Microblading is an eyebrow tattoo technique that deposits small amounts of ink in the superficial layer of the skin. It is considered to be a semi-permanent tattoo used as an alternative technique or creating naturally defined fuller eyebrows.
What are 3D brows, feather stroke brows, or hair stroke tattoos?
3D brows, feather strokes bows and hair stroke tattoos are all terms used to describe the same technique, which is offered at Avant Garde Salon.
How long does microblading last?
The traditional tattooed eyebrow technique can last for up to 20 years. This is because the tattooed pigment is sitting in the deeper layers of the skin. Microblading eyebrows is different in that the pigment is imbedded into a layer of the skin they is closer to the surface. For this reason, eyebrows that have been microbladed will last for 1-2 years, as long as it is maintained.
