Has anyone had permanent eyeliner done?

[Plumpkinn]

I mean tattooed?

If so how bad was it? Did you use emla cream?

Is it more/less painful than normal tattoos?

No but I had my lips done last week and its was super painful so I am put off getting eyes done. Though I would love to.

No but I'd like it done so following.

The lip blushing made my lips even and fuller looking. I had slightly uneven shape. Also not defined.

The eye lined would be amazing

Bumping, I'm interested. But scared of the pain.

Yes and don't. Will give more of an update tomorrow

Bear in mind that fashions in eye liner change. You might well regret doing anything permanent.

I've had my eyeliner done several times. It can feel sore and scratchy but it's bloody worth it. I think they used emla cream but let them sort that for you. Not had my lips done but it's meant to be agony

Actually my eyeliner needs doing again so this has reminded me to book in

Is it tattooed on your eyelid by your lashes? That's got to sting a bit, and I've got 9 tattoos as it is!

My pe teacher at school had hers done in royal blue - the look dated fast
she was 1980s through the 80s90s and 00s - looked ridiculous

I did, it was so painful, I was told I couldn't use cream and it didn't stick, faded after a few days so she did it again and the same thing happened again. I gave up!

A friend has had it done and looks great. She reckons it didn’t hurt but she also fell asleep having her brows done and I thought that hurt!

Yes I have. It hurt like hell and that was with emla cream. My eyes were so so swollen. Looked like I’d been punched. Both eyes, could hardly see out of them.

I’ve had it done, it was scratchy but not awful. The practitioner provided me with a really good numbing cream. Had it about 6 months now and I 100% recommend it. If you’re anywhere in the West Midlands I can give you a recommendation.

I have. I say more painful, but the numbing cream did nothing for me. So I just sucked it up. I don't regret it at all.

Yes I did. Sorry to say I'd never have it done again.

I've had my eyebrows down which was fine. Lots of "normal" tattoos on painful bits like ribs etc - but for me it was on a whole new pain level!

Doesn't sound very permanent, how often does it need doing?

I'm presuming it'll be like micro blading on brows and need doing every few years or you just let them fade away

Yes! And my eyebrows too! Love it!!!! Seriously, it’s life changing cause I had really pale eyebrows and eyelashes and now I look like I’ve made an effort every day

I think you need a top up every couple of years but only if you feel you want to - some people prefer the faded look I guess

Yep. I have really natural eyeliner in my lash line, top and bottom. I’ve had quite a few things done and it was the most uncomfortable thing out of all of them. Scratchy though, not outright pain. It was worth it for me. I still wear proper, bolder eyeliner but I look tons better when I have no makeup on. In summary, it was worth it but I’ll always dread getting it done!
