Manual microblading is a process that involves small, fine-pointed needles (instead of a tattoo machine) that make up a disposable blade and handle to scratch and deposit the pigment simultaneously under the skin. The outcome? Realistic-looking, non-washable forehead hair.

So is microblading a tattoo?

Yes, but no. Unlike tattoos that last forever, microblading is a form of semi-permanent tattoo.

For microblading, a hand tool is used that allows me to create thinner, more precise, hair-like movements that are not as deeply rooted in the skin (compared to, for example, hair movements created by a hair dryer). tattoo).

The pigment also differs from that of a tattoo because it is only semi-permanent, which means that your body gets to metabolize it so that it fades and the dye particles are less concentrated in the microblading ink than in ink of a traditional tattoo.
