Frequently asked questions.
Q. What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent brow tattoo performed using feather/hair like strokes to give fuller and enhanced eyebrows. Microblading is a softer/more subtle cosmetic tattoo than some of
older methods. Microblading pigments are designed to gently fade over time. Fading is desired as it allows the artist to make changes to color and shape over the years as client’s eyebrow style, shape, preference, natural coloration, and facial changes occur.
Q. What is Suji/Ombre?
Suji (aka Microshading, Ombre, Powder Brows). This is the newest technique invented in South Korea. It has gained massive popularity because of the soft finish powdery look, non-damaging skin and amazing healed results. It involves application of thousands of tiny dots of pigment, inserted into the skin, gradually building up a color and defined shape. This method works with most skin types, including oily or combination skin. Say goodbye to harsh, solid fill-in brow tattoos and hello to beautiful, natural-looking eyebrows with Suji technique.
Q. Should I choose Microblading or Suji (Ombre)?
Your PMU artist will consult with you during your first visit to determine the best option for you. Ombre creates a powdery look, and Microblading creates hair-like strokes!
Q. How long is the appointment?
1 hr 30 min - 2 hours
Q. Is follow up/touch up appointment included?
In order to ensure that the brows heal perfectly, touch up should be done in 3-6 weeks. This first touch up is included as it gives us the ability to correct any areas that possibly faded or allows the client to make suggestions if they want adjustments with the shape or color.
Q. How long does it last?
The treatment is considered semi-permanent and will fade over time. Touch ups are recommended every 1-2 years to maintain shape and color. How often depends on a number of factors including:
1) Skin type (Oily skin fade faster)
2) Pigment color used (Lighter color fade faster)
3) Lots of sun exposure
4) Use of daily anti-aging products that has Retin-A
Q. Does it hurt?
No, we will try to make the process as comfortable as possible. Topical anesthetic is applied to the area to minimize discomfort, followed by a liquid anesthetic during the procedure. Some clients may
feel a slight discomfort but it’s relatively pain free for most.
Q. Can I get tattooed if I am pregnant?
As a precaution to avoid any complications, we do not perform cosmetic tattoo on pregnant women.
