What is eyeliner tattoo?
The procedure involves using a tattoo machine and needle to implant pigment into the skin, creating a long-lasting, natural-looking line that can enhance the shape of your eyes and make them appear more open and awake. Think of it as a time-saving solution for your daily make-up routine, with eyeliner tattooing, you'll wake up every morning with perfectly lined eyes, no more smudging or smearing

First 6 hours your eyes will be slightly swollen. Applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling and ease any discomfort.
Apply a thin layer of A&D ointment on the brow bone 2x a day. The ointment will slowly trickle down into the liner.
Swelling is normal for the next two days after the appointment.
Use the ointment for 7 days.
Avoid all eye makeup for 14 days.
No sweating for 3 days, No tanning for 7 days.
Scabbing is normal and you will start to noticing the scabbing happening at around 5-7 days. Do not pick or peel the scabs as it can lead to patchy healed results. Let the scabs fall off naturally and continue to use the ointment for hydration.
