.

Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing. A handheld tool creates fine strokes of pigment in the skin to resemble individual brow hairs. It adds the appearance of hair; it does not grow new hairs.

The design can fill selected gaps, define a tail or give sparse brows a more consistent shape. Your existing hair, skin and preferred style help guide the plan.

Bring examples of brows you like and explain what you would change about your own. The proposed shape is drawn first, so you can discuss it before pigment is placed.

1. 01

   Keep your features in mind

   Look at the start, arch, length and thickness together. The aim is a shape you feel comfortable with, rather than copying another person’s brows.

2. 02

   Choose a suitable colour

   Discuss your natural brow hair, skin tone and the appearance you want after healing. A fresh tattoo can look darker than the settled colour.

3. 03

   Check existing pigment

   Old brow tattoos, changed colour or scars may affect the design. Adding more pigment is not always the right way to correct a previous treatment.

Microblading creates visible hair-like lines. Microshading uses small dots of pigment for a softer, powdered finish. They are different effects, even when both are called semi-permanent brows.

Discuss which finish suits your skin and goals. A combined approach may be considered, but more techniques do not automatically give a better result.

The brows may initially look darker or more sharply defined than expected. Mild tenderness and flaking can occur while the skin heals. Follow your own aftercare plan rather than judging the result from the first day.

Once healed, discuss whether further work is useful. Colour retention varies with skin, pigment, technique and sun exposure. Maintenance is individual; repeated touch-ups should not be automatic.

1. 01

   Protect the healing area

   Keep to the recommended cleaning routine and avoid picking. Confirm when to resume brow makeup, swimming, vigorous exercise and facial treatments.

2. 02

   Know when to get help

   Increasing pain, spreading redness, pus or significant swelling needs prompt advice. Eye pain or changes in vision require urgent assessment.

3. 03

   Understand the possible downsides

   Cosmetic tattooing can cause infection, allergic reactions or scarring. Pigment may change colour, blur or leave a shape you dislike; correction or removal can be difficult.
