Eye tattoo

An expressive look can be achieved with professional makeup. However, not everyone has enough time to do it day after day. Modern cosmetology offers to move to a new level of make-up - permanent. To look ideal at any time of the day, without spending a second of personal time on it, is now not the brink of fantasy, but reality itself. Today we will talk about the method of eye tattooing.

How to make eye tattoo

The procedure for tattooing eyes, in principle, in its technology does not differ much from the same, for example, eyebrow tattoo... The client visits a specialist, with whom the future permanent make-up is discussed, the color scheme is selected, in which all this will be performed. Then the master draws a sketch in front of the patient with a pencil, and if the latter is satisfied with everything, then proceeds directly to the process itself. You can see more details about the work of the master in the video posted at the end of the article, where the entire procedure for working with the needle is captured in close-up.

A specialist, at the request of the client, can do whatever he wants. In general, the effect of tattooing is similar to that of makeup with eyeliner, only in the first case it will not be washed off with water. The thickness of the lines and the length of the arrows are regulated only by the client. By the way, a specialist can draw a line along the lower eyelid, which looks very beautiful.

In general, eye tattoo can be divided into two types: decorative and natural. The task of the latter is only to slightly emphasize the eyes, while the first makes the look very pronounced and creates the effect of bright makeup.

The most common tattoo options are:

• thin small arrow going from the outer corner of the eyes to the inner one;
• a line without an arrow, running from the middle of the upper eyelid to its outer edge;
• a large, relatively wide arrow in oriental technique, significantly extending beyond the outer corner of the eyes.

The specific appearance is determined depending on the type of the client's appearance, namely, the shape of the eyes. The color is selected according to many features: the color of the skin, eyes, hair and, of course, the interests of the woman herself.

Eye Tattoo - Colors

The colors in the eye tattoo can be used in a variety of ways. From black to purple and green. However, when choosing a tone for tattooing, you need to be extremely careful. Indeed, unlike a regular pencil and eyeliner, the tattoo cannot be washed off, and you will have to walk with it from 4 to 10 years. Of course, you can try to remove it, but no one can guarantee how the delicate skin of your eyelids will react to the laser.

In general, having decided to make permanent makeup for the eyelids, one should take a responsible approach to the choice of a master. The fact is that improperly selected and mixed tones, over time, for example, after healing or prolonged exposure to the sun, can give a completely different shade than you wanted. Low-quality material, namely the paint used during permanent make-up, can turn from black, for example, to blue. Therefore, if you do not want such surprises, study the person before you go to see him.

Eyelash tattoo

Eyelash tattoos are the main natural types of permanent tattooing. It is almost imperceptible in front of the eyes, but nevertheless it gives expressiveness to the look. Ideal for those who do not like bright makeup and stick to everything natural.

The application procedure is quite simple and the name speaks for itself. The master fills in the free space between the eyelashes. This, by the way, makes them visually thicker and more magnificent. Even without mascara, it seems that the eyes are lightly applied.

There are practically no downsides to eyelash tattooing. The only thing that can be ranked here is the relative high cost of the procedure. Otherwise, there are solid pluses, of course, if the permanent makeup is done by a professional, not a self-taught person.

Eye tattoo with shading reviews

Permanent make-up with shading looks the most catchy in comparison with the usual look. It seems that in addition to the eyeliner, there are also shadows on the eyes. Professionally made permanent makeup with shading looks very beautiful both on the upper and lower eyelids. However, such a technique requires a great experience of the master. Otherwise, the effect will be terrible.

Studying the reviews of girls who made eye makeup with shading, the following advantages can be noted:

• the presence of makeup 24 hours a day, therefore, you can always look attractive;
• the need for correction arises after 1.5 years, or even longer, depending on the characteristics of the organism;
• you can safely go to the pool, swim in the sea and not worry that the makeup will be washed off;
• natural look even when painted;

and cons:

• the tattooing procedure is very painful, even if anesthetics are used;
• the duration of the edema: some have mild edema, others are very strong, to the point that their eyes cannot be opened, while it also disappears in different ways, from 2 to 4 days;
• in addition to edema, bruises may appear on the eyelids (if the master damages the vessel): for some they are small, for others they are huge, this is an unpredictable factor; bruising can last up to 7 days;
• the moment of healing is very uncomfortable: the eyelids begin to itch terribly, but this cannot be done;
• some girls have experienced loss of eyelashes.

