WHAT IS EYELINER TATTOO?

Eyeliner tattoo is a form of semi-permanent makeup. This cosmetic procedure helps accentuate your eye shape without the need for traditional makeup eyeliner. I offer several different types of eyeliner styles, including:

Natural Upper/Lower Eyeliner (Lash Enhancer)

The Natural Tattoo Eyeliner creates a subtle enhancement of your lashes (the liner is tattooed directly on the lash line). If you wish to achieve a more visible eyeliner look, please consider booking our other upper eyeliner styles listed below.

Smoky Upper Eyeliner
Cat Upper Eyeliner with Big Wing
Upper Eyeliner with Baby Wing

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE HEALING PROCESS

Day 1 | Procedure Day! Eyeliner may be slightly larger and darker. This is due to color oxidation and is a normal part of the healing process.
Day 2-3 | Your eyeliner may feel tight and dry but not painful.
Day 3-5 | Your eyeliner will begin to flake and shed naturally due to healing. It is common for your color to appear lighter than it will eventually heal. This is only temporary as your freshly healed skin is hiding the true color underneath. Over the next several weeks your color will bloom.
Day 42 | At 6 weeks your eyeliner is fully healed.

EYELINER TATTOO PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS (BEFORE YOUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT)

If you are using an eyelash growth serum/booster, please immediately stop using the serum/booster soon after booking your appointment with us.
On the day of your scheduled appointment, please make sure to arrive with NO eyelash extensions, NO contact lens, NO makeup, and NO mascara on your eyes.
If you have eyelash extensions, please have them removed at least 3 days prior to the day of your appointment to ensure your eyelids are no longer sensitive due to the eyelash extension’s glue.
For your safety and the safety of your baby, if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, we cannot perform the procedure and will ask you to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
Avoid facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, medical cosmetic injections and fillers for at least 2 to 3 weeks prior to your appointment.
If you have used retinoids within the last year, we will be unable to perform the procedure as it leads to increased swelling, bleeding, and pain. It will also impede your skin’s healing process.
Must be free of skin irritations, such as sunburns, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and severe acne on the treatment area.
If you wear contact lenses, please do not wear them at your appointment and refrain from wearing contacts for at least 4 hours post procedure.
You must be off of your antibiotics 2 weeks prior to your scheduled procedure.
Avoid blood thinners such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Aleve, Vitamin E, and Fish Oil at least 1 week before procedure, unless it is medically necessary, in which case we will need a doctor’s note.
Avoid alcohol or caffeine consumption 24-48 hours before your scheduled procedure.

POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS (AFTER YOUR SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT)

Wash your face normally with a gentle face cleanser and apply a thin layer of ointment onto your eyeliner at nighttime for at least 4 to 5 days. You may apply the ointment in the morning if the area is dry.
Do not pick, rub or peel off your scabs, to avoid bald spots, scars, or infection (itching is normal as skin is repairing itself).
Keep the treated area clean and dry (use a q-tip)), avoid environments that would cause dirt or germs to contact the area while healing.
Gently wash the treated area to remove bacteria, build-up of product and oils, and dead skin. After washing, use a clean cotton pad or tissue to blot dry the area, and apply a thin layer of ointment with a q-tip. We suggest using gentle soaps, such as Dial, Cetaphil, etc.
Avoid tanning for at least 3 to 4 weeks after procedure.
It is recommended to not sweat and exercise after the procedure for at least a week.
Keep your hair away from your face.
No eye makeup (mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, etc.) on the treated area for 3-4 days.
Do not use mascara until outer healing is complete.
Avoid sleeping on your face, use a fresh pillowcase.
Avoid face-down swimming in pool, sea, lakes, and hot tubs for the first 7-10 days.
Avoid excessive rinsing and hot water on the treated area.
Do not wear contact lenses until at least 24 hours after the procedure.
Have sunglasses available to protect the treated area from UV rays.
Do not dye, perm, or use an eyelash curler for 2 weeks.
Expect eyelids to be a bit puffy and swollen for a couple days.
Eyes may feel dry/irritated and may be sensitive to light post procedure. You may bring your sunglasses and lubricated your eyes with eye drops.
No eyelash serums or growth stimulation, these products might cause pigment migration.
Picking or pulling off skin that is not ready to come off will cause pigment loss and can pull out deeper tissue.
