Microbeau

What Microbeau does

Microbeau International is a US-based designer and manufacturer of professional permanent makeup (PMU) equipment, founded in 2017 by Gaston and Lulu Siciliano and headquartered in Doral, Florida. The company operates a vertically integrated product portfolio spanning proprietary PMU tattoo machines (E.L.B., Bellar Air, Flux Mini/S/MAX, Xion S, Apollo SMP), Vertix-branded needle cartridges in Academy/Nano/Pico/Microblade tiers, Perma Blend and Evenflo pigment lines, and supporting accessories (power supplies, batteries, grips, footswitches, practice skins, aftercare). Its machines are hand-assembled in the USA under ISO 9001 quality certification, with patented and patent-pending features including needle-sensing technology, adjustable eGive, interchangeable stroke systems, and precision voltage control with OLED readouts.

The business operates a dual go-to-market: direct-to-consumer via the Microbeau Shopify storefront, paired with a global network of 50+ authorized resellers across North America, Europe, Canada, Latin America, Oceania, Africa, and the Middle East. Pricing is transactional and one-time, spanning under $10 for accessories and practice supplies up to ~$1,200 for premium machines, with consumables (needles, pigments) driving repeat purchase volume. Distribution is supported by volume-discounted wholesale tiers, sponsored-artist marketing (Instagram 35K+ followers), content/SEO blogging on PMU education, and multi-channel social presence. Customer base consists of licensed PMU artists, multi-service beauty studios, and PMU training academies performing cosmetic tattooing (eyebrows, lips, eyeliner), scalp micropigmentation, and scar camouflage. EU REACH compliance and BVL registration on the LUXE pigment line are the primary regulatory footholds for international expansion, particularly in Europe.

Direct peers

• Tina Davies Professional: Tina Davies is a PMU-focused brand offering pigments, cartridges, and machines specifically for cosmetic tattoo artists. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Microbeau's Perma Blend and Vertix lines, targeting the same brow, lip, and eyeliner artist segments.
• Perma Blend (legacy / pre-acquisition): Perma Blend is a historical PMU pigment brand now part of Microbeau's portfolio; competitor brands in the legacy Perma Blend tier (pre-Microbeau integration or adjacent) share formulation lineage, artist base, and EU/US regulatory positioning with Microbeau's pigment SKUs.
• Li Pigments: Li Pigments is a long-established manufacturer of PMU pigments (brows, lips, areola, camouflage) and supplies. It competes directly with Perma Blend and Evenflo for the same professional PMU artist customer, with overlapping color ranges and similar EU regulatory positioning.
• Bishop Rotary: Bishop Rotary designs and manufactures rotary tattoo and PMU machines and accessories, including interchangeable stroke systems comparable to Microbeau's Xion S and Bellar Air. Targets the same professional artist customer base and competes on precision, ergonomics, and modularity.
• Hanafy Pigments: Hanafy is a US-based PMU pigment brand supplying brows, lips, scalp micropigmentation, and areola pigments. It competes head-to-head with Perma Blend / Evenflo and serves the same pro-PMU distribution and training channels.
• FK Irons: FK Irons is a leading manufacturer of tattoo and PMU machines, power supplies, and cartridges. It is one of Microbeau's most direct competitors in the PMU equipment category and is even listed as Microbeau's South American distributor, evidencing close commercial overlap in product lineups, target customers, and global distribution model.

Emerging players

• InkJecta: InkJecta is an Australian manufacturer of rotary tattoo and PMU machines with a reputation for precision devices. It has meaningful product overlap with Microbeau's Xion S and Bellar Air on stroke adjustability and wireless operation, though a smaller global distribution footprint.

Regional players

• Da Vinci Ink & Supply: Da Vinci is a US-focused PMU pigment and supply brand. It competes in the same professional PMU artist segment as Perma Blend and Evenflo, with overlap in brow and lip color families and similar training-academy distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Cheyenne Professional Tattoo Equipment: Cheyenne is a German-based premium tattoo machine and cartridge manufacturer with strong brand recognition in Europe. It serves many of the same professional tattoo/PMU artists as Microbeau, but with a broader, higher-end industrial product portfolio and a reputation as a category-defining incumbent.
