PERMANENT EYELINER - Eyeliner Tattoos: Cool or Too Painful

I have really been considering permanent eyeliner but there a few things holding me back from jumping on board and getting my eyeliner tattoos done. First off there's the issue of pain (anybody that tells you that tattoos don't hurt at least a little, depending on the area of application, is lying to you!) and I'm a sissy when it comes to pain.

The idea of a tattoo artist working my wrist, my arm or my ankle is one thing, but the idea of burning sensations on my sensitive eyelid is slightly more daunting.



Why would a panty waist such as myself even consider getting an eyeliner tattoo?

EXCELLENT REASONS TO GET PERMANENT EYELINER


REASON 1. I am afraid that I'm going to have crepey (read: creepy) eyelids if I keep pulling them tight in the everyday process of eyeliner application.

REASON 2. I hate those smudgy raccoon eyes that must be dealt with the morning after. We don't always have it in us to practice proper skincare procedures at 2am, do we?

REASON 3. A tattoo would naturally be the best waterproof eyeliner ever!

So what's holding me back on getting tattoos on my eyelids?

EYELINER TATTOO NEGATIVES


REASON 1. The possibility of pain. I understand that some artists apply a numbing gel, but why do some of my friends say it hurt like hell and others say that the painkilling concoction does the trick?

REASON 2. I am told that the ink has a tendency to fade and the application of cover up eyeliner may be necessary to make your eyes always seem even and identical

REASON 3. I worry that what I want today in eyeliner fashions may go out of style and I'll be stuck with a Cleopatra eyeliner technique when the trends run toward a minimalist or natural look.

I would like to hear your opinions. Vote yes or no or whatever; just tell me what I should do before all of the elasiticity goes out of my eyelids!
