Microblading eyeliner
All microblades are sharp. Some are sharper than others. A flexile microblade is bound with a vinyl covering creating “give” when working on skin. It is important that flexible blades are used by new artists and by artists who are working carefully on skin to implant pigment at the “sweet spot” – the DE (dermal-epidermal junction). Microblades are individual needles clustered together in a line which either end in a sloped shape or a curved (rounded) end. Which one to use is often the artist’s preference. However, the curved bladed has no sharp point on it, so for learning artists, it is often a good one to become comfortable with it initially. The individual needles the blade is comprised of will have different gauges. The smaller the gauge of the individual needles, the sharper the overall “blade”. A microblade is, in fact, not a blade at all.
All artists must understand how to read microblade descriptions. Every individual microblade is sterile packed and made of surgical grade stainless steel. Each package has a lot number and expiry date. These must be opened in front of the customer and the paper backing should be stapled to your client’s file, forms, or comment card. Furthermore, since microblades are most often delivered to an artist from an on-line order, it is absolutely critical that they are inspected carefully under a strong light and a magnifier to determine if any imperfections exist. Even the slightest imperfection can harm the skin.
