Question 1

What is nanoblading?

Accepted Answer

Nanoblading, is a semi-permanent, cosmetic tattoo treatment for eyebrows that uses a combination of ultra-fine nano needles and pigment to mimic the diameter and dimension of a real hair stroke in the skin.

Question 2

What’s the difference between nanoblading and microblading?

Accepted Answer

Despite the name, neither nanoblading nor microblading uses a blade. Both use needles to penetrate the skin, but nanoblading involves thinner needles to create the finest hair strokes with the least amount of skin trauma.    Nanoblading uses a digital machine to implant pigment rather than manually cutting into the skin’s dermis layer. It has minimal to no bleeding, faster healing time, minimal scabbing, longer lasting results, and is suitable for all skin types.    Nanoblading also provides an ultra-realistic effect by creating the illusion of texture, depth and movement. Soft shading can also easily be layered to mimic density, creating the illusion of fuller brows; a result that cannot be achieved or replicated by microblading.   Nano is the newest technology in the permanent makeup industry, and therefore obtains cleaner, precise results, through gentle application.

Does nanoblading hurt?

Please keep in mind, if you are on your menstrual cycle, you may be more sensitive to pain.

Fine line tattoos are just as permanent as traditional tattooing. However, they tend to age better and last longer without any blurring thanks to the intricacy of the needlework involved.

Question 16

Why try fine line tattooing at Lovely Canvas?

Accepted Answer

The precision involved in the artistic style involved with this tattoo lies not only with the artist, but also the tools used to achieve a masterful result. Thin lines and accompanying details require tattoo artists to use a single needle. This allows for enhanced precision and space for details when it comes to the tattooing process.   Fine line tattooing requires a very steady and accurate hand. Unfamiliar artists might be hesitant because this type of tattoo leaves little room for error.
