What is
Feathering?
Feathering, otherwise known as microblading, is a form of cosmetic tattooing performed on the eyebrows where pigment is deposited into the skin using speciality designed hand tools and various needle configurations from 7 to 21 aligned in a single line formation placed onto the skin and pulled back in a slicing motion, similar to cutting an avocado, to place extremely fine and crisp strokes into the skin. This is then covered with a pigment mask to soak in. This technique has been used for thousands of years dating back to the Mayan empire and can easily cause scarring when performed incorrectly making future maintenance difficult.
The various configurations of needles allows us to artistically create very very fine to fine strokes into the skin replicating different thicknesses of your eyebrow hair for a natural looking healed result. Feathered eyebrows is rarely a method used alone today, for its adverse effects, but in combination with other cosmetic tattoo methods such as a combination eyebrow or hybrid eyebrow and using soft machine shading in between each manual stroke.
