THE PATTERN BOOK · EIGHT COURSES

Eyebrow Tattoo & Microblading Courses

cut to measure

Every brow technique is its own pattern. Hair strokes by hand or machine, soft powder, graded ombre, strokes and shade combined, and advanced refinement for working artists. Compare all eight below, then choose the one that suits your hand and your goals.

I — THE PATTERNS · A FIELD GUIDE TO BROW TECHNIQUE

Eight patterns

one precise discipline

Our courses fall into three families. Hair-stroke work (microblading, feathering and nano brows) builds individual lines that imitate natural hair. Shading work (powder and ombre brows) lays down soft density. Combination brows join the two, and advanced training sharpens all of them for artists who already tattoo brows. The Eyebrow Tattoo Course comes first, because it is where the groundwork for every other pattern begins.

PIECE 01 — FOUNDATION

Eyebrow Tattoo Course

The groundwork of cosmetic brow tattooing: reading the face, mapping the shape and understanding how pigment sits in skin. Choose this if you are starting out and want the principles before you specialise.

PIECE 02 — HAIR STROKE

Microblading Course

Hand-tool hair strokes, placed one by one. It suits artists who like direct control and want to learn stroke direction, depth and spacing through the hand itself.

PIECE 03 — HAIR STROKE

Feathering Course

Feathered, hair-stroke-style brows with a soft, natural texture. The focus is on building layered strokes that blend into the existing brow rather than sit on top of it.

PIECE 04 — HAIR STROKE

Nano Brows Course

Machine-made hair strokes, drawn with a fine needle. Choose it if you want crisp, consistent strokes and to learn machine handling alongside stroke design.

PIECE 05 — SHADE

Powder Brows Course

Soft, powder-shaded brows with an even, made-up finish. This course is about building density gradually and controlling how saturated the colour becomes.

PIECE 06 — SHADE

Ombre Brows Course

Gradient shading that starts light at the front of the brow and deepens towards the tail. You learn to plan the fade so the brow reads as defined but never blocky.

PIECE 07 — COMBINATION

Combination Brows Course

Hair strokes and shading in a single design. It suits artists who want to offer texture at the front of the brow and structure through the body and tail.

PIECE 08 — ADVANCED

Advanced Eyebrow Tattoo Training

For artists who already work on brows and want to take their skills further. The focus is on refining design, consistency and judgement across more demanding clients.

II — MEASURE

Measure

before you mark

Whichever pattern you choose, every brow starts in the same place: measurement. Before any stroke or shade, the artist finds where the brow should begin, arch and end on this particular face.

Brow mapping turns a matter of taste into something that can be checked. It gives symmetry a reference, gives the client a shape to approve, and gives the tattoo a plan to follow.

Read Brow Mapping: Measure Before You Mark, then see how mapping sits at the centre of the Eyebrow Tattoo Course.

III — CHOOSE YOUR CUT

Choose your cut

start from where you are
Still weighing your options? Choosing a Cosmetic Tattoo Course sets out what to compare, and the course FAQ covers common questions.

If you are new to brows…

Begin with the Eyebrow Tattoo Course. Mapping, skin and pigment principles carry into every later pattern. For the wider path, read How to Become a Cosmetic Tattoo Artist.

If you want natural hair strokes…

Choose between the hand tool in the Microblading Course, the soft texture of the Feathering Course and the machine precision of the Nano Brows Course.

If you prefer soft shading…

Look at the Powder Brows Course for an even finish, or the Ombre Brows Course for a front-to-tail gradient. Powder & Ombre Brows: Shading Techniques Compared sets the two side by side.

If you are already stroke- or shade-trained…

Add the other half with the Combination Brows Course, or refine what you already do with Advanced Eyebrow Tattoo Training. See who teaches each pattern on Our Trainers.
