Microblading vs. Ombre Brows – Which Brow Tattoo Is Right for You?

Okay, let’s settle this once and for all: Microblading or Ombre Brows — which one’s actually right for you?

First things first: both are forms of cosmetic brow tattooing, and both are exclusively done by the Queen herself — Ira Bale. (Yes, only Ira touches those tattoo tools. She’s that good.)

Before and after transformation showcasing a blend of microblading and ombre brows for a fuller, more defined look.

What’s the Difference?

🔸 Microblading

• Uses a hand tool to create fine, hair-like strokes

• Best for dry to normal skin types

• Natural, fluffy “I was born with perfect brows” finish

• Requires more touch-ups for oily skin

🔸 Ombre Brows

• Done with a machine for a soft, powdered look

• Best for oily or combination skin

• Gives a more defined, makeup-like finish

• Lasts longer and fades beautifully

So Which One’s You?

• If you want soft and natural, Microblading is your BFF

• If you love a polished, fuller look, Ombre Brows are the one

• Can’t decide? You might be a candidate for Combo Brows (yes, both!)

P.S. All tattoos are custom-designed for your face and lifestyle. No one-size-fits-all here.
