I've lived in many different parts of the planet, and have had permanent makeup procedures carried out in clinics in so many places I've forgotten half of them. Every time I have been very happy with the results and the fact that I no longer have to spend so much time looking in the mirror every morning.

Now I get out of bed every morning with perfect eyebrows, eyeliner and lips. Not only that but when I take my daily swim in the sea I get out of the water looking like I haven't gotten my face wet. No more running eyebrow pencil or black smudges caused by liner. Because of my positive experience with cosmetic tattooing I have always encouraged other to get something done too, but in reality you should think carefully about getting a procedure done when its going to make a permanent make on your face. Its not something that everyone will want to get done.

I have been lucky enough to get much of my makeup done by some of the best cosmeticians in the world in places such as Hong Kong and Taipei, but in my travels i have also seen many women who have had procedures turn into a disaster. Much of the time its because the artist got the shape wrong or made a brow too pronounced, it can also because the tattoo was placed above where it should be naturally or the technique use didn't resemble real hair.

Many of the problems result from women getting an eyebrow tattoo after they have removed their natural brow using electrolysis or another of the facial hair removal systems which are available. They also seem to happen more to ladies who live in smaller towns where the newest tattooing techniques are available, they might still be using the regular tattooing skills that are better suited to creating an image on someones upper arm.

New improved methods use a vast choice of pigments and blending of colors to produce a more natural shade to better imitate real eyebrow hair.

So who should be seriously consider getting a cosmetic tattoo?

If you are someone who has lost your eyebrows because of illness then you will definitely want to look into this solution, especially if you can find an artist who can use feathering techniques. This is when small strokes of pigment are used to create the real hair appearance instead of solid dark lines. If you have sparse hair, or the color is too light for your liking then a skilled technician will be able to follow the natural line and give you the look you crave.

You probably won't want to get the procedure done if you have poor natural healing abilities, if you bleed profusely, or if you scar easily.

For people who are insure about whether this would be the right choice for them its possible to start with something smaller such as a little eyeliner. Have an artist tattoo a fine lash line to give you an idea of how you skin reacts to the procedure. If that works out well then you want to go ahead with the eyebrow tattooing.
