What is an Eyeliner Tattoo?

Struggling to perfect your eyeliner every morning? An eyeliner tattoo can simplify your routine! Using a cosmetic tattoo machine with a single-use disposable needle, we insert pigment along your lash line to create a flawless eyeliner look that lasts 3-5 years, depending on aftercare and lifestyle. You can choose from various styles, such as bold wings, subtle lash enhancements, or smoky effects in different colors. It’s perfect for defining your lash line and saving time on makeup. Suitable for all skin types.

Who’s it for?

The perfect candidate for eyeliner tattoo is someone who:

Wants to simplify their makeup routine: Ideal for those who want to save time by having perfectly applied eyeliner without the daily effort.

Seeks long-lasting eyeliner: Perfect for individuals looking for a semi-permanent solution that can last 3-5 years.

Has difficulty applying eyeliner: Great for those who struggle with shaky hands, poor vision, or other challenges that make applying eyeliner difficult.

Wants to enhance their lash line: Suitable for those looking to define or enhance their lash line for a more polished or dramatic look.

Is active or has a busy lifestyle: Ideal for people who want their eyeliner to stay intact throughout the day, regardless of sweating, swimming, or other activities.

Has sensitivities or allergies to makeup: A good option for individuals who may have reactions to traditional makeup products.

Has sparse or light eyelashes: It’s a great choice for those who want to add the appearance of fuller, darker lashes.

However, individuals with certain conditions like sensitive skin around the eyes, prone to keloid scarring, or taking blood-thinning medications should consult with a professional before considering the procedure.

Contradictions

• Cold Sores and Shingles: Viral infections near the eye can complicate the healing process.
• Bacterial Infections: Conditions like impetigo must be fully resolved before undergoing permanent eyeliner.
• Eczema and Psoriasis: Chronic conditions can affect the skin’s ability to retain pigment and heal efficiently after the procedure.
• Dermatitis: Inflammation can lead to unpredictable healing and potentially aggravate the condition.
• Scarring: Scars from surgery must be healed for at least 1 year. Scarred skin may not hold pigment as desired.
• Lasik or Cataract Surgery: Must get medical clearance from physician.
• History of Keloids: While it is rare, individuals prone to keloidal scarring should be cognizant of the inherent risk of keloids associated with any tattoo process. Before opting for permanent eyeliner or any form of permanent makeup, it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist to make an informed decision.
• Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like lupus can alter how the skin heals and retains pigment.
• Blood Disorders: Diseases affecting blood clotting can result in excessive bleeding during the procedure.
• Diabetes: Uncontrolled diabetes might impair wound healing due to weakened immune function. A physician’s clearance will be needed.
• Active Cancer and Chemotherapy: Those with active cancer or undergoing chemotherapy must consult their physician before considering permanent eyeliner. A physician’s clearance will be required.
• Epilepsy: For those prone to seizures, permanent eyeliner is a contraindication without prior medical clearance.
• Blood Thinners: These can cause increased bleeding during the procedure, potentially affecting pigment retention.
• Retinol or Retin-A (Tretinoin): Consistent use can lead to quicker skin turnover and thinning of the skin, which might influence the pigment retention.
• Accutane: This medication can alter skin characteristics. A waiting period of at least one year after completing Accutane treatment is advised before undergoing permanent eyeliner.
• Topical Steroids: Prolonged use can thin the skin, which may influence the process and healing of permanent makeup applications.
• Hair, Lash, or Brow Growth Serums: Recent use, especially near the eyeline area, can affect the outcome of the permanent eyeliner procedure. Must be discontinued for 4 weeks prior to your cosmetic tattoo appointment.
• Chemical Exfoliants: Recent use of products containing AHAs, BHAs, or other chemical exfoliants can make the skin more sensitive and might influence pigment retention.
• Botox: Waiting at least two weeks after botox injections is recommended to ensure the treated area is stable.
• Chemical Peels, Microneedling, Laser Treatments: These treatments can increase skin sensitivity, making a sufficient recovery period crucial.

Touch-Up Appointment

Scheduling a touch-up appointment after your initial eyeliner tattoo appointment is important. It’s often called the “perfecting session” where we assess how your eyeliner has healed and make any necessary adjustments. The touch-up appointment can be made 6 weeks after your initial appointment. Maintenance touch-ups can be done every 3-5 years to give your eyeliner tattoo a color boost and keep them looking fresh.
