What Is A Permanent Eyeliner Tattoo?

Eyeliner tattoo is an advanced permanent makeup procedure that recreates the look of wearing eyeliner.

Using an electric device specially designed for cosmetic tattooing, the artist inserts semi-permanent pigments of natural origins into the skin of your eyelids, thus ‘permanently’ drawing on your eyeliner in the shape you want.

The whole procedure is generally considered to be non-invasive, since it involves no actual downtime and you can carry on with your life right after it, but it does entail a few weeks of healing, as your skin needs to recover from the micro-trauma.

Can Anyone Get Semi Permanent Eyeliner?

Just like it’s the case with any permanent makeup treatment, most people qualify as good candidates for the procedure of getting semi permanent eyeliner. However, there are certain conditions that make getting tattoo eyeliner unsafe, and thus impossible:

  • Viral infections or diseases
  • On-going chemotherapy
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Skin conditions like Psoriasis or Rosacea in the area
  • Proneness to keloid scar formation
  • Blood thinning medication
  • People with diabetes should get a doctor’s approval
  • Recently Anti-Wrinkle Injections injections or dermal fillers (you need to wait at least 2 weeks)
  • Pregnancy and nursing

About the Permanent Eyeliner Treatment

STEP 1 – Consults

First off, you will have a chat with your artist about what eyeliner style you want. You can show them examples of what you’d like, or you can show up wearing makeup like you usually do, so the artist can get the idea of what to do.

You will also choose the color you want – black is not recommended, it’s better to go for dark shades of brown, as they fade more attractively. Technically, you can go for any color, but bear in mind that you’ll be wearing the look every day and you need it to suit any occasion.

The technician will give you a couple of forms to fill out to make sure it’s safe for you to get the procedure, a medical history form, and a PMU consent form.

They’ll also talk you through the aftercare instructions you need to follow to make sure your eyeliner tattoo heals properly.

STEP 2 – Preparations

The procedure starts by getting the eye cleaned with a make-up removal product. The area needs to be cleaned from any residues of makeup and skincare, as well as sebum.

Then, a numbing cream is applied that will make the procedure pain-free. It may still be uncomfortable, though, but it shouldn’t hurt.

STEP 3 – The actual tattooing

Once the anesthetic kicks in, your artist will start implementing pigments with a PMU machine. The technique implies breaking the surface of the skin over and over, and saturating the skin by adding more and more tiny dots that merge into a line.

STEP 4 – Pigment buildup

The artist will probably make 2-3 passes, to make sure enough pigments are deposited. So be prepared for about an hour of continual needling. When they’re sure the pigment saturation is high enough, they’ll clean up the area, and that’s the end of the first appointment.

STEP 5 – 6-8 week touch up

Semi permanent eyeliner is a two-visit treatment. Once your skin heals after the first session, you need to go back for a touch up.

During healing, some of the pigment is lost, so this is an opportunity to fix any lighter patches, and make the line thicker or darker if you want to.

Does Getting an Eyeliner Tattoo Hurt?

The procedure of getting tattoo eyeliner is a non-invasive one, but the client needs to know that it’s still a form of tattooing.

The needle that breaks the skin is very thin, but the patient will most likely feel a certain sensation. This sensation, however, shouldn’t be pain per se, as a numbing ointment is applied beforehand. The feeling might be a light scratching on the skin.

If you find the needling too painful, tell your artist. They may add another layer of numbing cream. 

Preparing Beforehand for the Permanent Eyeliner Treatment

  • Do not dye or lift your eyelashes for at least 2 days before your – procedure (some artists advise as long as 2 weeks).
  • If you have eyelash extensions, have them removed at least 3 days before your procedure.
  • Inform your PMU artist if you’ve had any eye surgery or intervention in the area (Anti-Wrinkle Injections, filler, laser eye surgery, etc.).
  • Avoid taking the following for at least 3 days before your treatment: aspirin, ibuprofen, niacin, coumadin, fish oil, vitamin E.
  • Don’t drink alcohol at least 24 hours before the procedure.
  • Don’t drink caffeine 24 hours before the procedure – you’ll bleed more.
  • Wash your hair that morning – you can’t get your healing tattoo wet for the next few days.
  • Bring sunglasses to wear home as your eyes may be sensitive to light after the treatment.

Relax! It’s not actually as scary as you might think.

*Note: You won’t be able to wear contact lenses during the procedure and for the next 24 hours.

Permanent Eyeliner Aftercare

Upon finishing the procedure, you will be instructed to clean the tattoo area frequently in the first 24 hours in order to remove the lymph. Otherwise, the lymph will turn to scabs, which can affect pigment retention. Lymph drainage is totally normal and expected after any permanent makeup procedure. 

The basic aftercare instructions are:

  • Don’t get your eyeliner tattoo wet for the next 7-10 days. This does not mean you shouldn’t clean the area, only that you should protect the area during showers, and avoid swimming, saunas, steam baths, and activities that cause excessive sweating.
  • Don’t use make-up on or near the area for 7-10 days, until your skin is completely healed. You’ll need to remove the makeup, and harsh cleansers and rubbing can affect pigment retention.
  • Don’t touch, rub or pick any of the scabs or dry skin that you might see on your eyelids. Everyone’s skin is different, so the amount of scabbing varies.
  • Don’t sleep on your face.
  • Don’t get any facials, peels, Anti-Wrinkle Injections or fillers for at least 4 weeks.
  • There is no actual downtime after the treatment, so you can carry on with your day, but don’t be surprised if you experience some swelling and redness.

Eyeliner Tattoo Touch-Up

The first eyeliner tattoo touch up is necessary in most cases.

It’s done once the skin heals, 6-8 weeks after the initial treatment. It serves the purpose of adding more pigments where healing has left lighter patches, or making the eyeliner thicker or darker if that’s how you want it.

As far as additional touch ups are concerned, it’s up to you. Your eyeliner tattoo will fade over time, and if you want to refresh it, you can book a touch up whenever you feel the need to. This way, you’ll prolong the results.

The Effects of Semi Permanent Eyeliner

How Long Does Permanent Eyeliner Last?

Your semi permanent eyeliner tattoo can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years, depending on your skin type, age, skincare products you use, lifestyle…

Even though the ink will be injected into the skin, the color will eventually fade. This means that the chances of the color fully disappearing are quite high. However, since everyone’s skin is different and holds the pigment differently, it’s difficult to say precisely how long it will take for the color to fade.

Generally, it is expected to completely fade after 3 years, if not sooner, but in some cases, a certain amount of pigment will stay visible for up to 5 years. 

Will I Lose Some Color During the First Week?

Just like it’s the case with all permanent makeup procedures, some of the color will fade in the first week.

You might think that the semi permanent eyeliner is too dark and dramatic right after the treatment, but it will fade a bit in the first month. So don’t panic. Chances are, it’ll look much better after 7 days, and you’ll definitely get the look you desired after the touch up.

Eyeliner Tattoo Side Effects & Risks

Semi permanent eyeliner is a serious cosmetic procedure and therefore must be performed by a licensed, well-trained professional.

Some of the risks and potential complications that should be aware of before the treatment are:

  • Unsterile equipment and needles can easily pass along infections, from mild ones, to hepatitis and staph bacteria.
  • Allergic reaction. Even though rare, allergic reactions to PMU pigments can be very serious. That’s why you should always insist on a patch test.
  • These are nodules that may form around the substance the body perceives as foreign, in this case the pigments.
  • If you are prone to developing scars, you may be at risk of keloid formation.
