We specialize in modern permanent makeup techniques that compliment your personal beauty and individuality, and achieve the most natural, multidimensional results with cosmetic tattooing: Nano Brows, Microblading, Ombre and Powder Brows
NANO BROWS
Nano Brows are the most advanced and hyper-realistic form of brow enhancement available today. This technique uses an ultra-fine, machine-implanted needle to create soft, delicate hairstrokes that mimic the look of real brow hairs with stunning precision. Nano Brows are ideal for most skin types, including those with thinner, more sensitive, or mature skin. If you're looking for the softest, most natural-looking results, this technique delivers a refined and long-lasting result with minimal trauma to the skin.
MICROBLADING
Microblading is a manual technique that creates realistic, hand-placed hairstrokes to subtly enhance the shape and fullness of the eyebrows. Using a fine blade, pigment is gently implanted into the upper layers of the skin to mimic the appearance of natural brow hair. This technique is best suited for normal to dry skin types with smaller pores and smooth texture. While still widely practiced, it’s important to know that microblading may not be ideal for oily or sensitive skin, as results can blur or fade more quickly over time.
POWDER BROWS
Ombre or Powder Brows are a soft, shaded enhancement that resembles the look of makeup—giving the brows a more defined, fuller appearance. This technique uses a gentle layering of pigment to create a gradient effect, from lighter at the front to deeper in the tail of the brow. Powder brows are highly customizable, ranging from airy and light to bold and polished, depending on your preferences. This option is especially ideal for clients with mature, sensitive, or textured skin types, and those who love a more filled-in look.
COMBINATION BROWS
Combination Brows offer the best of both worlds: crisp, hair-like strokes in the front of the brow paired with gentle shading throughout the body and tail for added fullness and depth. This hybrid technique blends the realism of microblading or nano hairstrokes with the soft definition of shading, resulting in a beautifully balanced and dimensional brow. Combination Brows are versatile and can be adapted for many skin types, making them an excellent choice for those who want a natural look with just a touch more structure and density.
Every appointment at Victory Ink begins with a thorough consultation when you arrive. This is a very personal service, so we take time to listen to your preferences and to thoroughly evaluate your skin and history to determine which brow technique is most appropriate for you. Our goal is a beautiful, long term result. At Victory, you are part of the entire process. We are a team!
Brows are a 2 step process: the initial appointment and a retouch appointment 2-3 months later. The retouch visit is not optional; this important step completes, enhances, and prolongs your results. To best plan for your appointments, please read the following service details thoroughly.
WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT?
- Permanent Makeup / Cosmetic Tattoos are not recommended for those undergoing chemotherapy, radiation or immunotherapy treatment, those on prednisone, steroids, or blood thinners, for women who are pregnant or nursing, or those with MRSA, blood borne or contagious illness, lupus, or who have a history of facial shingles. Tattoos should be avoided within 2 weeks of any vaccination or surgical procedure. (**Clients with anemia, diabetes, rosacea, psoriasis, or previous cancer history MUST bring a dr. note to the appt authorizing procedure.**)
- PMU procedures are strictly prohibited if accutane/isotretinoin has been used within 1 year. We must also avoid doxycycline antibiotics or oral steroids within 3 months of service. Schedule facials 30 days before or 60 days after, and any Botox 30 days before or 2 weeks after. To avoid serious complications, NO growth serums on the brows (including castor oil) for 3 months before your service. Please book accordingly.
- Please avoid the following for 30 days prior to AND after your appointment: direct sun or UV tanning, exfoliating acids (retinols, alpha-hydroxy acid, tretinoin or similar) above the cheekbones, no exceptions. This will have a direct impact on your comfort during the procedure and on results.
- Avoid tinting your brows, spray tanning or waxing for 2 weeks prior to your appointment. Let your brows be bushy; we will clean them up! Please come to your appointment with minimal makeup to avoid contaminating the service area. Topical anesthetics are used during the procedure for your comfort.
- Please avoid alcohol the night prior to your appointment and avoid caffeine, smoking, alcohol, fish oil, NSAIDs (aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, naproxen and similar) for 24 HOURS before your appointment unless medically necessary. These directly impact your comfort during the procedure, retention and the quality of your healed result.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT?
- Brows may look slightly pink and/or have minor swelling for a couple of days. This swelling can lead to a temporarily uneven appearance. Days 1-4 Your brow pigment will appear darker and warmer (strawberry blonde/auburn). This is a natural and TEMPORARY part of the pigment oxidization process. Days 5-14 The service area will flake a bit as your skin layers regenerate. Days 15-30 Your pigment will temporarily look muted or faded as the skin layers continue to heal. Pigment will reappear gradually from weeks 4-8.
- AVOID SWEATING for 14 days, including hot tubs/baths, saunas, tanning, and heavy exercise. Sweating during the healing period causes uneven pigment. If you like to workout, WALK to keep up the habit!
- While Permanent Makeup is a Cosmetic Tattoo process, pigment placement is shallower than a traditional body art tattoo and will heal differently. Best healed results vary by individual. Skin type, sensitivity, texture, scar tissue/sun damage, pH, metabolism, medical history etc. all play a role in your pigment retention. The better you care for your skin, the more beautiful and lasting your results will be. Permanent Makeup services are designed to soften and fade over time and will likely need a color boost around 18 months.
- To preserve and protect your investment, always avoid using bleach, lasers and exfoliants on the treatment area, and WEAR SPF to avoid UV discoloration.
