Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing that uses a grouping of needles to manually create the appearance of eyebrow hairs. While some claim it is not a tattoo or is only semi-permanent, it is in fact a tattoo procedure that implants pigment into the dermis layer of skin similarly to other permanent cosmetics. Less pigment is used in microblading than other eyebrow tattooing techniques, resulting in shorter lasting results. Those interested in microblading should ensure any training received meets regulatory standards and includes the necessary hours of instruction on safety, anatomy, and technique mastery as with other permanent cosmetic procedures.
