Iv always thought about trying it out, today I was in the salon and a girl has rented out a room there doing semi permanent make-up but specialises in eyebrows. I'm very tempted to try the eyebrows has anyone tried it

    It's too "perfect" looking to me, I find it very distracting when people's eyebrows are that flawless

    I know a woman who has tattooed eyebrows... awful in my opinion, but she must like them!

    I guess I just worry that it's more permanent than advertised and I'd end up looking ridiculous in my eighties.

    My Mrs has the best eyebrows. imo they're best kept natural with slight grooming, obviously no mono's and ones that provide rain cover but keep em natural.

    I had a neutral brown eye liner tattooed on. I had to work REALLY hard to convince the tech that all I wanted was fill color at the base of my eye lashes so that it will look natural. Nothing outside of the line of eye lashes. I have extra thick hair which was blond when I was little, now it's dark brown. My eye lashes have stayed mostly blond (figures) so without eye liner I look like I've had chemo and I'm wearing a wig. The tattoo is just enough to look "normal" and I can use regular eye liner when I want. It was very uncomfortable but not as bad as I had expected.

    i would quite fancy havign that done... because i always wear eyeliner so it would save me a job! don't think i am brave enough though, just in case something went wrong!

    My sister had micro blading done and it looks amazing! When she first got it done and before healing her eyebrows kinda looked like an angry bird, but after a week or so, they looked very natural! I also have a friend that has her eyeliner tattooed on and it looks great as well. I'd love to have either done!

    My sister & friend had the eyebrow, eyeliner & lips tattooed on...they love it.
    I couldn't do it...it would drive me crazy not to be able to have a bare face after washing at the end of the day

    I lost my eyebrows to Hypothyroidism 10 years ago and absolutely hated how I looked without them. I had eyebrow microblading (aka eyebrow embroidery) originally done 2 years ago and I have them retouched once a year. I did a lot of research on the technique and artist before deciding to go through with it. I would never do a permanent tattoo on my face because over time the face naturally changes. With the semi-permanent makeup, the inks don't fade to green/gray/red/purple and if I don't get them re-done every year, the color would disappear in 2-3 years. The difference is that they go deep enough under the skin to make the color stay but not deep enough to make it permanent, so choose your artist carefully because it all depends on their experience to get the color deposited in the correct layer. They used numbing cream on me but I'm the kind of person that anesthetics don't work well on, so it hurt a lot!!! But it's worth it for me to still have eyebrows when I go swimming, wash my face, wake up in the morning, etc. I can still use makeup to alter my eyebrow shape as I please, but I love that I still have them when I'm not wearing any makeup at all, it's like I got a missing part of me back again. The artist will follow a shape that they (or you) have drawn on after you are sure you like it. There's no down time but you will have to put a bit of vaseline on them for about 10 days and you will lose about 10-40% of the color intensity depending on how the skin responds, but ultimately it should look subtle and nothing like a permanent tattoo.
