Once I began in everlasting make-up, I had a imaginative and prescient: to create pure, lovely outcomes my shoppers might really feel assured in. However like so many artists, I rapidly realized that the instruments out there weren’t making that simple! Strokes didn’t retain, pigments healed unpredictably, and my artistry usually felt restricted—not by ability, however by the instruments we needed to work with on the time.
This frustration sparked one thing in me. I wished to create instruments that really labored the way in which we wanted them to, with precision and reliability. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it surely’s been value it. Let me take you behind-the-scenes of how we’ve redefined PMU instruments to match the artistry they’re meant to assist.
From the very starting, my day-to-day work with shoppers was extra than simply crafting new brows—it was problem-solving with each consumer and each canvas. I started noticing patterns in my healed outcomes that left me puzzled: strokes that didn’t heal as anticipated and pigments fading away, regardless of my care in implanting them.
At first, I believed I simply wanted to work tougher to good my ability, however then I spotted one thing greater: the instruments have been failing us! So, I began documenting every part. Each needle, each pores and skin sort, each consumer’s therapeutic course of—all of it grew to become information that helped me join the dots between instruments and method.
With every process, I discovered one thing new about what was lacking from our business.
The Evolution of Embroidery
In 2013, I had a second that utterly modified my perspective on PMU. I attended an business convention in Orlando and watched an artist from China reveal a method referred to as “eyebrow embroidery” the place he created delicate, natural-looking hair strokes by etching them into the pores and skin with a handbook instrument. It was a game-changer. The strokes have been crisp, the outcomes have been pure, and I spotted this was precisely what shoppers have been craving – a substitute for the heavy, tattooed-on brows that seemed daring and flat.
However as revolutionary because the method was, the instruments used have been removed from professional-grade. They have been extra like low-quality exacto-knives than the precision devices artists wanted to create lasting magnificence.
This was my “ah-ha” second.
That’s after I determined to cease settling for “ok” and reinvent the entire course of. Our instruments ought to elevate our artistry, not restrict it.
Give it some thought: the perfect determine skaters wouldn’t step onto the ice with uninteresting blades, and we shouldn’t work with instruments that compromise our craft. With that understanding, I coined the time period “microblading” and designed the primary disposable microblade at my kitchen desk. The aim was easy: to create a instrument that provided security, consistency, and precision, remodeling how we strategy eyebrow artistry. Designing it was essentially the most enjoyable half– it needed to be pre-assembled and completely angled, so utilizing a chopstick and foam finger grips, I got down to design my first prototype.

The PIXL Growth Story
With one challenge solved, new challenges emerged over time. As a brand new period of machine work gained reputation, the needles and machines in the marketplace posed a distinct set of issues: they have been both actually low cost machines and needles that have been unsafe, costly digital machines and needles that break the bank, or high-performance tattoo needles that had too many complicated sizes.
There was a scarcity of basic training on what needles to make use of and why to make use of them. Most individuals knew solely to make use of a single, 1RL needle as a result of “their teacher informed them to”, however they didn’t know tips on how to use every other needle sizes and weren’t courageous sufficient to attempt one thing new. That’s the equal of utilizing 1 brush to do your complete make-up routine or paint an elaborate image– very limiting!
To make it simpler for artists to entry the best instruments, I created line of needle cartridges made particularly for tattooing the fragile options of the face at a value level they may afford with out compromising high quality.
The PIXL 1RL needle with the unique “no-drip tip”
I wished to concentrate on serving to artists get the perfect outcomes potential. Should you’ve ever had pigment pool on the pores and skin throughout a process, you understand how irritating it may be. As an alternative of focusing in your artwork, you’re left wiping continuously, hoping the pigment landed the place you supposed. This wasn’t simply inconvenient—it affected outcomes, added pointless pores and skin trauma, and slowed down procedures.
I knew there needed to be a greater method, so I got down to redesign the standard needle tip. The spherical design of normal cartridges would trigger pigment to pool across the rim, like a leaky faucet—particularly with skinny or plasma-filled pigments. After experimenting with many alternative prototypes, I discovered the answer: an arrow-shaped, no-drip tip. This design channels pigment on to the needle’s level, stopping pooling and providing you with higher visibility.
Right here’s what makes PIXL needles a game-changer:
- A transparent line of sight so you possibly can see precisely the place the needle is touchdown, guaranteeing precision in each stroke.
- Easy, predictable pigment stream that eliminates the necessity for fixed re-dipping and reduces the chance of trauma to the pores and skin.
- Minimal cleanup due to the no-drip tip, which retains your work space clear and allows you to focus in your artistry.
- Versatility to be used on brows, eyes, and lips, making PIXL needles ultimate for a variety of procedures.
