Do you shave the eyebrows before tattooing them on?
No, we never use shaving as a hair removal method for your eyebrows and we prefer to remove as little hair as possible, especially if there isn’t much hair already present.

Shaping and coloring the brow is an art form, and can make a dramatic difference in the shape your eye or even making your whole face and demeanor look more youthful. Some techniques to shape the brow include tweezing, waxing or threading to remove unwanted hair. Once you have the basic shape, you can use a little color to fill in gaps, or just make the brow appear a bit more full.
Start with combing the hairs upward and trim any long hairs. Then comb downward, and trim any remaining long hairs. To determine where the brows should begin, look at where the inner corner of the eye begins and use that as a guide. If your eyes are close-set, make the space between the brows a little wider. If your eyes are wide-set, keep the brows a little closer together. To determine where the highest point of the arch should be, hold a straight edge from the edge of your nostril on a diagonal past the outer edge of the eye’s iris and on to the eyebrow. To determine where the brow should end, hold the straight edge from the edge of your nostril on a diagonal past the outer corner of the eye and on to the eyebrow. Aim for a smoothly arched brow that tapers at the outer ends. If you makeup is needed, use an eyebrow pencil or brow powder in a color that is a shade lighter than your natural brow hair. For a natural look, use short, light strokes instead of a single, solid line.

Removing strays successfully to prevent ingrown hair requires a good tweezer (a small, simple square tipped pair is all you need) and proper technique. Just grasp the hair with your dominant hand by placely the tweezers squarely on the skin surface. Then pull firmly but gently in order to remove the hair with the bulb intact.
Aggressively yanking hairs can damage the follicle so that it’s no longer in alignment with the direction of hair growth. This is how permanently ingrown hairs are created, and sometimes either a painful cyst or nodule forms each time a new hair tries to push out of the follicle.
