Tattooing vs Microblading in Manchester | Located in Altrincham, We Treat Clients from the Surrounding Areas

Microblading is often referred to as eyebrow tattooing, but there are numerous differences between our cosmetic eyebrow treatments and traditional tattooing. Having provided natural-looking, tailored treatments to countless clients over the years, we have found that semi permanent eyebrows are the ideal solution for most people wanting an easier option than applying make-up every day.

Located in Altrincham, we welcome customers from all the surrounding areas, including Manchester. Please read our testimonials to see what they say about our treatments, which include ombré brows, eyebrow colour boosts, dermal fillers, fat freezing and more.

How Microblading Compares to Traditional Tattoos

Permanence

divider

Regular tattoos last a lifetime. While they may fade a bit, you would need to undergo laser tattoo removal if you ever wanted to get rid of a tattoo. With microbladed brows, the ink is not placed as deep underneath the skin. This means the ink eventually rises to the surface, fades significantly over time, and disappears completely after a few years. This is why regular touch-ups are important to keep your eyebrows looking their best.

Ink Colour

Microblading uses a different type of ink. The ink we use for eyebrow treatments does not turn blue or brown like traditional tattoo ink – it maintains the original hue even as it fades.

Application

divider

We use two methods for drawing eyebrows: digital or microblading techniques. The latter involves using fine needles to hand-draw individual hairs. For digital brows, we use a special machine that looks like a pen, with a fine needle that moves up and down. This is similar to a traditional tattoo machine but offers greater control and doesn’t go as deep into the skin. Traditional tattooing uses a larger coil machine that can’t produce such fine strokes.

Pain

You might feel pressure and a scratching sensation when getting an eyebrow treatment, but most customers agree there is minimal pain and discomfort. Traditional tattooing can be quite painful.

Look

Microblading uses hair-like strokes that follow the natural growth pattern of the eyebrows, creating soft, natural-looking brows. Tattooed eyebrows tend to look flatter or drawn on.
