Eyeliner Tattoo

Eyeliner tattoo, permanent eyeliner is a treatment you can receive that replaces the need to wear eyeliner each day. Permanent eyeliner involves using a tattooing technique to apply ink along the lash-line to create the appearance of eyeliner. Eyeliner tattoos can be applied in a variety of styles, from extremely thin and natural-looking liner, to thicker lines, and even winged eyeliner.

Eyeliner creates a contrast in color by making the white look brighter and the color of the eyes more vivid & the illusion of fuller lashes. Whether you prefer a “barely there” effect - thin, thick or smudgy eyeliner, we customize the artistry to the individual design requirements of out clients. Permanent eyeliner can enhance skimpy lash lines and make even the thinnest lashes look thicker, fuller and darker.

EYELINER TATTOO STYLES

  • EYELASH ENHANCEMENT (super subtle)

    Eyelash enhancement is a very subtle tattoo application and it can be done in two different ways – as either a thin line that does not leave the lash area or as a dot next to each eyelash. This makes your eyelashes look longer and thicker.

  • THIN EYELINER (subtle but impactful)

    Thin eyeliner application can still make your eyes pop, whilst keeping a more ‘natural’ look. It’s a great option for those that want a thin eyeliner line, with the option of building it up further with makeup.

  • MEDIUM-WIDTH EYELINER (bold)

    A medium-width eyeliner is perfect for women who wear makeup every day and want a look that makes their owes build but still relatively natural.

  • THICK EYELINER (super bold)

    Thick eyeliner is not for everyone. For those who wear thick makeup and eyeliner daily, this will give you a permanently bold eyeliner look.

  • WINGS

    Wings are more of a ‘trend’ style, however, you need to be very careful about doing wings as there is a 'no go' zone where glands are located on the inner and outer edges of the eye. If you tattoo in this area, because of the small molecules in the pigment, it's possible to get migration of colors and spreading, which is very bad and impossible to remove. Wings are also hard to maintain as your eyes change with age.

  • Who Should Avoid Tattooing

    If you have any other serious illnesses that impacts your immunity or your ability to heal or immunity, generally tattooing is not recommended. Always consult your doctor before undertaking eyeliner tattooing.

    If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, cosmetic tattooing is not recommended.

  • Who Should Seek Medical Advice Before Having Eyeliner Tattoo

    If you are using Accutane or any other retinoids you need to be off the medication for at least six months prior to your procedure as it may interfere with wound healing. Always check with your doctor before you stop taking medication.

    If you have regular Botox injections around the eye you need to be careful about ensuring you’re fully healed before liner tattoo is applied.

    If you have diabetes, you can have eyeliner tattooing, however, it may increase your risk of infection and slow the rate of healing. Consult your doctor before having the procedure.

    If you are on any prescription medicine consult your doctor before having a cosmetic tattooing procedure.

  • Risks of Eyeliner Tattoo

    If your eyeliner tattoo is done by an expert, it is a very safe – and usually pain-free – procedure.

    However, despite the difference in inks and techniques, the application of eyeliner tattoo is basically the same as a traditional tattoo, so the same risks do apply. It is a serious cosmetic procedure and should ALWAYS be performed by a licensed and well-trained expert.

    Risks to be aware of include:

    Infection – unsterile equipment, poor hygiene or not following post-procedure advice can result in infections

    Allergic Reaction – although rare, allergic reactions to the ink have occurred

    Scarring – if you are prone to scarring, small scars can form beyond the normal tattoo area

    Nodules (Granulomas) - can form around material that the body perceives as foreign

    Removal – permanent make up removal is a slow, expensive and painful process.

PRE-CARE

  • Natural Blood Thinners: stop taking as aspirin, fish oil, and other ‘natural’ products that thin the blood for at least three days prior to your procedure. If you take prescription blood thinners, consult your doctor for advice.
  • Contact Lenses: remove contact lenses before your procedure, and don’t put them back in until any tenderness or redness has vanished.
  •  Lash Extensions: you need to remove lash extensions at least one to two days – or ideally a week – before your procedure to give lash extension glue time to disappear. Even small amounts of lash glue can interfere with the application of ink. You can reapply your lash extensions once your tattoo has healed.
  • Consult a doctor: If you are on any prescription medications, consult a doctor prior to your procedure.

POST-CARE

Using a fresh Q-Tip, apply a light coat of Vaseline to the tattooed area twice a day. Keeping the area moist during the first 5-7 days will help the tattooed area hold color and heal evenly. It is normal for the pigment to fade 30-50% within the first two weeks.
  • Do not touch the tattooed area with your fingers. This increases your risk of infection.
  • Do not rub or scratch your eyes. This increases your risk of a corneal abrasion.
  • If you should experience swelling, an ice pack may be applied using a thin protective barrier such as a paper towel. Icing is most effective in the first 24 hours following the procedure. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated can also reduce any residual swelling.
  • Do not apply makeup or mascara on or near the tattooed area for 7 days. Purchase new makeup or mascara to avoid contamination or bacterial infection.
  • Do not scrub or pick at the tattooed area. Doing so can cause the pigment underneath to be pulled out. Allow the epithelial skin to flake off by itself.
  • Do not use makeup remover or creams and avoid pools and hot tubs for two weeks.
  • With freshly washed hands, you may gently cleanse the eye area with tepid water. Avoid cleansers, soap and washcloths.
  • Do not wear contact lenses for 72 hours following the procedure. If possible, use a new pair.
  • Sunglasses are recommended to protect the eyes when outside.
  • Please notify the artist immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms: redness in or around the eye, matting or drainage, pain that becomes increasingly worse, difficulty keeping your eyes open, sensitivity to light.

Healing Process

There is usually no downtime after an eyeliner procedure, just a few cautionary things to avoid during the healing process - usually 7 - 10 days.

  • Avoid mascara, which is full of bacteria so can increase your chance of infection before the skin has full healed.

  • Similarly, avoid rubbing or touching your eyes to minimize the risk of germs and bacteria being spread.

  • Avoid swimming pools and saunas.

  • Avoid heavy exercise.
