Permanent makeup is becoming one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. It allows women to get rid of the need to wear makeup every day. But before you go to the salon, you definitely need to know the features of the chosen procedure. In this article we will tell you how to do proper eyebrow tattooing.

Pros and cons of tattooing

The technique of proper tattooing involves drawing small strokes in the eyebrow area using special cosmetology equipment. The applied pigment composition gives the lines a clear and beautiful pattern. Using a thin needle, dye is injected into the upper layer of the epidermis, creating the effect of natural hairs. Thanks to this correct permanent makeup:

eyebrows become smoother and more well-groomed;
small scars close;
asymmetry is corrected;
gaps in hair growth are eliminated.

Positive characteristics of professional permanent makeup:

Saving time and money. Thanks to proper tattooing, you will not need to create and maintain the shape of your eyebrows every day, and you will also not need to spend money on cosmetics.
Tattooing is not washed off with water, so even when swimming in the sea, you don’t have to worry about the appearance of your eyebrows.
Some women are embarrassed to appear in front of a man without makeup, so they don’t wash it off before going to bed. With the right tattoo, you don’t have to worry about this - you will always look great.
There is no need to adjust your makeup several times a day.

The disadvantages of permanent makeup include the following:

This procedure is quite painful and not particularly pleasant. Local anesthesia is rejected by many specialists, since due to “frozen muscles” the result can be unnatural. Therefore, it is better to be patient.
If the artist is not professional and experienced enough, the tattoo may turn out unsuccessful.
The procedure is quite expensive. On average it will cost 7 thousand rubles.
There is a fairly high risk of getting blood poisoning and infection. This can happen in case of negligence and unprofessionalism of the master.

Methods of applying permanent makeup

Today, various techniques for applying tattoos to eyebrows are used.

A popular technique is shading. Its purpose is to create a soft eyebrow contour. They will look like they are slightly tinted with pencil or shadows. This technique suits all girls, regardless of face shape. The only important condition is the correct choice of pigment color. The shading technique is not easy, so only a very professional and experienced artist can apply it skillfully. In this regard, do not hesitate, before trusting him, to ask about his qualifications; having a diploma will confirm this.
Unfortunately, the hair method of tattooing is not suitable for everyone. It is suitable only for those who have brightness in their eyebrows. The method is based on drawing additional hairs, attaching them to existing ones. The effect is that the eyebrows become thicker. This technique allows eyebrows to look natural and advantageous.

Hair technique

The hair method is used to solve aesthetic and cosmetological problems .
From frequent plucking with tweezers, the eyebrows gradually become thinner and thinner. Not everyone can grow it naturally, and besides, they still don’t grow strong and thick. Appearance suffers from this. Therefore, many girls turn to the procedure of permanent makeup using hair tattooing. Hair technique is divided into types:

European
Oriental

The European type of application has been used for more than seven years . The strokes are made only upward, the length and width of which are from five millimeters to a centimeter. The ends of the eyebrows are smoothly curved down, making the shape perfect. Correction is carried out twice a month.

In the oriental type of application , different directions are used, thanks to which the effect of maximum naturalness is achieved . Since they can intersect, get entangled and get out of the general flow, the length of the strokes is different. The color can be either light or dark. They look very natural, their artificiality cannot be detected. Correction is required only once a year.

The Japanese variety of the oriental type of application is innovative. In Russia there are not many masters who master this technique perfectly. Treated eyebrows look very natural, the tattoo is visible only with a close look.

Contraindications for eyebrow tattooing

The procedure for proper eyebrow tattooing has contraindications, so before resorting to it, you need to study them. It is prohibited to do permanent makeup if:

blood clotting indicators are not normal (reduced);
Scars often and easily appear on the skin;
there are mental disorders;
there is insulin dependence (diabetes mellitus).

Experts do not recommend tattooing eyebrows during menstruation and pregnancy. It is not recommended to carry out the procedure at elevated temperatures and high blood pressure.

Features of the procedure

What is eyebrow biotattooing? The answer to this question is quite simple - this is henna staining a small area on the face where a person’s eyebrows are located. This procedure can be carried out in almost every beauty salon or cosmetology center. Having certain skills and the necessary equipment, you can get a biotattoo even at home. The procedure has a number of advantages:

no pain when shaping eyebrows;
natural appearance of eyebrows;
strengthening the hair follicle;
there is no need for daily tinting of eyebrows with shadows or special mascara;
color fastness.

