What’s the Difference Between Microblading and Nano Hairstroke Brows?

If you’ve been researching eyebrow tattoo options in Brisbane, chances are you’ve come across both Microblading and Nano Brows (also called Nano Hairstroke Tattooing). While they both create the appearance of natural brow hairs, there are some key differences. At JT Artistry, based in Carindale, we specialise in both techniques and help you choose the best one for your skin type, lifestyle, and desired result.

 

 

Microblading is not offered at JT artistry anymore but is a more traditional, manual technique that uses a small handheld blade to make fine incisions in the skin, where pigment is then implanted. It’s designed to give a soft, feathered look that mimics natural hairs.

 

Best for:

 • Normal to dry skin

 

 Keep in mind: Microblading may not last as long on oily skin and can blur or fade unevenly over time.

 

 

Nano Brows have taken over! They are created using a digital tattoo machine with a fine needle to implant pigment into the skin with incredible precision. This technique is considered more advanced and skin-friendly.

 

Benefits of Nano Tattooing:

 • Suitable for all skin types, including oily or mature skin

 • Longer-lasting results

 • Less trauma to the skin

 • Crisper healed strokes

 

It’s essentially an upgraded, more refined version of Microblading, with better pigment retention and a gentler approach—perfect for our warm Brisbane climate.

 

 

At JT Artistry, we usually recommend Nano Brows for their longevity, versatility, and beautiful, natural-looking healed results.
