Ombre brows over old tattoos

Ombre powder brows and microblading over old tattoos

In general, and in most cases, Microblading cannot be done over the old tattoos while, Powder Ombre Brows can be done over the old tattoos with some limitations.
One of the most frequently asked questions about the Ombre Powder Brows and Microblading is if I can get these services over my old tattoos. Many women have done their old tattoos a few years ago or even less than a year and due to various reasons, they want to get a new and fresh one with skipping the laser and removal costs.

What services are counted as old tattoos?

When we are talking about old tattoos, no matter if you have already got Microblading treatment, ombre brows or eyebrows shading. All of them are counted as old tattoos.

 

Microblading as old tattoos: 

Most people in this group, have got microblading not a long time ago, but due to lack of proficiency and because of deep work of the initial treatment, their microblading has turned to a shade now similar to faded eyebrows shading.

Ombre Powder brows as old tattoos:

This group of people is divided into two subcategories:

  1. People who got the treatment a few years ago now want to have a new and fresh look.
  2. People who have got ombre brow but due to a botched work such as wrong outlining, they want to correct it.

Eyebrows shading as old tattoos: 

This group is the same as powder brows and is divided into two subcategories:

  1. Women who have old shading and want to renew it
  2. Women who want to correct the shape of their eyebrows

Microblading over old tattoos:

Microblading is a technique that is based on creating hair strokes and resembling them. So, when there are old tattoos on the skin it is extremely difficult to create natural lines that cover the old tattoos and give you a natural look. In most cases, the old tattoos could be recognized on the eyebrow after the microblading.
In general, if the previous old tattoos are not deep and almost gone, and you want to use a darker colour for your new microblading, it could be possible to do it over your old tattoos, however, this is a decision that an artist makes and (s)he might accept or reject working on your old tattoos depending on their ideas.

Powder Ombre Brows over old tattoos:

Ombre brows are a new kind of shading with a soft and powdery shape at the crown and top part of the eyebrows and in most cases are done with brighter colours than old shading. This technique could be used over the old tattoos in most cases with two limitations:

  1. The new colour of eyebrows should be equal to or darker than the old tattoos and because most of the old ones are light grey, we can say light brown to dark brown can be used over the old tattoos. It should be noted that colours like blond and very light ones, cannot be used.
  2. The new shape of the eyebrows should be equal to or greater than the old tattoos. You cannot ask your artist to outline smaller eyebrows than the previous ones.

Notice: In all cases, the artists should select the colour based on their knowledge and experience. In some cases, cold colour is needed while in others a warm colour. The colour selection depends on skin colour, old tattoo colour and the artist’s point of view for using neutralizer and colorizer.

Eyebrows shading over old tattoos:

Eyebrow shading has the most possibility to be worked over the old tattoos because it gives you a uniform shape and colour and has fewer limitations in comparison with the other techniques. It just should have an equal to or darker colour than the current old tattoos and have an outline the same as previous ones. In addition, due to the deeper penetration of the needle in this technique, some lighter colours could also be used over the old tattoos.

How can I remove my old tattoos?

1- Laser Removal

A laser is a non-destructive way to break down the ink particles into finer particles using a high-energy electrical current or light. A laser is the best way to remove your old tattoos and several sessions are needed to remove them completely. Depending on the depth of pigments and old tattoos, the number of required sessions is different and could be between 2 to 6 or even more sessions. The laser technician will determine the number of your sessions.

2- Saline solutions (Salted water or other solutions)

In this technique, the ink tried to be taken out by a machine and salted water and is mostly used for permanent makeup. It works well for fresh and continuous tattoos. In general, it is not an appropriate way to remove the entire old tattoos and is mostly used for a tiny area.

Conclusion of new ombre brows and microblading over old tattoos or old microblading:

All in all, depending on the condition of your old tattoo, the new one might be worked over that. It depends on the artist and it is essential to tell them about your old tattoos if you have any. Some artists do not accept new clientele with old tattoos because the result will not be as fresh as they want and they ask you to remove your old tattoos and come back again while others try to clarify the circumstances and give you the best solution based on your current tattoos.
