What Are Ombré Brow Tattoo?

Trends in semi-permanent eyebrows: The Ombré Technique

Inspired by the ombre hair trend, ombré brows (or ombré eyebrows) have become a huge trend in semi-permanent makeup for eyebrows. It's a method that gives you the appearance of filled-in, shaded brows with a unique twist: the ombré effect.

The French term for "shaded" is where the word "ombré" gets its name. It starts with a softer color inside the brows and gets darker and bolder as you proceed through the arch. The finished brow is diffuse and soft at the edges, and it has a very natural, powdered appearance. It's an effective way to give brows that definition and depth look.

It's difficult to get the ideal brows every morning. Many of us simply don't have the time necessary to apply the ideal quantity of plucking, color, and shape, much alone to have them as symmetrical as possible.

Thanks to semi-permanent eyebrows, technology has changed the game.

How Much Does Ombré Brow Tattoo Cost?

Semi-Permanent brow tattoos cost will vary depending on the area. In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $250-$1000 for quality brow tattoo. However, it’s important to keep in mind that this is an investment.

Because the artist’s training requires them to use special skills and is a permanent beauty procedure, it can be pricey. Your artist will use the best products, tools, and technique to ensure a result that you'll love for years because their work will be on your face for the rest of your life.

There are many people who can benefit from permanent eyebrow tattoos. This includes people:

• Someone with sparse eyebrow hair or light-colored natural hair

Who Isn’t a Good Candidate for Ombre Brows?

FOR AT LEAST ONE WEEK POST-PROCEDURE OR UNTIL HEALING IS COMPLETE (WHICHEVER IS LONGER):

• Avoid vigorous exercise or excessive sweating until your brows are healed.
• At least 3x throughout the day: wash (blot) the area using a damp cotton pad. Blot more if necessary to prevent oil build-up.
• If the brows become dry / itchy, apply a sheer layer of aftercare cream to the brows with a cotton swab.
• Keep your hands clean and avoid touching the treated areas. When the area starts to flake, leave it. DO NOT PICK, PEEL, OR PULL ON THE SKIN OR TREATED AREA.
• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds.
• Avoid exposing the area to excessive moisture or humidity, such as: facials, swimming in chlorine pools or recreational bodies of water, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and steamy showers.
• No lotions, ointments, or makeup on the treated area until completely healed.
• Avoid harsh soaps and chemicals (including skin cleansers, makeup removers, alpha hydroxyl creams, and tooth whitening toothpaste) near the treated area until healed. Mild soap like Cetaphil can be used gently over the area if needed.
