Microblading, the most popular form of permanent makeup, is a fancy name for an eyebrow tattoo. Instead of the shockingly dark brows you may have seen on members of the Silent Generation, 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. You may also hear names like brow feathering or microshading.  Other techniques still fall under the umbrella of natural-looking hair strokes, and the important part is to study examples of your artist’s work and make sure you’re a fan before booking an appointment.

Like any tattoo, microblading does fade over time. Expect to return to your artist after 12 to 18 months for a touch-up. Exactly when to come back is up to you: “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,” says “Some people fade a little bit and they want more; others let it almost all fade out before they come back.” At a maintenance appointment, the artist will add color concentration to the existing work

Permanent lip makeup gave birth to the lip blush. The technique has been refined to its current form, known as lip blushing or lip tinting. The tattoo is a simple wash of sheer color across the entire lip. We works with her clients’ natural lip shade to add a slightly deeper layer of pigment.

Eyeliner tattoos sit within or above the lash line to give the appearance of fuller lashes. We perform two types of liner tats: a traditional eyeliner tattoo and a lash line enhancement. The traditional tattoo is placed right above the lash line, leaving the effect of a distinct eyeliner line.

Scar camouflage is a tattoo of the skin with flesh-colored pigment to mask a scar. The most well-known use is for mastectomy scars, although artists can cover various forms of scars, stretch marks, or acne scars.

We start by assessing the scar and custom-blending a pigment to match her client’s skin exactly. She implants the pigment in fine layers less than one millimeter below the skin’s surface. The finished product will take two to three sessions, scheduled five to six weeks apart to allow for healing between each session.

Anyone with scars lighter than their natural skin color is a generally great candidate for this service. This treatment does not work well on scars that are brown, purple or red. When that’s the case, laser and bleaching treatment should be done first, before undergoing the camouflage. While this treatment works well on hypertrophied scars, keloid scars are not a candidate for this treatment.

The scar (or stretch mark) also needs to be fully healed (taking usually eight to 12 months) so any residual redness or purple colors have totally dissipated and disappeared altogether, leaving the area with a disruption in the melanin production. “Because I deal with texture and color in one procedure, this works especially well on stretch marks, which have not only lost their melanin but their collagen and elastin as well,” People who have hypopigmentation spots are also usually good candidates ” again, because of the patches of skin that are lighter than your overall skin tone.

Think of freckle tattoos as the rebellious little sister of the permanent makeup industry. Some artists don’t perform them due to the difficulty of maintaining an even fade on the face, while others would argue that freckles are naturally uneven anyway.

We starts by drawing on individual freckles with an eyeliner pencil. She then uses a stick-and-poke technique  the method of tattooing with a single needle instead of a machine  to tattoo each freckle. (Each one takes about four or five pokes.) Using diluted pigment, she’ll slowly build a freckled face until the freckles look soft, natural, and just under the skin. Once she’s completed a first pass with the needle, she applies numbing cream to the client’s face and goes in again to make some bigger or darker without extra discomfort.

Most clients return for a touch-up after a year or two. Depending on both how quickly the freckles fade and how dark they want the freckles to be. Skin-care products speed up the fading process, so expect to go back for maintenance appointments or let the tattoos fade entirely.
