While tattoos themselves have waxed and waned in their popularity, the use of them for facial cosmetic purposes didn't really begin to take off in the West until the 1980s:
Author:Lauren HubbardPublish date:Jun 9, 2017Let me paint you a word picture: You're sitting at a restaurant with an Older Relative doing the mental math of how much you can reasonably drink without A) saying something you regret or B) getting told you drink too much. A server comes over to take your order, smiling politely, the edges of a tattoo partially hidden behind the collar of her shirt. You mentally add one additional drink to your equation — you're probably going to need it.
While it's impossible to say for sure how long permanent body art in general has been around it has a long and varied history of use across the globe. For women of the West, the love affair began in the 19th century, when body art became a fashion statement among the socialite set. Throughout the '80s, '90s and early '00s, permanent makeup remained very much a tattoo-like process. It was largely applied using the same tools and inks that were used on the rest of the body, generally performed in standard tattoo parlors, or in some cases hospital- or home-visits. Though some artists were able to achieve light, natural looking results, most of us associate permanent makeup from this era with harsh colors and fuzzy-edged lines for a reason.
"Microblading is different than traditional eyebrow tattooing in that is it done using iron oxide-based pigments that is implanted more superficially in the skin, which makes it semi-permanent," says permanent makeup artist Bethany Wolosky of the more modern practice. These pigments are thicker and are said to give a softer, more powdery finish that looks more like actual makeup.
Indeed, while brows may have captured the internet's collective attention, they're far from the only option being treated by permanent and semi-permanent pigments. Several artists have made names for themselves by covering up stretch marks, filling in sparse hairlines or helping burn victims and cancer survivors reclaim their bodies with corrective shading.
