Microblading
A semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo technique that uses a hand tool to deposit pigment in hairlike strokes, simulating natural brows.
What is microblading?
Microblading is a manual cosmetic tattoo performed with a hand-held tool that creates fine, hairlike incisions filled with pigment. Results last 12–18 months, after which a touch-up is needed. It’s ideal for sparse brows; not recommended for very oily skin (results blur-sm faster).
