Permanent eyebrows (also called cosmetic tattooing, microblading, ombré powder, nano, or combo brows) are a semi-permanent procedure where pigment is implanted into the skin to create natural-looking, fuller, and more defined brows.

They typically last 1–3 years, depending on the technique, your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for them. A touch-up every 12–18 months keeps them looking fresh.

A numbing cream is applied before and during the procedure to keep you comfortable. Most clients describe it as a light scratching feeling rather than painful. Make sure to follow pre-care instructions and avoid getting any permanent makeup services around your period as this will make it more sensitive.

Healing usually takes 7–14 days for the surface, with full healing around 6-8 weeks. Brows may look darker at first, then scab, flake, fade, and finally soften into their healed shade.

Microblading/Nano: Hair-like strokes for a natural look (best for all skin type).

Powder/Ombré: A soft makeup look that’s long-lasting (great for oily or sensitive skin).

Combo: A blend of strokes and shading for a defined yet natural brow.

Yes—when performed by a trained, licensed artist using sterile tools and high-quality pigments. As with any tattoo, following aftercare instructions is key to safe healing.

Permanent makeup may not be recommended if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, prone to keloids, on certain medications (like blood thinners), or have certain skin conditions. A consultation will help determine if it’s safe for you.

Yes. If adjustments are needed, brows can often be corrected with additional sessions, or lightened with laser or saline removal methods.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners 24 hours before your session. Stop retinol/chemical exfoliants 2 weeks prior, and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

Pricing varies based on the artist’s experience and technique. At Adouré Ink, your brow investment includes mapping, the initial session, and a touch-up to ensure your brows heal perfectly.
