Microblading, also known by a variety of names such as eyebrow embroidery, microstroking, nano blading,  provides for a means to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hairs by using 'feather touch'  hair like strokes that fill the eyebrow with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments. The technique of implanting pigment in fine incisions in the skin may date back thousands of years, however, the trend towards using the technique for eyebrows may have emerged in Asia in recent years.

Microblading is performed by manually depositing pigment superficially in the upper region of the dermis with the use of a hand tool with attached needles fused together in a linear grouping, it does not involve the use of a machine. Similar to permanent makeup brow treatments using a machine, the needle groupings tend to contain needles that are extremely fine in diameter in comparison to the needles used in traditional tattooing, however, recent advancements in cosmetic tattoo needle technology has also produced extremely fine needles gauges for microblading use. Technicians usually use a numbing solution to limit discomfort and consequently like all forms of cosmetic tattooing if performed correctly the procedure causes minimal discomfort. Microblading technique involves drawing individual, crisp hair strokes that can be very natural looking but nonetheless Microblading is still a form of cosmetic tattooing.

The Microblading process looks more natural than any other technique.  Each clients eyebrow is uniquely designed to as close as the natural eyebrow as possible.  Even clients who have Alopecia can have a beautifully fine eyebrow designed using the brow bone as a natural guide to create the eyebrow in place where he hair once was.  Microblading is a permanent tattoo seeing as how the pigment is deposited into the upper layers of the skins dermis, but deep enough to make the pigment last. The micro bladed tattoo, the same as all other tattoos, will fade. In order to keep the colour crisp, a touch-up service is required up to every 1-2 years depending on the individual's skin and how well it holds the pigment. The needles used come in a variety of diameters so that the thickness of each individual hair stroke can be customised.
