Can Tattoo Artists Do Microblading?

Microblading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at December 25th, 2022

So, can tattoo artists do microblading? Short answer: there are better choices than tattoo artists for microblading procedures. If you want your brows microbladed, we encourage you to visit a professional brow artist at a specialized brow salon instead, and here are a few reasons why!

What is a Tattoo Artist?

Tattoo artists are professionals who create art using human skin as canvases. They are usually found in tattoo parlors, where clients go to have a variety of designs permanently applied to their skin. Most areas in the United States require licensure for practicing tattoo artists. That said, tattoo artists with formal education in their craft are a minority. Rather than attending school, they typically learn and practice the art of tattooing through apprenticeship under an established tattoo artist. Throughout this process, they will develop their own tattoo style and gain the experience and connections needed to work on clients and make a living with their art.

What is a Brow Artist?

Brow artists are a specific type of aesthetician or beauty professional specializing in shaping and coloring eyebrows. They are found in beauty or brow salons, where clients use semi-permanent services such as eyebrow hair removal, tinting, and microblading. Like professional tattoo artists, practicing brow artists in many states are legally required to have formal education and training in beauty and brow design. If this is optional in your area, you will probably benefit from searching specifically for certified and licensed brow professionals and salons. After all, your brows are a major part of your appearance and are not worth risking with non-professionals! You want to be confident in the quality of any long-lasting services they receive. It's really important to select a brow specialist that understands the shape of your face, your brow goals, and how to achieve your goals. Brow artists are trained to understand the nature, texture, shape, and hair growth of brows. They will know the best pigments to use along with the best blades to use to match your current hair. Brows are all they do!

Can Tattoo Artists Do Microblading?

Microblading is a tattoo-like procedure, but it is also a cosmetic procedure. While tattoo artists can technically perform the service for their clients, they may or may not be familiar with the art of makeup application and brow shaping; this is comparable to expecting a regular makeup artist to have experience with the tools and techniques involved in semi-permanent tattoo applications.

Professional tattoo artists are highly skilled in their craft but do not specialize in microblading. The best place for a microblading procedure is a microblading salon like Chic Lash Boutique! The best person for the job is a qualified brow artist. Click the link to book your microblading appointment today!
