Semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul: Orbit Beauty

I basically don't have eyebrows. Or rather, they're very faint. They get especially thin toward the tail, which makes it pretty obvious, so I get eyebrow tattoos regularly, about once every three years.

Where should I get my eyebrows done this time? While searching, I hesitated about this place because it didn't have many procedure photos — but honestly, why did I even hesitate? The shape and color were both perfect, and I was so relaxed during the procedure that I fell asleep without realizing it. Here's my review of Orbit Beauty, a brow spot that deserves nothing but praise.

Orbit Beauty is on the 3rd floor of a teal-colored building, so just look for that color. Everything is done as a 1:1 customized procedure.

1:1 customized procedure!

The shop is on the 3rd floor

Overall it feels simple and pleasant. I even found myself checking how clean the restroom was, out of habit — and it was spotless throughout.

The treatment bed! Thanks to that blanket, it was super soft and comfortable.

A cosmetologist license, posters — the walls are simply decorated!

How the natural brow tattoo works and what the retouch covers

What I got at Orbit Beauty was a natural brow tattoo. Embo (hair-stroke) brows always feel too unnatural to me, so I always go with natural brows — same this time too!

Before removing my old eyebrows — it was already evening so they'd faded a bit already. As soon as I arrived, they carefully removed my makeup, applied numbing cream, and had me wait about 15 minutes.

The director gave off such a calming vibe that her touch felt even more delicate.

Filling out the consent form while numbing! One retouch is free, available starting one month after the procedure and free within two months. After that, extra fees apply, so make sure to check!

The brow design was right on the first try

Once the numbing finished, it was time to set the design — and this is where the director's skill really showed. This was my fourth time getting this done, but I'd never had someone nail the shape so intuitively and confidently before.

She marked the spacing between my brows, the height, and more with dots and lines, adjusting with extreme care... I'm honestly picky about brow shape (it's semi-permanent, but still a tattoo, after all), so I always ask for revisions — but here, I loved the design on the first go.

Full trust, 100% charged, right from the shaping process

Does an eyebrow tattoo hurt? I fell asleep during mine

After trimming my brow hairs, the real procedure began. She opened a brand-new blade right in front of me to show me, and worked wearing the white hospital-style gloves — full marks for hygiene. Since it's a blade touching your skin, I did get a little nervous, but it was only the faintest sting.

And then... this is genuinely a first in my eyebrow tattoo history — I fell asleep during the procedure without even realizing it!! I'm normally a light sleeper and can never doze off in an open space like that, so I was shocked at myself after waking up. That's proof of just how painless and comfortable it was.

The results, and how the brows changed the next day and 5 days later

Ta-da, the result

The moment I looked in the mirror after the procedure, I went 'oh...'. She carefully filled in the sparse back section, and it looked natural enough to pass as my real eyebrows.

Along with aftercare instructions, they thoughtfully gave me a week's worth of healing cream and disposable cotton swabs. From the treatment bed to the supplies they send you home with, the whole shop radiates cleanliness... The whole thing took about 1 hour 30 minutes!

The very next day. Apparently the pigment usually rises and looks darkest in the first day or two after.

After 5 days, it looks even more natural! Every time I look in the mirror I'm thrilled with the shape — no artificial look at all, exactly the texture I wanted. So so so so satisfied! I'll post an update when I go back for the retouch!

Is Orbit Beauty worth it? Final verdict

My eyebrow tattoo procedure at Orbit Beauty in Yeongdeungpo made all my earlier worries feel pointless — the shape, the color, the comfort, everything was totally satisfying. Thanks to the director's tasteful design sense and delicate touch, I was comfortable enough to fall asleep during the procedure, and the thorough hygiene practices and thoughtful aftercare made me trust them even more.

If you're in Seoul looking for a natural, pretty result, I'd say this is a must-visit for anyone like me who hunts down the best brow spots.
