Eyeliner
An eyeliner tattoo, also known as permanent eyeliner or semi-permanent makeup, is a cosmetic tattoo that involves implanting pigment into the skin to create the look of eyeliner:
Procedure
Technician uses a small tattoo machine with tiny needles to deposit pigment into the top layer of skin on the lash line. The procedure takes about 2 hours.
Styles
Eyeliner tattoos can be applied in a variety of styles, including thin lines, lash enhancements, wings, wedges, or smoky looks.
Pigment
The pigment used is different from body tattoo ink and is designed to fade over time. It's usually a blend of dark brown or black, but can also include color.
Results
The results are water-proof and sweat-proof, and typically last 2 years before needing a touch-up.
Benefits
Eyeliner tattoos can be a good option for people who have physical limitations that make it difficult to apply makeup, or who are allergic to traditional makeup.
After the procedure, you can expect some swelling, tenderness, for the first day. The color may appear ashy gray until it exfoliates and clarifies after a few days. The full healing process can take 8–30 days
