CIRCADIA

Ombre eyebrow tattooing is a semi-permanent makeup technique that creates soft, natural-looking brows with a gradient effect. Using a fine needle, pigment is applied to the brow area, starting lighter at the front and gradually darkening toward the tail, creating the “ombre” effect. This technique mimics the look of powdered brows and is ideal for clients seeking defined, yet soft eyebrows that don’t appear too harsh.

The results typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. For best results, it’s recommended to have a touch-up session every 12-18 months to maintain the shape, color, and intensity of your brows.

Everyone has different pain thresholds, but the procedure is generally well tolerated. I do not apply numbing cream because it can restrict pigment retention and affect the quality of the tattoo. However, most clients experience only mild discomfort, and any irritation or swelling usually subsides within a few hours after the procedure.

The procedure generally takes about 2 to 2.5 hours. This includes the consultation, mapping, and actual tattooing process. The time required may vary depending on the complexity of the design and shape you choose for your brows.

It is important to avoid waxing, threading, or tinting your eyebrows 1-2 weeks before your appointment. Please also refrain from using any blood-thinning medications or alcohol the day before the procedure to minimize swelling and bleeding during the treatment.

After the procedure, your brows may appear darker and more defined than expected. This is normal, as the pigment will fade by 30-40% over the next few weeks. Your brows may also scab and peel as they heal, but this is part of the natural process. Full healing typically takes 6-8 weeks, at which point you’ll be ready for any necessary touch-ups.

After your treatment, keep your brows clean and dry for the first 7-10 days. Avoid makeup, excessive sweating, and sun exposure to prevent infection and ensure the best pigment retention. I’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to guide you through the healing process.

Yes, ombre eyebrow tattooing is suitable for all skin types, including oily and dry skin. However, clients with certain skin conditions or active acne near the brow area may need to consult with me beforehand to determine if the procedure is right for them.
