Devil in the Details

Devil in the Details is an Atlanta cosmetic tattooing business offering microblading, powder brows, a combination of microblading and shading, and lip blushing. Brow waxing, shaping and tinting are also available. Their site explains that clients with very oily skin or little natural brow hair may be better suited to the combination or powder technique than to hair strokes alone.

Brow shape and pigment color are decided together at the start of the appointment, and measurements are taken for symmetry. For lip blushing, the artist custom mixes pigment after a consultation, and clients are invited to bring a favorite lipstick as a reference. A touch-up is included with the initial service (6 to 10 weeks later for brows, 6 to 12 weeks later for lips), and the site says each new procedure needs at least two visits. According to the studio, a topical numbing cream containing 5% lidocaine is used. Their site states that microblading results last around 3 to 5 years on average and lip blushing lasts 2 to 5 years, while noting that final results cannot be guaranteed. Appointments can be booked through the website.
