What is Microblading?
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that uses a small handheld tool made of several tiny needles to add pigment to the skin, enhancing your natural brows. See Lauren’s work below.

Microblading artists hand-draw each line to create the most realistic brow hairs for your shape. Microblading is semi-permanent. Traditional tattoo artists use a machine that leaves permanent and less natural-looking, fine lines.
