Eyebrow Tattoo and Eyebrow Embroidery
What is an eyebrow tattoo? What is eyebrow embroidery? What is the difference between the two and should you do it?
Both of these procedures come under the heading of permanent or semi-permanent eyebrow makeup. Below, we will explain what each procedure is.
Firstly, both procedures are suitable for those with sparse or non-existent eyebrows - for instance, those suffering from the effects of chemotherapy, or alopecia. Even those with very light eyebrows will benefit. Instead of pencilling in your eyebrows every day, you can wake up every morning and come out of the shower or pool with natural-looking eyebrows (provided that the procedure is done by a competent and well-trained professional!)
Eyebrow Tattooing
An eyebrow tattoo is exactly what it says - it is a tattoo on your eyebrow area, using ink and needles. Eyebrow tattoos can discolor over time, which is why you often see ladies of a certain age with bluish/greenish eyebrows! (This can be avoided if the tattoo is retouched every few years). Also, like any tattoo, it is permanent and the only way to get rid of it is to laser it off!
Eyebrow Embroidery
Eyebrow embroidery is less permanent than eyebrow tattooing. It only injects color to the top layer of your skin. As such, it will only last 2 years. The good thing about this procedure is that your eyebrows will not discolor. It is also known as a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo.
Which Procedure
Eyebrow embroidery is preferable to tattooing - it tends to look more natural and is less permanent.
Where Can I Get It Done?
This procedure is very popular in Asia and can be found in many beauty salons. Many salons in the United States and United Kingdom are now starting to offer permanent or semi-permanent makeup.
How Much Does It Cost?
Eyebrow embroidery / tattooing costs between $300 - $500.
Will It Look Natural?
If you get it done by a skilled person, it will look like expertly applied eyebrow makeup. It also depends on what color and shape you choose for your eyebrows.
Which Color
Choose the color you would normally use to pencil in your eyebrows. It should be only a shade or two away from your hair color.
What Shape?
Don't choose an eyebrow shape that is trendy only for the moment. Choose one that you will look good on you on any occasion. Avoid overly dramatic arches as it will make you look older.
If you're interested in semi-permanent / permanent eyebrows, you might also be interested in eyeliner and lip makeup embroidery as well.
