How to Choose the Right Brow Tattoo Method Without Losing Sleep

Thinking about a brow tattoo but feel like you’ve wandered into a maze of Microblading vs Ombre vs Combo vs “Wait, what even is that?” Totally normal. But don’t worry — we’re here to decode it all.

Here’s your no-stress guide to choosing the right brow tattoo method with Ira Bale.

Enhance your look with beautifully crafted combo brows by Ira Bale, featuring a blend of Microblading and Ombre techniques for a natural yet defined appearance.

1. Microblading – The Hair-Stroke Hero

• Best for: dry to normal skin

• Creates fine, hair-like strokes for a natural, feathered finish

• Perfect if: you love the no-makeup makeup vibe

• Longevity: 12–18 months

2. Ombre Brows – The Soft Shaded Star

• Best for: oily, combo, or mature skin

• Creates a powdery, filled-in effect (like perfectly blended brow pencil)

• Perfect if: you love definition or wear makeup often.

• Longevity: 1.5–3 years

3. Combo Brows – Best of Both Worlds

• Best for: anyone wanting texture and structure

• Creates natural strokes + soft shading in one tattoo

• Perfect if: you want volume + polish

• Longevity: 2+ years

Not Sure?

That’s why we strongly recommend a consultation session. Ira personally maps your face, checks your skin type, listens to your goals — and makes sure you walk out with the right brows, not just the trendy ones.
