How Deep Should Microblading Be Done?
Microblading is an art, and the depth of each stroke is crucial. Understanding how deep should microblading be can make a significant difference in the results.
Why Depth Matters in Microblading
The correct depth for microblading is very shallow, just into the upper dermis. Going too deep can cause:
- Blowouts or smudged pigment
- Scarring
- Grey or unnatural tones
Shallow vs. Deep Microblading
Understanding microblading depth helps you make informed decisions:
- Shallow feathering technique: Safe, precise, and natural-looking. Perfect for eyebrow tattooing that heals cleanly.
- Too deep: May cause scarring, pigment spreading, and unnatural appearance.
At ELKA CLINIC, we use a shallow microblading technique for all clients to ensure flawless results. This approach directly addresses questions of how deep should microblading be.

Here you can see through a microscope image what the naked eye cannot see, illustrating the precise answer to how deep microblading should be.
On the right side of the picture we have a result of a deep microblading scratch. This scratch is in the dermis layer of skin. In the left picture we have the result of a shallow microblading scratch. This is at the top of the epidermis layer of skin.
That’s what happens when you get too deep into tissue when microblading. We can easily tell that with the deeper scratch the hair strokes will look blurry and greyish after healing time.
