Trends in the modern beauty industry have long moved away from bright, noticeable and sometimes vulgar makeup - today the trend is light, barely noticeable touches that cannot be distinguished from natural ones even upon closer examination. And the technology of combined eyebrow tattooing fits into this picture perfectly: the combination of the hair method and shading allows you to recreate a natural 3D effect, in which the finest hairs provide depth, and the background pigment gives the area harmony and natural charm.
Subtleties of combined pigment application
Combined or 3D technique involves a combination of hair and powder application of a coloring composition to the eyebrow area. To combine the advantages of the two techniques, the master draws clear hairs that imitate the natural growth of the eyebrows, and then shades them with a lighter pigment, which acts as a natural background. The resulting result visually resembles light makeup on ideal eyebrow arches, done with shadows or a barely noticeable pencil. Thanks to this, the combination of shading and hair perm looks impressive and completely natural.
The combined tattoo technique incorporates the most significant advantages of powder and hair methods:
- Thanks to the combination of pigments, the depth and specifics of their application, you can disguise absolutely any natural imperfections, including scars, skin blemishes or a complete lack of hair on the eyebrow arches.
- The combination of the naturalness of natural hairs and the depth of shading allows you to give your eyebrows almost any shape that will be in harmony with the rest of your facial features.
- The result is absolutely organic, regardless of the initial state of the eyebrows, hair color and phototype of appearance.
- The lasting effect allows you to stop using decorative cosmetics for a long time - after tattooing you won’t need it for at least a year, and with proper care, even longer.

However, 3D tattoo combined not only the advantages, but also some of the difficulties of hair and powder microblading. The combined technique requires special care and scrupulousness when drawing each hair and literacy in choosing matching shades, which is only possible with modern equipment, as well as rich experience and high professionalism of the master.
To make eyebrows look natural and organic, you need high-quality and predictable pigments of different but perfectly combined shades, so that during the application process you can recreate both the fine line of each hair and the shadow effect of shading. However, today it is not difficult to choose a palette that meets the stated requirements - the Perma Blend collection of professional pigments intended for eyebrow tattooing contains more than 30 half-tones, which allow you to recreate a natural effect on the skin of any photo type.
Procedure
The 3D tattoo procedure differs from conventional permanent lip makeup, primarily in that the area is painted over not with one color, but with several shades of it, which ultimately gives a very vibrant natural result. This technique, despite the fact that it is performed on the eyebrows, is most applicable to lip tattooing.
In addition, this method allows you to visually give your lips more volume, allowing you to bypass a visit to a plastic surgeon. Of course, this technique is much more complicated than the usual one, it takes more time and effort from the master, but the 3D effect is worth it. Example in the photo.
Particular emphasis in this procedure is given to the selection of pigment colors, because the color transition should be smooth and easy. There are two types of 3D tattoo. The first type involves first painting the outline with a darker shade, then lighter around the perimeter, and even lighter in the middle. The second type, when the transition from dark to light occurs from bottom to top. In order to achieve the most beautiful result, you should do all types of 3D lip tattoos.
The entire procedure of such permanent makeup takes about three hours. Also, for an even more harmonious combination of shades, this time is divided into several sessions, devoting 40 minutes to one area of the skin. In the first session, only the outline is processed; in subsequent sessions, all other areas are painted. This stage is the main secret of 3D technology, and the master uses at least five shades.
Who is suitable for 3D tattoo?
Professional 3D tattoo is a universal aesthetic procedure that effectively copes with the vast majority of eyebrow imperfections:
- Using the combined application of pigment, you can visually recreate even a completely absent eyebrow, not to mention masking bald spots and uneven hair growth.
- Thanks to the volumetric 3D effect, this technique allows you to hide the presence of scars and other skin defects, filling the gaps along the entire length of the eyebrow as naturally as possible.
- As a result of the procedure, sparse, naturally unruly eyebrows will look thicker, more well-groomed and neater.
- The combination of different shades and application techniques allows you to correct the asymmetry of the eyebrows, change their shape, thickness and volume so that it fits perfectly into the image.
- If the eyebrows seem too pale and do not harmonize with the color of the skin and hair, 3D technology is exactly what will allow you to correct the visual defect without resorting to regular hair coloring.
- For those who lead an active lifestyle and have a minimum of free time, combined tattooing will save precious minutes spent on daily application of decorative cosmetics, while ensuring a 100% spectacular and well-groomed appearance in any circumstances.