Biotattoo - eyebrow dyeing with henna
Another undeniable advantage is dyeing with a natural dye. Some cosmetologists offer regular eyebrow tattooing - a permanent tattoo. Tattooing is applied to the skin of the face like a regular tattoo. The procedure has significant disadvantages:

does not wash off;
the paint is applied with a special apparatus using a needle;
done under anesthesia.

This procedure is not suitable for everyone, as it has many contraindications. Modern biotattooing is an excellent alternative to eyebrow tattooing. The paint is applied without damaging the skin, this is another advantage of biotattooing. During the procedure, the likelihood of viruses or bacteria entering the blood is very low.

How to choose the right eyebrow tattoo shape

Before you begin to understand the technique of performing the correct tattoo and choosing the optimal shape, you need to conditionally divide the eyebrows into parts: head, body and tail. The head is the most voluminous part, which is located near the bridge of the nose. The body is in the middle, and the tail is the thinnest part. To determine what type of eyebrows you have, you need to use a pencil, placing it between the head and tail. There are the following types of eyebrows:

ascending - the tail is lower than the head;
with a break - there is a clear curve in the middle, giving the face some flirtatiousness;
rounded - in the form of a smooth arc;
horizontal - the head and tail of the eyebrows are located along the same line;
falling - the line of the eyebrows at the bridge of the nose is much higher than the outer one;
house - eyebrows have the shape of a triangle. Suitable for few;
arched - the head and tail are located along the same line, but have a smooth bend. This is the most universal type.

Before going to a beauty salon, draw several eyebrow options, choose the one you like and most suitable, with which you will feel more confident. For greater clarity, you can take a few photos and consult with friends.

There is a standard method for choosing the right eyebrow shape for tattooing. To do this you will need a pencil (pen) and a mirror. First, determine the area of the head by placing a pen from the side of the nose to the inner corner of the eye.

Then the shaft of the pen should pass from the nose to the eyebrow through the pupil - you will get a midpoint or bend. To find out where the tail will be, you need to draw a virtual line from the wing of the nose to the outer corner of the eye.

Experts often advise choosing the correct eyebrow shape based on your face type. The following types are distinguished:

Round
. With this type, it is not recommended to make eyebrows horizontal or rounded. A round face should be adorned with arched eyebrows and a short tail.
Oval
. Any shape of eyebrows will suit this face; it’s just important not to spoil what nature has given.
Square
. To soften your facial features, you need to make your eyebrows rounded and wide.
Diamond-shaped
. A classic eyebrow shape with a beautiful smooth curve is suitable for him.
An elongated
face will be decorated with horizontal eyebrows.
shaped eyebrows suit a heart-shaped
face .

Proper eyebrow tattooing, the instructions for which every professional eyebrow artist should know, can bring a lot of new things to the image.

But there are times when it is necessary not only to emphasize advantages, but also to correct flaws or features of the face. The table will help you with this:

Eyebrow tattoo color

When choosing the right eyebrow color, you need to consider your type of appearance:

brown-haired and brunette women with light skin tones can safely dye their hair in chocolate shades;
blondes should pay attention to light brown colors;
the correct shade of eyebrow tattoo for brunettes with dark skin is brown, as close to black as possible;
fair-haired girls can paint their eyebrows gray;
girls with red hair should choose shades of golden chestnut;
Gray hair goes well with shades of gray and brown.

How to properly care for eyebrow tattoos

If you have had a tattoo, you need to provide proper care after the procedure. Immediately after coloring, eyebrows may look very bright, and the surrounding skin may appear swollen and red. After a day, all these symptoms disappear, but until this happens, the inflamed areas should be wiped with Miramistin or Chlorhexidine. Crusts that form the next day will make permanent makeup less bright. It is necessary to continue treating damaged areas with antiseptics.

Very dry skin should be lubricated with Bepanten cream, applying it in a thin layer several times a day. The scabs promote a faster and more natural healing process, so if possible you should try not to disturb their integrity. The skin usually recovers within 5–7 days, during which time it should not be wetted, stained or touched.

