Which Cosmetic Tattoo Service Is Best For You: Ombre, Nano or Micro?
Welcome to the world of cosmetic brow tattoos, the fastest growing trend in brow services! This innovative technique has taken the beauty industry by storm, promising to transform sparse, uneven, or over-plucked brows into picture-perfect arches. With the rise of social media and the desire for flawless looks, more and more people are turning to cosmetic brow tattoos as a long-lasting solution. But what exactly are they, and how do they work? In this post, we'll explore the benefits of all the cosmetic brow tattoos offered by us at Bang on Brows and explore which one suits who. So, get ready to discover the wonders of this beauty trend!
Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent procedure that is also known as feather touch tattoo. This technique fills in the sparse areas by placing fine strokes of pigment with a hand-held tool for a fuller look. For only 1-2 hours you can have brows that'll last you 12-18 months, depending on lifestyle and upkeep. The total healing process may take 4 to 6 weeks, during which time brows may look flaky or faded at around the 10-day mark. The final colour and shape will emerge around 30 days after the initial appointment. At Bang on Brows, our experienced cosmetic tattoo artists charge $650 for microblading. This includes a consultation and touch-up appointment at 6-8 weeks from the initial service.
Ombre Brows
Ombre or powder brows are a type of semi-permanent makeup that involves implanting tiny particles of pigment in a pixelated pattern to create the appearance of powder-filled brows. This effect is similar to using a brow pencil to shade in the brows. Like microblading, Ombre brows can last up to 12-18 months. The total healing process also takes 4-6 weeks, with flaky or faded brows around the 10-day mark. Again, the final colour and shape will emerge around 30 days after your initial appointment. Our Bang on Brows tattoo artists charge $650 for Ombre brows. This includes the consultation and a touch-up service 6-8 weeks after the initial appointment.
Nano Brows
Nano brows are another type of cosmetic tattooing that can help you achieve full and fluffy brows. Unlike microblading, this uses a thinner and more flexible needle for greater precision and accuracy when filling in your brows. The entire procedure usually takes around 1-2 hours, 4 to 6 weeks to heal and lasts 18-24 months (depending on the individual). Certain lifestyle habits such as regular exfoliation and frequent exposure to UV rays can cause your Nano brows to fade more. Applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30 will also help lessen the fading effects. Since the treatment opens the skin, it is common to expect some redness, swelling, and tenderness in the first 48 hours. At Bang on Brows, our experienced cosmetic tattoo artists charge $699 for this service. This price includes a consultation and touch-up appointment, which usually takes place after 6-8 weeks.
So, which Cosmetic Tattoo service is right for me?
Now that you know what each brow cosmetic tattoo service is, which one is the best for you? Knowing which one best suit your vision and skin type, helps create magical brows.
Microblading is best for cases of asymmetry or sparse brow growth, or those who suffer from no hair growth at all. Not to mention microblading would be a great solution for the dreaded overplucked '90s brow. It is also recommended for those who do not like to wear a lot of brow make-up. Due to only injecting into the very top part of your skin, microblading creates a more muted effect than Nano or Ombre brows. This makes it a great option for those with thinner or dry skin textures and individuals more hesitant to test out brow tattoo services. Nano brows are best for individuals looking for the natural results of Microblading but also have thicker, acne-prone prone, or oily skin. Nano brow services are also recommended for those with previously tattooed brows who may be looking for corrective work. The needle’s ultra-fine shape also prevents the device from inflicting deep scarring or high levels of trauma to the skin and allows for detailed work that avoids any vulnerable sections of the brow. Ombre brows provide extra depth and definition for those seeking a filled-in brow look. It is important to note that cosmetic tattoo services are not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, as well as those prone to keloids, super thin skin, rosacea, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Appointment Time!
You've chosen the best brow cosmetic tattoo service for yourself. What’s next? To get gorgeous, tattooed brows, the first step is to fill out a booking request form on our website. After receiving your request, one of our experienced tattoo artists will contact you over the phone to discuss further information and personal history. Then, you’ll have your first appointment and a follow-up appointment six weeks later to touch up your brows. To prepare for your service, we suggests that you don't get Botox or filler in the brow area. It is also best to avoid chemical peels, or use AHA/BHAs, retinoids, and exfoliating cosmetics in the weeks leading up to your appointment. Also, stop plucking, tweezing, or waxing brow hair in the week leading up to your appointment, and three days prior, stop taking Aspirin, Advil, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Niacin, CoQ10, and Fish oil. Lastly, avoid alcohol one day before your appointment.