Eyebrow tattoo
Women often pay little attention to their eyebrows, forgetting that their shape and color can radically change their face and become one of the brightest accents of their appearance. If you want to look neat, but not spend a lot of time on them, 3D tattooing may be the optimal solution.
General information
The technique is one of the varieties of permanent makeup. In a nutshell, the principle of its action is based on the introduction of a colored pigment under the skin into the designated area to a certain depth. 3D eyebrow tattooing combines two fairly popular methods: shoting (lightly coloring the entire skin) and drawing hairs (their image at natural length). Its distinctive characteristics are the complexity and duration of execution, the natural appearance of the final result and the high price.
Stages of implementation
The procedure should take place exclusively in the salon, since it can only be carried out if the cosmetologist has the appropriate experience and qualifications. The whole process can be divided into several conventional stages:
- The preliminary stage is choosing the shape and color of the eyebrows. This is done using a pencil; several options are considered to determine the best one. It should be noted that most often specialists work with shades of brown, they are as natural as possible;
- Application of anesthetic composition.
- Shotting. Shading the paint over the skin of the eyebrows.
- Drawing individual hairs.
The result is ensured for up to five years; the introduction of coloring pigments is carried out to a depth of up to half a centimeter.

Recovery
Since the integrity of the skin is compromised as a result of manipulation, do not forget to take into account the need for a rehabilitation period. It lasts about three weeks and may be accompanied by minor but unpleasant complications. These include redness, mild swelling, and crusting. To consolidate the result and minimize side effects, you should regularly use an antiseptic and moisturizer, do not sunbathe or steam the treated area, and reduce physical impact on it.

In what cases will you have to refuse the procedure?
The list of temporary and absolute restrictions for 3D tattooing is no different from contraindications for other types of permanent eyebrow makeup. These include:
- low blood clotting, incl. treatment with blood thinning drugs;
- the presence of malignant neoplasms and associated chemotherapy;
- immunodeficiency virus of any stage;
- serious cardiovascular pathologies, severe arterial hypertension or vasculitis;
- exacerbation of dermatological pathologies at the site of pigment injection;
- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- the presence of keloid scars.
In addition, in most professional salons, minor clients will need written permission from their parents or their personal presence - despite the safety, tattooing is a minimally invasive procedure with a lasting, long-lasting effect, therefore, if desired, it is carried out only upon reaching 18 years of age.
Who is contraindicated for
3D tattooing, like any cosmetic procedure, has limitations. You should postpone the session if you have an exacerbation of skin diseases: dermatitis, allergies, rosacea. 3D permanent is contraindicated for pregnant women and people with acute respiratory infections. The service is prohibited for patients with diabetes, hemophilia, and bronchial asthma.
You cannot go to the makeup artist’s office while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Even with all the requirements for preparing and caring for eyebrows taken into account, no one is immune from unexpected skin reactions and side effects. If swelling, hematoma persists for a long time, the tattoo area is bleeding, or your health has deteriorated significantly, consult a doctor immediately. Timely medical care will bring a successful result.
Aftercare and recovery
The result obtained immediately after the procedure may be far from ideal, but this is not at all a reason for fear or disappointment - after rehabilitation, the eyebrows will acquire the desired naturalness and will look more harmonious and stylish. And to speed up the approach of this moment, you should listen to the basic recommendations relevant for the rehabilitation period:
- Postpone visiting the solarium and walking on a sunny day until better times - for the first week it is better to protect your eyebrows from ultraviolet radiation. And subsequently, you should not overuse sunbathing without using SPF cosmetics - under the influence of UV rays, many pigments can fade and become dull. However, it is better to clarify this point with your specialist, since some coloring compositions are characterized by increased UW resistance. For example, a tattoo done with Perma Blend pigments will remain just as rich regardless of the degree of tanning - professional compositions are absolutely insensitive to ultraviolet radiation.
- Refuse to use decorative cosmetics, cosmetic and spa treatments for a while - until complete recovery, it is better to protect your skin from any interference.
- As protective and regenerating agents, use formulations with panthenol, a high content of vitamins and moisturizing components - this combination will ensure rapid restoration of the dermis after the intervention.
- If small crusts appear between the hairs, do not remove them under any circumstances - this can injure the skin and negatively affect the healing process.

Following these simple rules, after 5-7 days you will admire the standard shape, fullness and volume of the eyebrows. And after 3-4 weeks you will be able to bring them to absolute perfection, eliminating possible roughness during correction.

Possible contraindications
Tattooing with a volume effect is performed with needles of various diameters and lengths. They should be selected depending on the individual characteristics of the client’s skin and the area of the surface being treated. An experienced specialist will be able to correct existing imperfections, lighten wrinkles or refresh the appearance. However, before the procedure, you should find out all contraindications and discuss possible problems or complications.
Contraindications to the procedure:
- diabetes;
- herpes in any of its manifestations;
- poor coagulation and blood diseases;
- eczema, psoriasis on the face;
- pregnancy, lactation period;
- reduced immunity, the presence of inflammation, acne, acne;
- HIV AIDS;
- oncological diseases.
If the tattoo was applied contrary to existing contraindications, the result may be disastrous. Manifestations of herpes will cause the pigment layer to lie unevenly. Poor blood clotting with a weakened immune system will not allow the crust to heal quickly even when using medicinal ointments
A poorly executed lip tattoo can only be removed with a laser, so the technique must be treated with full responsibility. Otherwise, the result will be the same as in the photo below.
