The Hair Stroke method is considered one of the most natural approaches to eyebrow pigmentation. Unlike older tattooing styles, this technique creates soft, realistic lines that mimic the look of actual eyebrow hairs. It has become highly popular because the results appear subtle and lifelike, making it suitable for anyone who prefers a natural finish. The process involves using a fine needle to draw individual strokes that blend seamlessly with the client’s existing brows. Under the guidance of Master Titiya, the eyebrow shape is carefully mapped to match each person’s natural brow line, ensuring balance and harmony. This method works well for both men and women and stands out from traditional eyebrow tattoos, which often appear harsh or too bold.
Before starting the Hair Stroke process, the artist will evaluate the client’s facial structure, skin tone, and natural eyebrow hairs to design brows that complement the face. The strokes are designed to be fine and as natural as possible.
The pigment used in the Hair Stroke technique is selected to closely match the client’s natural eyebrow hair color. These pigments are gentle on the skin and are unlikely to cause allergic reactions or irritation. At Akira Studio, we only use high quality pigment that get approval by EU REACH.
After the brow design is finalized, the artist uses a specially designed fine needle tool to create each hair stroke, beginning at the brow head and working toward the tail. The artist must skillfully control the hand pressure and angle to create fine, natural strokes.
Hair Stroke replicates real eyebrow hairs most effectively. The strokes are designed to flow naturally along with the client’s existing eyebrow hairs, creating a realistic look.
This technique is particularly beneficial for clients with sparse or uneven brows or missing sections, as it fills in gaps in a way that doesn’t look overdone.
Since the Hair Stroke technique deposits pigment in the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis), aftercare is relatively simple. The healing process is quicker, with minimal scabbing or swelling.
Because the pigment is not deeply embedded in the skin like traditional tattooing, future changes to the brow shape are easier to make, as the color gradually fades over time.
