Cosmetic Tattooing

Eyebrow Tattoo Surgery

Although sometimes cosmetic eyebrow tattooing is a necessary step in the reconstruction of a face following a traumatic accident, it can also be used for patients who have sparse eyebrows and do not want to apply brow liner daily. Most of the time, these patients are women who are concerned about the way that their eyebrows frame their face. Some patients are allergic to cosmetics or have poor eyesight and cannot apply their makeup correctly. In these and other cases, cosmetic eyebrow tattooing is a viable option. Sometimes the tattoo is a permanent tattoo done purely for cosmetic purposes.

Eyebrow tattooing became popular in the 1920s along with the pencil thin eyebrow and the advent of the silent film era. Today plastic surgeons, cosmetologists, tattoo artists, aestheticians and nurses practice the art of the "eyebrow cosmetic tattoo".

The ideal candidate for cosmetic eyebrow tattooing is one that is in good health and has realistic expectations of the procedure. The cosmetic eyebrow procedure will not return the area to a completely normal look, but will make the overall appearance of the patient more refined and balanced. Patients, who are allergic or sensitive to makeup, have skin or hair loss disorders, illnesses, or just lack the time to put on makeup are all considered good candidates for the cosmetic eyebrow tattooing.

Cosmetic tattoo techniques can be traced to an ancient art. And cosmetic eyebrow tattooing is practically as old as civilization itself. Beautifying one's body is one of the most conscious aesthetic attempts by humans.       Evidence of cosmetic tattooing is found on mummies from ancient Mediterranean cultures. Perhaps they knew even back then how important the eyebrows are when it comes to serving as a “frame” for the eyes.

eyebrow tattoo expert will tattoo individual lines to represent individual hairs to give a more natural looking tattooed eyebrow result. Unfortunately, some tattoo “artists” will apply eyebrows as a solid block of color. Because the face is so exposed to scrutiny by others, solid color blocks are not an appropriate method of tattooing eyebrows. Solid tattoo eyebrows look rather artificial. If you are     considering eyebrow tattooing, ask the tattoo artist to show you some pictures of their prior eyebrow work. Make sure you like what you see before having your eyebrows tattooed. If the results of a tattoo are not good, it is quite difficult to correct them.
