Eye tattoo – video reviews

You can limit yourself to the arrows on the upper eyelid, or you can make a tattoo on both the upper and lower eyelids. A popular procedure is filling the space between the eyelashes; this creates the effect of thick and lush eyelashes

Tattooing is performed using very thin needles and a special apparatus under sterile conditions. Hypoallergenic dyes are used on an organic or mineral basis. In order to avoid accidental movements, the master fixes the eyelid, on which the contour of the future makeup is applied.

The entire procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and if you experience pain during the make-up, the specialist will apply an additional dose of anesthetic.

For pain relief, special creams or gels are usually used, since injection anesthesia often causes an increase in edema after the procedure

At the end of the dye injection, the master will apply a bactericidal preparation to the eyelids.

Permanent eye makeup is not necessarily a complete replacement for the usual – rather, it creates a contouring base that you can complement with your usual cosmetics to your liking. Experts do not advise doing extravagant tattooing – it is easy to make your appearance more effective if necessary, but you will not be able to change your catchy permanent makeup to everyday makeup in the next few years.

Eye tattooing is also recommended for those who would like to slightly change the shape of their eyes, but are not ready for drastic measures. Permanent make-up will help to give more brightness and expressiveness to the face, make the look deep

It should be noted that permanent makeup is recommended for those who often suffer from conjunctivitis: the ability to use decorative cosmetics less often will reduce the risk of getting inflammation of the eye mucosa again. Of course, during an exacerbation of the disease, the procedure cannot be carried out. If conjunctivitis is due to an allergy, a diagnostic test will be required.

The disadvantages of eye tattooing to some extent stem from its advantages. After making permanent makeup, you will not be able to change it until the pigment fades. Correction of defects arising from the introduction of the dye is possible, however, it is possible to completely remove the tattoo only with the help of a laser, and not at one time. So, if you like to experiment with your own appearance, it is better to give up tattooing and limit yourself to the contents of the cosmetic bag.

Eye tattooing has both absolute and relative contraindications.

Absolute contraindications:

• insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
• oncological diseases
• epilepsy
• poor blood clotting
• immunodeficiency states and hepatitis
• tendency to form keloid scars
• moles or papillomas in the dye injection area
• serious diseases of the cardiovascular system, hypertension

In the presence of relative contraindications, you can simply postpone the procedure for several weeks or months, or carry out it subject to medication and after consulting a doctor.

Relative contraindications are:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding
• exacerbation of chronic diseases or any untreated inflammatory process in the body
• acute conjunctivitis

It is not recommended to do a tattoo during menstruation, you should wait until it ends. For non-infectious skin diseases, especially if the skin around the eyes is affected, you must first heal

The success of the procedure directly depends on the qualifications of the master and his experience. Such a service does not exist cheaply – if you are offered to get an eye tattoo at a suspiciously low price, it is better to refuse, because in this salon they could save not only on an experienced specialist, but also on high-quality pigments, devices or disposable consumables. In no case should you carry out the procedure at home.

Do not expect that you will leave the salon beautiful, like on the cover of a magazine, at first all the pigment injection lines will have a red color, the eyelids will swell, and crusts may form, which in no case should be peeled off.

All inconveniences are temporary.

Normally, the edema lasts about a day, and the desired effect is achieved completely after four weeks.

If the swelling lasts longer, the eyelids itch, you feel a burning sensation or pain in the eye area, you should immediately consult a doctor. Dry skin is more prone to prolonged swelling, so consider this when deciding to carry out the procedure. To relieve swelling, you can apply dry, cold compresses – for example, put cotton pads in the freezer for a while, and then apply them to your eyes.

Too deep injection of the pigment poses some danger. This is fraught with scars, an undesirable shade, the appearance of long-lasting edema. To avoid the incorrect introduction of dyes, only contacting a qualified technician working with high-quality equipment that does not deeply injure the skin will help.

Until complete healing, you need to avoid direct sunlight, refuse to visit a bath, pool, solarium, when washing, you can not rub your face. It is also better not to use decorative cosmetics at this time.

Inconsistency of the result with expectations (the wrong color of the pigment, insufficient brightness of the lines) is possible when the pigment is injected at an insufficient depth (usually, after complete healing, the tattoo can be corrected) or because of an individual reaction to the dye, which is impossible to predict.

On mature skin, tattooing usually lasts longer, but women of age are not recommended long arrows – with natural changes in the skin, they can be deformed.
