What is a Combination Eyebrow Tattoo

Benefits of Combination Eyebrow Tattoo

  • Natural Appearance: Combo brows mimic natural eyebrow hair and skin shadows, creating a more realistic, natural-looking brow.
  • Fullness & Definition: They provide a fuller eyebrow appearance than microblading, offering enhanced depth and dimension. Those dream brows you’ve always wanted can become a reality, resulting in perfect brows every day.
  • Durability: High-quality pigments ensure that the tattoo lasts longer than traditional microblading, offering a range of 1-2 years.
  • Suitable for Various Skin Types: Especially beneficial for those with oily skin, where microblading alone might not endure as long.

Techniques Used in Combination Eyebrow Tattooing, The world of eyebrow tattooing courses offer various methods, among which the two most prominent ones used in combination brows are:

  • Microblading: Uses a manual handheld tool to create fine, hair-like strokes that mimic natural brow hairs.
  • Shading: Implemented with either a manual tool or a tattoo machine to infuse pigment in a stippling method, resulting in a soft, powdery finish, giving a light-to-dark gradient.

How Are Combo Eyebrows Created? Creating beautiful eyebrows using the combo technique begins with outlining the desired brow shape. After applying numbing cream for comfort, the technician uses microblading to produce hair-like strokes following the natural hair growth pattern. After the microblading is complete, shading is added to fill in sparse or asymmetrical eyebrows and create a gradient effect, ensuring balanced and harmonious eyebrows.