It is recommended to refrain from visiting a bathhouse, sauna or swimming pool for at least 14 days. In the summer, apply sunscreen to your skin every day for several weeks before going outside.

Fourth to seventh days after the procedure, what next?

After tattooing, eyebrows heal very actively between the fourth and seventh days. The girl may be bothered by itching in the area of permanent exposure associated with tissue healing. Now the crusts can gradually disappear on their own, and in their place a slight peeling of the skin appears.

The most unpleasant, as a rule, is the fifth day, when the itching becomes unbearable. You still cannot scratch the arches; you can only press lightly on them with the tip of a clean cotton swab. If the crusts partially fall off, they must be treated with an antiseptic; this process begins especially actively by the sixth day.

After a week, the itching may remain, but the crusts, for the most part, have already disappeared. Now peeling of the skin begins, associated with constant treatment with an antiseptic. To hide the severity of this process, you need to use a healing or moisturizing cream.

It is not yet possible to use cosmetics; in addition, there are the following prohibitions:

use of decorative cosmetics;
visiting a solarium, bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool;
swimming in salt water;
exposure to open sunlight;
visiting crowded places (to protect yourself from possible infection with a viral infection, which will lengthen the recovery period).

To help your own body, it is now important to take vitamin and mineral complexes.

Eyebrow tattoo correction

With the help of the right permanent tattoo, we can significantly save time in the morning to always look well-groomed and stunning. But the desired effect is not always achieved after the first session. Correction is often required to achieve the desired result. Sometimes clients expect a super effect immediately after the procedure, but after a few days the pigmented areas may become less bright. Usually the desired saturation appears in a month, then the final result of the work done will be visible.

This can also happen during the formation of crusts, with the removal of which some of the dye is removed. Why does this process take 4 to 5 weeks? Because it will take that long for the skin to completely renew itself. Correcting incorrectly performed eyebrow tattooing is quite difficult, so you need a serious and careful approach to choosing a specialist. The key to proper eyebrow tattooing is the professional work of the artist.

Let's figure out when correction is needed:

If you need to add more pigment layer to make the color more saturated and the contour line clearer. In some cases, due to not entirely proper care, the coloring composition may be damaged, then it needs to be leveled.
Poor quality work needs to be corrected.
If there is a need to draw on the tip of the eyebrow to change its width or color.
Correction of the correct tattoo is usually done after a month. Not always (even rarely) women are satisfied with the result achieved after the first session.

So, as you understand, you must take corrective actions. Otherwise, you may end up with unattractive makeup for a short time. And only a good correction will help you get the right tattoo for quite a long time (3 years). Therefore, visit the specialist again to forget about the fact that you need to paint your eyebrows every morning to look your best. Correction is needed to complete the work and achieve the ideal image. During the repeat procedure, a month after the initial tattoo, the specialist will correct the shape and add pigment.

Renewal, when a new dye is applied,

performed several years after the first session.

Correction

must be done if you get to a non-professional and your eyebrows turn out blue, green or light blue.

Tattoo removal methods

Most women leave a beauty salon feeling completely satisfied with the right permanent makeup, which emphasized their individuality and made them look more attractive.

But there are often cases when visitors remain dissatisfied and refuse further correction. They ask to immediately delete everything that has been done. It also happens that as a result of a poorly performed tattoo, the eyebrows turn out to be blue, green, “spread” and, even worse, swelling, a scar or scar appears on them.

There was a time when removing pigment from under the skin seemed unrealistic; only experienced craftsmen could do it. A huge problem was the large scars that remained after the procedure and did not at all decorate the face.

Modern technologies make it possible to remove annoying tattoos or permanent makeup. Besides, not a trace remains of them! In addition, the methods are safe and harmless to your body.

To remove paint, there are two methods:

Laser.

It is one of the most effective and popular methods of tattoo removal. This method allows you to penetrate the upper layer of the epidermis by 4–6 mm. The coloring composition is removed using a thermal reaction: first the pigment is heated, then it is removed from the body naturally. The pigment is completely “washed out” during the first two to three weeks.

But the results will be visible after the first procedure, when excessive brightness and saturation disappear and gradual “fading” begins. One of the disadvantages of the laser method is that it is quite painful.

