What is the eyebrow tattoo?
Tattooing the eyebrows can be an excellent remedy for many women who want to have a neat and defined shape, without the need to fill every eyebrow with the appropriate pencil every day. The final result, however, may not like: some, in fact , they find it too fake or too pronounced, as if the eyebrow is losing its natural appearance.
If we wanted to go more specifically, the eyebrow tattoo is a semi-permanent make-up technique also called micropigmentation, which simulates the direction of hair growth for a very similar effect to the natural hairs of which the eyebrows are composed. This type of treatment is carried out in beauty salons or specialized tattoo centers that use a special tool, the dermograph, and bio-compatible inks that can be absorbed by the skin.
There are no particular contraindications, even if we will talk about them later, but it is important to rely on experts if we want a good result and above all we want to avoid finding ourselves with eyebrows that are too dark, too thick and not at all natural.
The permanent tattoo is not recommended in most cases, because over the years the eyebrows could take on a shape that is no longer manageable, due to the sagging of the tissues: it is therefore better to rely on the micropigmentation technique, which uses bioabsorbable and fading pigments gradually with time (usually between 12 and 18 months).
