Miami Brows: Eyebrow Tattoo vs. 3d Embroidery/Hairstrokes

Eyebrow Embroidery uses small "hairstrokes" to look incredibly realistic
(hairstrokes by Christopher Drummond, Miami Brows)
Classic eyebrow tattoos are solid, dark (potentially changing color over time), and not very natural looking!

                What is 3D EYEBROW EMBROIDERY?

I get asked this all of the time.  I think there is a lot of confusion between eyebrow embroidery and traditional eyebrow tattoos (since both are called eyebrow tattoos).  So, I will try to demystify what a 3D Hairstroke/eyebrow embroidery/featherstroke tattoo is and how it differs from the "sharpie tattoo" that everyone dreads.

First,   While both traditional eyebrow tattoos and 3D Hairstrokes are technically "tattoos" there are a few MAJOR differences.  The major difference is that a traditional tattoo (the kind NOBODY wants to have---you know what I'm talking about....the ones that look like you drew them with a sharpie permanent marker...)  this tattoo goes deep into the skin, and permanently colors your flesh.  This means you will have it for 10-25 years or MORE!  
A Hairstroke tattoo (also called 3D hairstroke, eyebrow embroidery, and featherstroke) only goes into the top layers of skin.  This means it fades in only a few years.  This is why hairstrokes are called semi-permanent.  This type of tattoo is great if you are scared of committment, and don't want something that will last for the rest of your life!  If you did not get a hairstroke tattoo touched up, it would disappear fully in about 3 years.  :)

Next, Eyebrow Embroidery is considered a cosmetic procedure, while a traditional eyebrow tattoo is not.  Hairstrokes use different ink, and usually a different type of machine that what they use to apply the heavy dark solid tattoos.  It is a much more forgiving ink, that is created to work with different skin tones, and made to look like facial hair.  Traditional tattoo ink comes in very basic colors (black, brown, red, greeen, etc), whereas cosmetic ink is created for the face.....so, it looks much more natural.  Also the ingredients in cosmetic tattoo ink is more gentile, and made with organic pigments.

Finally, 3D Hairstrokes/eyebrow embroidery/featherstrokes (like the ones done here in my Miami studio at Miami Brows---sorry for the shameless plug) are typically made to be softer looking, more natural, and much less "obtrusive" than a solid tattoo.  When done correctly, hairstrokes do not look like a tattoo.  They have texture and color and depth, unlike a solid tattoo.

So, the days of the "old school" tattoo are numbered.  Look around in your area for a CERTIFIED hairstroke artist (like me!).  Do your research.  Make sure they have credentials, have been certified, and that they have a lot of pictures of their work.  There is very little regulation for eyebrow embroidery in Miami, so be sure the person knows what they are doing.  And don't look for the cheapest.  Remember, you get what you pay for, and you don't want cheap looking EYEBROWS!!!!

I hope this helped those of you looking into getting eyebrow embroidery here in Miami, or anywhere else in the US!

Hairstrokes by Christopher Drummond

Here is one example of Eyebrow Embroidery/Hairstrokes that I do at Miami Brows.  This client had thin eyebrow hair, and wanted me to help fill in the sparse brows.  
You can see the texture and how the strokes actually look like hair.  The client was thrilled with the results, and will be back in one month for her touch up.
The process took about 90 minutes from beginning to end.

Eyebrow Embroidery in Miami: What is it

In my years of performing eyebrow embroidery (also called 3D eyebrows, hairstrokes, microblading, among other things), I constantly get the same questions.  Since hairstrokes are relatively new in Miami, many people don't know what the technique is, and how it is performed

Many people think that hairstrokes are a traditional eyebrow tattoo.  This is not true.  Hairstrokes are actually created individually.  The practitioner is actually placing a semi-permanent tattoo on the surface of the skin stroke by stroke.  The result is a very realistic, natural looking and soft appearing textured look.

Hairstrokes actually look like little hairs on your skin.  It is not a block tattoo like traditional eyebrow tattoos.  I actually try not to say the word tattoo to people, since they get the image of an "old school" eyebrow tattoo.

WHAT IS EYEBROW EMBROIDERY????
by Christopher Drummond of Miami Brows
www.miamibrows.com

Many women come to me looking for help with their eyebrows.  Some have over-plucked their brows, and they never grew back, some just have sparse eyebrows, and others want to reshape and restyle the look of their brows.  Whatever the issue is, I gladly help them to become more comfortable when someone looks them in the eyes.

Most people are familiar with eyebrow tattoos, and usually wince when they hear that term.  I know I do!  After all, we have all seen bad eyebrow tattoos.....the faded colors, the changed color, the "stamped" appearance that they give.....not always the best look!

Here in Miami, I have perfected a technique called Eyebrow Embroidery.  What is that?  How does it work?  Is it an actual tattoo????????

Eyebrow Embroidery (also known as 3D eyebrows, Hairstrokes, featherstrokes, and many other terms) are tiny little hairs that are tattooed onto the brow area.  The result is a textured-looking, very natural looking eyebrow.  Instead of the tattoo "stamp", the brows actually look like actual hair!!

I pride myself in being a true artist and perfectionist, and I won't be happy until you are.
Here are a few before and after pictures of the 3D eyebrows I have created.
