What I’ve noticed in my career is that often times, clients will come in to see me, not really having an idea of what they want or what to ask for. If and when I ever have clients that are scared/anxious/nervous, it is typically because they’re not sure what they want.  All they know is that they want their eyebrows done and they default to going to a “microblading artist” because there is this misconception that brow tattooing only means microblading.

This resulted in me not only losing money, but most importantly, I lost a lot of time. My microblading business is my only job &a ..read more

Although the techniques & tools used in Microblading/Ombre Brows differ from that of a traditional tattoo, the common ground at the end of the day is that ink is being implanted into the skin.
