The difference between cosmetic tattoos and micro-blading

Cosmetic tattoos and micro-blading offer a whole range of opportunities to enhance any parts of your body.

Micro blading is not permanent. This procedure lasts from 1 to 3 years.

The shorter life of micro-blading may allow you to change the shading of the tattoo, the shape, or even the lines of the tattoo at a later date.

Eyebrow micro-blading is most common. Ink is not deep under the skin, tattooing is deeper into the skin.

Micro-blading is less painful than tattooing. 

If you were to have the choice of cosmetic tattoos and micro-blading done in the same place on your body, then the cosmetic tattoo is more likely to be the more painful of the two.

Cosmetic tattooing, also knwn as “Micropigmentation” is a very popular treatment. This involves the controlled insertion of safe colour pigments into the dermis layer of the skin. This method can instantly improve the appearance of your chosen area.

Tattoo pigment has smaller pigment particles suspended in a diluting agent.

This allows for a more natural, softer colour in the skin. Layering the pigment can create a much more realistic finish.

Traditional tattoo inks are much more concentrated, they have much stronger colours. 

This permanent procedure does not leave room for a change of mind about any part of the tattoo. This would involve modifying the original tattoo.

Visible cosmetic  “tattoos”  should be planed and completed perfectly from the outset with no errors to avoid a disappointing outcome.

Quality tattoo aftercare helps protect against sun, dry skin, poor diet, hot tubs, hot dry wind and even some injuries that occur in our everyday lives.
