What Is Micro-Blading Permanent Eyebrow Tattoo?

“Hair Stroke Eyebrows” comes packaged with many different names. These days, Microblading is the most commonly used term to describe the tattooing of little hairs on the eyebrows. Microblading is NOT the only method of achieving this effect. Microblading is the term used to describe a technique which employs the use of a hand tool rather than a machine to tattoo the colored hair like strokes into the skin.

A hand tool has the appearance of a writing pen, but instead of a ballpoint pen on the end of it there is an opening at the end where the technician attaches a small grouping of 9-12 needles aligned in a row that resembles a scalpel, also referred to as the “blade.”

The “blade” is then dipped into color, and the technician presses the extremely sharp needles into the skin and slices through the skin creating small cuts/wounds in which color is rubbed into, generally with a toothpick.

The openings created by the “blade” have now exposed the clients dermal tissue and a 10 minute wait time is observed for the tissue to be stained by the pigment that was rubbed into the cuts.

Michelle is not a practitioner of the microblading technique for creating Hair Stroke eyebrows because it is her understanding that creating cuts in the skin will cause scarring, thickening, and raising of the skin over the long term. Michelle has been working in the industry for close to 2 years and seen clients who have had this procedure performed many times over show up with scarring and wavy looking eyebrow skin due to continued yearly microblading touchups.

Her philosophy is that if she wouldn’t have the procedure performed on her eyebrows, then she wouldn’t recommend it to her clients. Michelle has chosen to stay with the machine method utilizing a one-point needle, which is 0.25mm, to perform hair stroke eyebrow work.
