Microblading vs. Nano Brows—Two Techniques for Natural-Looking Brows

Nov 3

You might be familiar with microblading and the machine nano method if you're hoping to achieve thicker brows that look completely natural. Both techniques are well-liked by those who want their brow tattoos to look like genuine hair. So, how are they different, and how can you choose the right one?

Microblading uses a handheld tool with a row of tiny needles to create shallow, precise strokes on the skin. This technique mimics the look of natural eyebrow hair by scratching pigment onto the skin. As oily skin can affect microblading, it is best for clients with normal or dry skin. Results can last from one to two years with proper care and regular touch-ups.

Nano brows, or nano tattooing, is a newer method using a fine single-needle machine to implant pigment in hair-like strokes. The machine nano technique tends to last a bit longer than microblading and works well on all skin types, including oily skin. Nano brows create ultra-fine strokes that blend seamlessly, achieving a soft, natural look.

Both microblading eyebrows and nano machine hair stroke techniques offer a solution for natural-looking, hair-like brows but differ in tools and application. Choosing between the two often depends on skin type, desired look, and personal preference. A consultation with us at Beauty Tattooist can help you decide the best option for you!
