Permanent makeup has been around since the 1930s when tattoo machines were adapted to apply pigment to the skin for cosmetic purposes. These techniques gained popularity in the 1970s when beauty trends emphasized defined features. Over the years technology and techniques have improved leading to more natural-looking results. The widely known technique of microblading emerged in the late 20th century and remained the prominent technique for years. However, the industry is moving away from this technology as it has its drawbacks. The procedure can be quite painful for clients as it requires cutting into the skin with a bladed tool. It is also not suitable for oily porous skin. Overtime the hair strokes blur and thicken, loosing their natural appearance. Clients have also experienced scarring and pigment that turns gray or blue. Today the industry has moved away from the blade and back to tattoo machines. Now there are specialized machines designed specifically for working on the delicate features of the face. We also use very fine needle cartridges that greatly improve client comfort during procedures. Now pigment is deposited superficially into the skin one dot at a time rather than carved into the skin. Clients can expect to experience an easier healing process with longer lasting and stable results. With these modern advances in technology, we are able to offer beautiful natural looking results for your eyebrows, eyes, and lips that people will be shocked to find out is a tattoo.
