💭 Thinking About Eyebrow Tattooing?

Microblading vs PMU hair stroke Birmingham UK, If you’re considering permanent makeup for your brows, you’ve probably come across both Microblading and Machine Hair Stroke techniques. But what’s the difference — and which one is right for you?

Let’s break it down in a way that’s easy to understand.




✒️ What is Microblading?

Microblading uses a manual hand tool with fine blades to create realistic-looking hair strokes. It cuts small lines into the skin and implants pigment into them.

Best for:

  • Younger, normal-to-dry skin

  • People with already defined brow shape

  • Those looking for ultra-natural strokes

Things to consider:

  • Fades faster on oily or mature skin

  • Can blur over time if skin isn’t suitable




🖌️ What is Machine Hair Stroke?

Also called Nano Brows or Digital Hair Stroke, this technique uses a PMU machine with a fine needle to create delicate, layered strokes that mimic natural brow hair — without cutting the skin like Microblading.

Best for:

  • All skin types (especially oily or mature skin)

  • Clients with thin or patchy brows

  • People who want longer-lasting, gentle results

Why I Love It: At Ease's Aesthetics, I specialise in machine-based techniques because they offer precision, less trauma, and longer-lasting results for most skin types.
