What Is It?
Microblading is a type of eyebrow architecture. It is all about creating the best shape for each face – a totally bespoke approach for each client.
The process is very precise thanks to the tool that is used which is effectively like a pen with the nib being a sloped blade with 10-12 little needles at the end - needles that don’t penetrate the skin but just delicately scratch the surface, much like a paper cut.
​
The needle very finely implants featherweight strokes with a medical grade pigment on the epidermis layer for the skin, creating fine, realistic and natural hair strokes.
It's different to Eyebrow tattoo's
Microblading, unlike tattooing, is not in the deep layer of skin, but more on the surface. This is also not permanent, and the colour fades within 18 months.
The hair strokes are far more natural and finer than any tattoo, as a handheld needle/blade is used – there is no electrical gadget that permeates deep in this technique. There is therefore more of a scratching noise, rather than a buzz of a tattoo gun which pierces the skin so deeply.
What to Expect?
The procedure takes place over the course of an hour to an hour and a half, if not longer, depending on the look you’re going for. Once the appointment is completed, your lips may be swollen—it is a tattoo, after all—so you can ice them if necessary. Over the next week, your lips will start to heal, meaning they may scab, so it’s important to time this carefully around your schedule.
Cost & Length of Procedure
Single session costs £250.00 and takes around 2.5 hours to complete the procedure

Attention!
There are people who are sensitive and allergic to some pigments, but in my experience this is extremely rare. I will always perform a patch or scratch test to check you are not allergic prior to the treatment.
Why Have A Patch Test?
With any permanent makeup treatment there is one thing you MUST have before treatment commences. And it could avoid irreparable damage being done to your face.
When To Have A Patch Test?
A patch test should be carried out at least 48!hours before any permanent makeup is applied. This is a simple step which takes just a few seconds to do but could save you a lot of hassle, heart ache and pain.

Why You Can't Have A Cosmetic Tattoo When Pregnant Or Breastfeeding
With all the hormonal changes and things you have to deal with during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding it is completely understandable that you deserve to spoil yourself with something that makes you feel good and attractive. So, I have a lot of ladies enquire who are pregnant or
breastfeeding who want perfect brows and makeup to wake up to every morning to suit their new busy mum lifestyle. Makes perfect sense but unfortunately though, most women don’t realise that Permanent Makeup is not recommended for women while they are pregnant or breastfeeding
Here’s the run down on why:
All Cosmetic Tattoo / Micropigmentation procedures carry some risk of infection because the skin is being broken. While all measures are taken to prevent any infection during the procedure is a very slight possibility you can get an infection if not cared for correctly after the procedure (for example if the client wears makeup or touches the healing work done). If this happens, then the baby could pick up a secondary infection.
​
During pregnancy, facial tissue can be stretched due to swelling and fluid retention. This means that makeup tattoos applied during pregnancy have the potential to change in shape once the baby has been born or no longer suit.
​
Facial skin may be more susceptible to pigment darkening (especially for those who get Melasma, commonly known as the “mask of pregnancy”) and so the trauma to the skin during the procedure may result in hyper-pigmentation in that area. So basically your skin would get pigmented and darker in some areas
On the other had in some women find their skin may also be resistant to accepting the tattoo pigment due to the increase in hormonal changes and fluctuations
There is also a slight possibility that some ladies can faint while being pregnant and this would not be ideal while tattooing.
Most cosmetic tattooists will use some form of anesthetic and numbing cream prior and during procedures. These will absorb into the skin and may enter into the blood stream.
​
There is not enough known about the tattoo pigments on the growing baby to ensure safety
It's always best to be cautious while being pregnant and or breastfeeding and just wait those extra few months. A good Cosmetic Tattoo Artist will want the best for you and your baby.
