Tattooed eyebrows, anyone?
Permalink Closed

I've been contemplating whether to get my eyebrows tattooed or not.
I have very little body hair all over, never shaved my legs, ever!
I have one strand of hair on my knee and sorry if this grosses you out,
but I let it grow... I call it my pet hair.... Just enough in other
places(!) to not look weird....

With time, I've learned and had enough chances to practice penciling
them in. I do a pretty darn good job too. I don't hate my natural
eyebrows -or lack of-, just wish I had more so I don't look too "empty"
after I wash my face or go swimming and stuff.

Anyway, I love my facial lady(she's super picky when it comes to skin care
and so am I) and she recommended a tattoo artist
who specializes in eyebrow tattoos. Her clients' age ranges between
20 - 70 year-olds... Been wanting to get one but I'm super prudent
when it comes to things like these ... was wondering if anyone has
ever gotten one? Recommends or against? Anyone who knows my agony?

Thanks for reading my post. Kinda feeling super chatty today.

i have never seen this look good. i would recommend tinting your eyebrows instead. less permanent, and looks natural.

I agree with erin - since your natural color is so light, the chances of them looking natural after being tatooed are slim to none.  Have them tinted, and follow up with a tinted brow gel.

My MIL had it done and she looks scary. She also has her lips and eyes lined. It looks very unnatural, almost drag queen/exaggerated. I personally wouldn't do it.

I agree with everyone else. I think it would be scary-harsh. I think the tinting would be a good idea though.


I would just be terrified that it wouldnt be exactly how I expected.. then what? You are stuck with it!

You know how old tattoos on old guys look? Faded, navy blue, kinda blurry....well that would be your eyebrows years down the road! Please don't do it-I'm sure your beautiful without it!

My MIL and her mom both have tatooed eyebrows. My MIL's are too dark. They looked fine when she was younder adn wore her hair dark, but now she is wearing her hair lighter and they don't look good. And, when she goes gray, she will have dark brow eyebrows. Her mothers are even worse, the color is off and the shape is terrible. She always look surprised.


I would do the tinting too, or just look a little washed out when you do get out of the pool and learn to live with it. If you do want to have it done, take someone with you that will help with the shape, and go lighter than you think, you can always have them done darker, but lightening them later isn't possible.


I have my eyebrows tinted, and it always looks great. However if you have sensitive skin, make sure you don't wax and tint on the same day. I had a bad reaction.

Thank you all for your opinion. I guess I needed to hear it over and over. I don't know what I was thinking. I know some old ladies with old tattoos and indeed they look blue and scary... I won't do it but look into getting them tinted. Thanks!

Two of my aunts did this. One liked how it turned out. It doesn't look unnatural on her at all. The other one cried after she got this done because her eyebrows turned out darker than she expected.


Personally, I wouldn't do it. I think the others' suggestions for eyebrow tinting is a better alternative.
