Microblading is a type of tattoo, but it’s not permanent like a true tattoo. Not only do the two use different “inks”—traditional tattoos use concentrated tattoo ink, while cosmetic tattoos use smaller pigment particles—but they’re also applied differently. With microblading, the pigment is applied superficially to your skin (so your body eventually metabolizes it until it fades away), rather than placed into your skin’s deeper layers (where it becomes permanent).
Before your microblading appointment, reach out to your studio and ask how to prepare ahead of time, as each artist can have different guidelines. Capparelli, for example, asks clients to not groom their brows for 6-8 weeks so she can do a full reshaping along with microblading. You should also stop using retinol, chemical exfoliants, and physical exfoliators at least one week before microblading, since they can make your skin extra sensitive.

Similarly, oil can make microblading fade faster, so you’ll get less time with your microbladed brows if your skin is very oily.
A yearly touchup is recommended after the initial complimentary. This will maintain the color's freshness. Natural fading can occur due to external factors, such as sun exposure, but also internal factors, such as the gradual loss of pigments by your body. Different people experience the fading process in different ways. It really boils down to skin type as well as lifestyle.

"Hair strokes are much more natural and finer that any tattoo. This is because a hand-held needle/blade is used. There is no electronic gadget that penetrates deep in this method. You will hear a more distinct scratching sound, than the buzz of an electric tattoo gun that pierces the skin deeply.

You will notice a reddish tint to your brows, which may be tender but still be quite tender. They might also feel a bit thicker than they were the day before.
