Eyeliner Tattoo

If you are tired of smudged and messy eyeliner makeup, eyeliner tattoo could be for you! Just imagine an eyeliner that is WATERPROOF and SWEATPROOF that can last you up to 3-5 years.

How do I prepare for this treatment?

  • Must arrive makeup free.

  • Do not wear contact lenses during the procedure or for 24 hrs after – please bring your eyeglasses.

  • Do not drink any caffeine, alcohol 24 hours prior to your procedure

  • Do not take Niacin, Vitamin E or Ibuprofen 24 hours before the procedure.

  • No tanning a week prior to your procedure.

  • Discontinue Retin-A, and Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) at least 2 weeks prior.

  • Do not have eyelash extensions. You must have your eyelash extensions removed prior to coming in for your appointment.

  • Do not get lashes tinted prior.

  • If you have had any type of eye surgery, including cataract, Lasik, and blepharoplasty, you must consult your physician and get clearance. Most physicians require 2-9 months before you can have your eyeliner done. This is because there is slight pressure on the eye during the procedure.

  • If using an eyelash growth serum, you must discontinue use 2 weeks prior to the procedure and cannot use for 2 weeks after the procedure.

FAQ’s

  • Levels of discomfort vary upon each individual’s pain threshold and sensitivity. To ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, a topical anesthetic (4-5% Lidocaine and 2% Tetracaine) will be applied before and during your treatment. Please note, if you are on your menstrual cycle you may be more sensitive to pain. Sleep, stress and caffeine can also play a factor in pain sensitivity.

  • Semi permanent pigments will fade over time naturally. Many different factors affect the life of the implanted pigment, such as sun exposure, skin type, general health and immediate and long term aftercare. Results can last years, but most clients will require a touch-up every 1-2 years to refresh color and shape. Frequent smokers or those with iron deficiency anemia may have results fade sooner. Results vary with each client.

     Other Considerations:

    -Very hooded eyelids may limit the extent to which the eyeliner can be done, please inquire before booking

    -Have lash extensions - must remove 1 week before tattooing (so not to damage the hair follicle)

    -Use Latisse or lash serum - must stop serums 2 weeks before tattooing

  • An in depth consultation where expectations and desires are discussed and a removable outline is drawn before the procedure. The procedure is generally performed the same day of the consultation, so long as there are no contraindications. We allow enough time to complete paperwork, take before/after photos, 20-30 minutes of topical numbing, the procedure and a review of aftercare.

    Additionally, your eyes will be closed during the procedure, so no worries about damage to your eyes themselves or seeing the device/needle

  • We use iron oxide and carbon based pigments deemed safe for the skin around the eyes. These formulas are specifically made for permanent makeup procedures. I love Permablend and Evenflo pigments for eyeliner. Both brands are very stable , high performance pigments that undergo rigorous testing for carcinogenic compounds, unsafe dyes/metals and microbiological sterility.

    My choice of machine is the Bellar Air. It is a top of the line machine designed specifically for permanent makeup.
