The main difference lies in the tools and techniques used. The blade method involves attaching a blade to a handle and gently incising the skin. On the other hand, the machine method utilizes a handheld device with a needle to deposit ink into the skin. Both techniques have their own advantages.
In the blade method, for example, if a client has evenly distributed eyebrow hair density from the start to the end but only wants to enhance the shape without adding extra density, we would recommend the blade technique. Fine strokes are incorporated into the existing eyebrow hair, creating a defined look without adding significant color intensity. For clients who have sparse eyebrow hair at the front and tail and desire well-defined brows while maintaining a natural appearance, the machine method is employed.
This technique involves using the machine with a needle to create individual hair-like strokes. It’s important to note that the selection of technique depends on the client’s specific needs and preferences. An experienced eyebrow tattoo artist can provide guidance and recommend the most suitable method for each individual.
