Microblading is a form of tattoo artistry where pigment is implanted under the skin with a manual handheld tool instead of a machine. Hair-like strokes are drawn with a tool to mimic the natural hairs in the brows. Although microblading has been practiced for nearly 25 years, it is still considered a "newer" technique with many veteran PMU Artists placing it in a different category altogether. So is microblading REALLY permanent makeup? If not, what is it? Rose Marie Beauchemin-Verzella explains.

Tattoo removal is often more complicated, expensive and painful than the original tattoo application. On today's episode of PMU School, Jeremy Halgat shares his personal technique which minimizes both trauma to the skin and client discomfort.
