Tattoo Eyebrows: Everything You Need to Know!

Everything that you need to know about tattoo eyebrows, including tons of photos of celebrities who have them!

When you hear the words “eyebrows” and “tattoo” in the same sentence, you probably think: “What crazy person would get their eyebrows tattooed?” Tattoo eyebrows are quite popular in Singapore and Malaysia, but the trend has not caught on in other countries. But, before you see the pictures and learn what tattoo eyebrows look like, let us tell you something about the entire process itself.

So, tattooed eyebrows are also known as also known as cosmetic tattooing, semi-permanent makeup, pigment embroidery, 3D eyebrow embroidery, or microblading. Once you get your eyebrows tattooed, they won’t stay that way forever, like the other, permanent tattoos do. Since this type of makeup is semi-permanent, expect you eyebrows to stick around for a year or so.

Tattoo Eyebrows IMPORTANT INFO:

Eyebrow tattoos are not those disgusting, fake eyebrows you see on girls with fake tans and fake, well, everything. Eyebrow tattoos are a sort of art. A semi-permanent pigment is pushed into the surface of the skin with a fine blade. This is done in such a way that it mimics the growth of your already existing hair, and create natural-looking brows. There are no tattoo guns, ink, pain, bleeding or downtime.

Once you make up your mind to do so, you need to go looking for a proper artist. For example, check out the work of an Instagram-famous cosmetic tattoo artist Shaughnessy Keely. The process of searching for a good cosmetic tattoo artist may take some time. When looking for one, make sure to pay attention to the following things:

  • Artist’s portfolio. Social media makes it incredibly easy to research your cosmetic tattoo artist in depth.
  • Artist’s training. It should be accredited by either an awarding organisation or an official association such as BABTAC.
  • Once you visit your artist, take a look around. The clinic should be clean and hygienic.
  • Check out their tools. A proper artist should only use machines/tools that have a CE mark and the pigment should follow the EU safety regulations.

Another thing you need to prepare yourself for is the price. Do not go for a cheaper artist because you may end up with a messed up face! And for an entire year, or even more. Or, the artist may do good work but improper tools and pigments may cause damage to your face. When it comes to prices, usually artist charge around $50 per consultation and the actual tattoo service costs between $400 and $650. Touch-ups cost around $250.

Are you ready for the pictures? Go on, take a look.

Every cosmetic tattoo artist will have a couple of sessions with you, before you two set the date of the appointment. There, you will talk about many things – from the shape of your new eyebrows to their color. The artist may go for a darker color than your natural eyebrows. But, don’t be afraid. Sometimes, our eyebrows are too light/too dark. If the artist has a good portfolio and many positive reviews, then there is nothing you should be afraid of.

Filling in your eyebrows is a great alternative. You probably already are a pro when it comes to that! But, it is a bit disappointing to receive so many compliments for your eyebrows and then watch them disappear at the end of the day. By getting tattoo eyebrows, the only thing that will disappear will be the problem of disappearing eyebrows.

27. Do Tattoo Eyebrows Hurt?

Tattoo Eyebrows: Everything You Need to Know!

An amazing thing about eyebrow embroidery is that it practically does not hurt at all. Before the artist starts performing miracles, a numbing ointment will be placed over the brow area. Thanks to this, you will not feel any pain. You may feel a slightly uncomfortable sensation, like someone is scratching your face.

But, the process is not completely painless either. As the treatment goes on, the effect of the numbing ointment wears off. Then, you may feel a slight pain that is adequate to piercing your ears. Not unbearable, but not completely painless.

Many people also wonder is there any blood. We will be glad to tell you that there is not.

Right after you are done with the treatment, you may feel that your new eyebrows are too dark for your skin tone. But, do not panic. The ink looks intense in the beginning, but the intensity fades away very soon. It will take only a week for the shade of your eyebrows to fade to what you’ll really want them to look like.

One of the most inspiring stories I ever read was from a cancer survivor. Due to chemotherapy, her eyebrows fell out and never grew back.

Some people may think: “Why are you girls making such a fuss about eyebrows?!” But, once you discover a certain insecurity on your body it will follow you forever.

Ready for more tattoo eyebrows and designs? Once you do get your new eyebrows, you will have to take care of them in a special way during the first week. Don’t worry! It is not anything complicated. You just won’t be able to wash your face…

Tattoo Eyebrows: Everything You Need to Know!

Just kidding! You will be able to wash your face, but you will just have to be extra careful, meaning that it would be the best if the water does not touch your eyebrows at all. Water may wash off the pigment a bit, and you do not want that of course. Instead, you may use a washcloth to clean the area around your eyebrows.