Eye Tattoo - Arrows

Arrows help girls to correct the shape of the eyes. It is with the help of them that you can visually correct disharmony in appearance, for example, visually bring wide-set eyes closer together and, conversely, increase the distance in close-set ones. But this type of tattoo has one unpleasant feature - it gets boring quickly. Many who made it, called this point the main disadvantage, advising to do a tattoo without arrows, so that later they leave themselves the right to choose. After all, if you want, you can always finish the ponytails yourself, but having done it, you cannot get rid of them. Therefore, if you are not a conservative and prefer to experiment, then it is better to refuse arrows.

In addition, there is a risk that the master will draw them unevenly. As evil, this factor will be conspicuous and, accordingly, spoil the mood. Think 100 times before deciding.

Let's present clear examples of how eye tattoo looks.

How to remove swelling and bruising after eye tattooing

Having decided to make a permanent makeup for the eyelids, it is advisable to postpone it until a vacation or a long weekend. However, one of the peculiarities of us women is the inability to wait, and we want to do everything and preferably tomorrow. Then there is no time to wait for the edema to disappear on its own, and it must be removed urgently. In this case, try one of the methods below.

• Taking antihistamines: Suprastin; Cetirizine; Fenkarol. Of course, like any other medicine, you should also consult your doctor before taking these.
• A hormonal ointment is applied to the eyelids. One of those that give a good result is Hydrocortisone.
• Apply cold to the eyelids, preferably dry.
• If the puffiness is very strong and does not go away for a long time, then you can neglect the contraindication to moisture and make lotions with decoctions of a string or chamomile.

After tattooing, you can also consult with a specialist who will share his experience and, possibly, suggest his own methods of dealing with puffiness.

Care after eye tattoo

Some girls complain that the final result, which became visible immediately after healing, did not suit them and even disappointed them. But few people think that, in addition to the master, the subsequent care of tattooing.

The skin of the eyelids is very delicate, and punctures with a needle for it are real stress and severe trauma. This manifests itself in the form of puffiness that does not leave for two to five days. The rehabilitation process can also be painful: any contact with the eyelids can be accompanied by unpleasant sensations.

A correctly performed procedure implies the edema disappearing after 24-28 hours. To shorten the rehabilitation period as much as possible, it is recommended to take anti-inflammatory and antihistamines.

In the very near future, a crust will appear on the eyelids, which many strive to rip off, thinking that this will only help healing, but in fact this is a serious mistake fraught with unpleasant consequences. First, by tearing off the crust, you can disrupt the process of fixing the paint in the epidermis. This will lead to the fact that together with it you will rip off the paint itself and the tattoo will be with bald spots. Secondly, in this way you can bring in an infection that will cause eye diseases, possibly even very serious ones.

In addition to those already listed, try to listen to the following tips as much as possible:

• postpone outdoor activities and sports for a while until the eyelids are completely healed;
• injured eyes can catch conjunctivitis, the risk is especially high if you walk in a strong wind or be in the epicenter of a draft;
• do not wet the injured area, if there is a need to clean your eyes - use a damp cloth that does not contain alcohol - you cannot rub your eyes;
• at the time of healing, give up baths, saunas, solarium and sunbathing, it is also not recommended to visit the pool for an obvious reason;
• for a quick descent of the crust, lubricate it with ointment, which the master will advise you, as a rule, they contain petroleum jelly in their composition;
• while your eyelids heal, try to sleep on your back instead of on your stomach.

Remember, you can fully appreciate the work of the master only after three to four weeks. It is not entirely correct to criticize it earlier than this period, since the color and shape will appear precisely by this time. Do not be alarmed by minor flaws, all this is solved with the help of correction, which is necessary in 90% of cases.

It also happens that the skin completely refuses to accept the pigment, rejecting it even after correction. In this case, you should not blame the master - this is a feature of the body.

How long does the eye tattoo last

The durability of tattooing directly depends on the body, age and lifestyle that the client leads. For some, it disappears after 3-4 years. However, there are cases when the tattoo lasted for 13 years. Of course, it faded a little, but it was quite noticeable. The younger the girl, the less the tattoo will "sit" and vice versa. This is directly related to the increased metabolism of a young organism. Frequent visits to saunas and baths also have a negative effect on the time of wearing a tattoo, just like peeling.

Correction of eye tattoo

First correction tattoo occurs immediately after the first healing. Then the master looks at how the paint has laid down, if there are any flaws or irregularities, and closes them. The second and subsequent corrections are made at the request of the client. As soon as you notice that the paint has become paler and you have a craving for freshening your makeup - go ahead. It is very good if you refer to the same master as the first time.
