What is Microbading?
Microblading is a meticulous tattooing process available to anyone looking for a semi-permanent solution to sparse brows. It is done with a manual handheld tool instead of a machine. A small blade is used to deposit ink throughout the brow area, in the upper layers of skin. Using their tool to draw hair-like strokes, to mimic natural hairs in your brows. The result: a natural-looking filler that lasts anywhere from one to three years.
Microblading is also known by a variety of names, such as: Embroidery, Microstroking, Feather touch and hair like strokes. It's a form of permanent makeup that provides a means to partially or fully camouflage missing eyebrow hair with the appearance of simulated hair using fine deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments. Over time the strokes can blur and fade and will need to be refreshed. After your initial procedure.
The results can last up to 2 years.
Nicole Bianca will do a touch-up at no extra cost, approx 6 weeks or so after to ensure you're happy with the color shape, and fullness of your brows!

We were happy to help out Gary Fraser in his quest to find models for his upcoming Photopolis art showing. Happy to say, the photos turned out really well, and he captured each one in raw form. No Photoshop, no fixes, just raw photos capturing a moment in time.
About Photopolis:
The Halifax Festival of Photography is a citywide celebration of photography that takes place in Halifax, Nova Scotia, every three years. They are a volunteer-run, non-profit, community-based arts organization. They invite photo-based artists, curators, galleries and alternative exhibition spaces to showcase photography work anytime during the entire month of October. October 2017 was their latest festival.
Established in 1998, the Photopolis Society works collaboratively with photographers, photo-based artists and groups, from local to international and emerging to established, along with participating venues such as galleries, community organizations and coffee shops, to present photography to the public for an entire month of enjoyment. Photopolis aims to feature a wide variety of photography during the festival, including photojournalism, social and travel documentary, environmental, conceptual, formalism, staged photography and more. The Photopolis festival provides a unique opportunity to engage with different approaches photographers and photo-based artists take to explore and examine diverse realities, broadening our insights and perspectives.
The last festival, in 2014, featured 35 photography exhibitions, over 40 events (exhibit openings, artist talks, workshops, film screenings) and a photography symposium!
