How Does Permanent Lash Liner Look?
The pigments used in lash liner tattoos are different from traditional tattoo ink. While traditional ink creates a hard line, modern pigments create a softer, more powdery look that is closer to actual makeup. It is also different from traditional tattoos because the pigment is only deposited into the first few layers of skin while a tattoo elsewhere on the body would go much deeper.
Is Permanent Lash Liner Safe?
Permanent eyeliner is considered safe when done by a professional. However, though the pigments are different, the process is the same as it would be for a traditional tattoo. This means precautions must be taken. For example, we ask that clients not take any medications or supplements that will thin the blood for at least 72 hours before the treatment. This helps to minimize excessive bleeding.
How Long Does Permanent Lash Eyeliner Last?
Though it is called permanent, most tattooed eyeliner will last around a year. This may be slightly more or less for some, but this is the average. After a year, you will typically need to have your liner refreshed or it will fade entirely.

Choose Your Liner Shape
Tight Lash Liner: When the pigment is applied at the lash line, it gives your eyes subtle definition that can enhance any makeup look. It helps to darken the base of your lashes as well as define your eye shape.
Above the Lash Line: If you like the look of a defined line above your eye or a cat eye liner, then this is the best option for you. It is important to note that this is best for people who already like to wear this look on a daily basis. Keep in mind that it will be difficult to cover the liner if you decide you do not want a makeup look that includes a defined liner.
Eyeliner for Lash Extensions
Liner tattooing can be beneficial to those with lash extensions as many eye makeup products can weaken your extensions. Combining permanent eyeliner with your extensions can give you a perfect eye makeup look that takes no time.
Note: If you do want to use a traditional makeup product with your extensions, powder based eyeliners are best. To ensure you get the most from your lashes, look for an eyeliner for lash extensions that does not contain oil.
