The Pros and Cons of Microblading

Microblading, sometimes referred to as tattooing through micro-tears, is an interesting tattooing method in which an electronic, semi-permanent tattooing tool is used to apply a semi-permanent ink to the skin through small, tiny, tear-sized needles

The Pros and Cons of Microblading

The concept of microblading dates back several years to the 1950s and was first used by a famous tattoo artist, Bruce Edwards.

Unlike most other types of tattoos, microblading involves no needles or a needle to be removed. It involves using a tiny, miniature tattooing device. This tattooing method has proven to be an effective and safe process for many, especially those that suffer from allergies and have delicate skin.

Microblading machines use small needles to inject the ink into the skin in a precise area. A small amount of ink is injected directly into the skin, which then reacts with the body's natural pigmentation, which causes the area of ink to bleed. The color changes as it flows through the body, but is always permanent. The end result is that the tattoo is permanent and will stay on forever, as long as you take care of it.

Microblading does have its drawbacks compared to a traditional tattoo, however. The biggest problem is that microblading tends to cause more pain than other types of tattoos, especially compared to traditional tattoo inks. This means that microblading can actually be slightly painful to some people.

Other than the discomfort associated with microblading, there are some disadvantages to this type of tattoo as well. The most noticeable drawback to this tattoo is that it requires repeated applications and can even be more expensive than some traditional tattoo designs. Also, due to the high number of applications, microblading can take several hours per tattoo, which can be very time consuming for busy people.

Some people choose to use a tattoo stencil to help cover up their tattoo and keep it in a natural-looking state. This tattoo stencil is applied to the tattoo with a special tattoo marker to cover over the tattoo area, giving the tattooed person a smooth, even, tattooed look. The tattoo stencil is then placed on the tattoo for about an hour, while the tattooer does the actual tattooing.

The great thing about microblading over traditional tattoo is that the tattoo is much safer and doesn't need any sort of removal after the tattoo is applied. Traditional tattoos need to be removed after several months to a year in order to get rid of them. Because the tattooed area is not in contact with your skin, the tattoo does not have to be irritated or scarred.

There are some risks involved in tattooing through microblading, however. If you are allergic to ink, you should consult your tattoo artist before starting. Take note to also be diligent in your microblading aftercare, which will seriously affect the overall outcome of your eyebrows.

Microblading does come with its advantages as well, however. First, it makes the tattoo very easy to apply. You don't have to worry about applying the tattoo onto a dirty area or onto a rough surface as traditional tattoo inks do. In addition, a stencil is easier to use with microblading.

Microblading is also more accurate than traditional tattoo inks, which means that the end result is usually more perfect in appearance. In addition, this type of tattoo is usually more durable, meaning that they last longer and don't fade.

Microblading is usually less painful to the body. Since it uses a low concentration of ink, the pain associated with traditional tattoo inks is less severe.

Microblading also comes in a variety of colors to choose from. Since it is less painful, people are not usually as worried about hurting themselves with microblading.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