To completely remove the dye, you need to do from 3 to 5 sessions, since the pigment “lies” quite deep in the eyebrows and one time will not be enough. The duration of the laser procedure is from 10 to 20 minutes. Minor swelling and redness may occur. Don't panic - this is how the skin reacts to interventions. The resulting crust cannot be peeled off. Permanent makeup can be reapplied 1–2 months after the previous one has been removed.

Using chemical reagents.

Biotattoo can be removed with a special remover. Permanent makeup is removed using Tattoo Remover. The solution carries out a biochemical reaction, resulting in the removal of the pigment by the lymphatic system.

The process itself is similar to the procedure for applying dye. The remover is injected under the skin with a special machine to the depth of the pigment. After the session, a crust forms, which is best not to remove.

Advantages of this method:

the coloring pigment is removed almost completely (99.9%);
The procedure is inexpensive and requires a small number of sessions. In this way, you can remove tired makeup even in one session;
the method is safe, hypoallergenic and easy to perform.

The disadvantages include:

quite long healing (from 3 to 6 months);
The eyelid area should not be touched, as if the product gets into the eyes, a severe burning sensation may occur and an allergy may appear;
the crust formed after the removal session disappears within 10–14 days;
there is a possibility of scarring and cicatricial formation.

You shouldn't be too afraid of the latter. This can only happen if the master decided to remove the coloring pigment in one go and injected the remover very deeply under the skin. Take a little more time and do a few more sessions, otherwise you risk losing the beauty of your skin.

It’s up to you to choose which method of tattoo removal is best. They are all not without their drawbacks, but the procedure for applying permanent makeup is also not ideal. After removing the pigment, the skin becomes very sensitive, subject to irritation and various infections. You need to follow some rules to avoid possible complications.

Does tattoo technique affect the duration of the procedure?

The duration depends on the chosen technique and the experience of the cosmetologist, therefore it is better to check the exact duration of the cosmetic procedure with the specialist.

The duration of the cosmetic procedure depends on the type of eyebrow tattoo and the pigment injected. The following types of permanent makeup are distinguished:

classical. The pigment is injected into the eyebrow area using a device with a special tattoo needle. The substance enters 1 mm deep into the skin. Features of classic makeup: duration, pain and mandatory correction after 30 days. In terms of time, tattooing will take from 45 minutes. up to 1 hour;
velvet. Another name is powdery. It should be done by girls who want to get the most natural-looking eyebrows without angles. The makeup looks light, voluminous, and the dye is atomized. The pigment is introduced into the upper epithelium without damaging the blood vessels. It doesn’t take long to do a velvet tattoo: from half an hour to 45 minutes. Tissue regeneration occurs within 24 hours;
microblading. Using a special pen, small hairs are drawn, making the eyebrows natural. Due to the fact that the master has to do small details, the procedure takes up to one and a half hours. The minimum session time, if the artist is experienced and the pigment applies easily and does not cause irritation, is 1 hour 10 minutes. The advantage of this type of tattoo: rapid tissue regeneration, minimal pain. Correction is not necessary;
shadow. Cosmetologists recommend tattooing for girls with unevenly growing eyebrows. To create a shadow effect by painting it will take up to 1 hour. The duration of application is due to the use of 2-8 pigments of various shades and needles of varying thickness;
effect 3 or 6-D. To create voluminous eyebrows, several pigments and needles with narrow, wider noses are used. During the application of the dye, the skin is pierced to different depths. Doing eyebrows will take from 1 to 1.5 hours.

Recommendations for skin care after tattoo removal

Both during the tattoo itself and after it is done, you need to know how to care for your eyebrows:

If puffiness or swelling occurs, take Suprastin or Tavegil - they relieve allergy symptoms and swelling.
If there is pain, then you need to take painkillers (No-shpu, Spazmalgon, etc.).
A visit to the pool, sauna or solarium is canceled until all wounds have healed.
It is not recommended to use aggressive cosmetics, especially peelings and scrubs containing acid and rough particles.
You should not touch, much less rip off the crusts.
It is necessary to protect your skin from the sun.
You should try to touch your eyebrows as little as possible and gently wipe your face with a towel after washing.
