Eyebrow Tattoo Pros and Cons – What You Need to Know Before Booking
Eyebrow tattoos (also called cosmetic tattooing or PMU brows) have become a go-to solution for those who want fuller, defined brows without the daily hassle of makeup.
But are they right for you? Here’s a clear breakdown of the real pros and cons, based on years of client feedback and hands-on experience at Jan Beauty Brows in Newcastle.
🌟 The Pros of Eyebrow Tattooing
1. Saves Time Every Morning
No more filling in your brows with pencil or powder. Wake up with beautifully shaped, symmetrical brows that stay put — even through gym, rain, or swimming.
2. Long-Lasting Results
Depending on the technique, most eyebrow tattoos last between 1.5 to 3 years, with annual touch-ups keeping them fresh. That’s hundreds of hours saved on daily brow makeup!
3. Customised Shape & Colour
At Jan Beauty Brows, every set of brows is mapped to your face shape, bone structure, and skin tone — so your results look natural, balanced, and never “stamped-on.”
4. Confidence Boost
Many clients say this is one of the most empowering beauty decisions they’ve made. You’ll always look polished — even without makeup.
5. Ideal for Hair Loss or Sparse Brows
Eyebrow tattooing is especially helpful for those with:
Naturally thin brows
Patchy growth from over-plucking
Hair loss from age or medical conditions
⚠️ The Cons of Eyebrow Tattooing
1. It’s a Tattoo — It Breaks the Skin
Yes, this is a real tattoo (although much gentler than traditional body tattoos). That means there's minor discomfort, healing time, and the need for proper hygiene.
🔔 At Jan Beauty Brows, we use gentle machine techniques and numbing cream to keep you comfortable.
2. Healing Takes Time
Brows typically go through a 7–10 day healing process. You may experience:
Slight redness
Flaking or scabbing
Temporary fading before the colour settles
Touch-up is required after 6–8 weeks to perfect the results.
3. Colour Will Fade
All tattoos fade over time — especially with sun exposure, oily skin, or certain skincare ingredients. Maintenance is part of the journey.
✅ Good aftercare and annual refreshes will keep your brows looking crisp.
4. Not One-Size-Fits-All
If you go to the wrong technician, you might end up with:
The wrong brow shape
Pigment that heals too cool or too warm
Brows that don’t suit your face
🧠 Always choose an experienced artist who prioritises mapping, pigment selection, and healed results — not just fresh photos.
