Frequently Asked Questions

The following information is very important. Please read thoroughly!

Permanent Eyeliner Do’s & Don’ts prior to your appointment

What is a permanent lash line enhancement tattoo?

It's a cosmetic tattoo that enhances the look of your natural lash line by adding pigment along the lash line on the upper lids. This creates definition that makes lashes look fuller and darker.

Is it the same as an eyeliner tattoo?

Lash Line Enhancement is a type of "permanent eyeliner". The tattoo enhances your natural lash line.

Does getting it done hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied first, and a secondary numbing agent is applied throughout the procedure. You may feel some minor discomfort from the pressure of the needle, but it is usually minimal.

What is the recovery like?

There is a possibility of redness, swelling, and tenderness for a few days. Cool compresses help. In 1-2 weeks the pigment will fade before darkening again. Full results are visible after 4-6 weeks.

How long does it last?

No guarantee can be made as to how long lash line enhancement tattoo results will last, due to each client being unique. However with proper aftercare, results generally can last 1-2 years before needing a refresh. Avoiding sun, chemicals, and exfoliants helps prolong the results.

Is there any downtime?

No. You can resume your day as normal.
