Now THAT makes me nervous....
Boy oh boy.... lots to think about with eyebrows and eyeliner.
My eyebrows have always been dark,(maybe yours are light) and now I'm seeing the grey that's infiltrating. What do you do then? Dye the grey to match your tattooed brow? Mine would really stand out against a darker background. Pluck the greys? Help me here, seems like MORE maintenance, rather than less.
I became acquainted at a party one evening, with a woman who had both eyebrows and eyeliner. She owned a studio that offered that service (and much more, like lips, lashes, etc.).
She had very nice features naturally.... and artistically, the tattoos were perfect, but the effect was awful. I'm telling you, people stared at her from every angle, from every corner of the party and most avoided talking to her. They assumed she was goofy, and thought the man who brought her must be even goofier. I spent time with her. I had to make a determined effort to focus on what she was saying and give her eye contact. I kept wanting to stare at the tattoos. I thought she had ruined her natural attractiveness.
I am a painter. Have done a lot of portraits, so I have studied faces. If the tattoo doesn't look good to begin with, up close, I truly don't think that over time, as our faces "evolve", that it will look any better or stay exactly where it's put. As a painter, I would paint individual hairs to make a brow. I don't think you can do that with a tattoo needle, as the color is punched in dots.
I know this is extreme, but think Keith Richards, LaToya Jackson, Ozzie Osborn.... then and now. Not so pretty good looking.
But I DO have an idea.... would henna work for your brows? You may have seen henna patterns painted on the hands of women who attend East Indian weddings. Beautiful patterns that last for a good while.... could you try painting little brow hairs in first, and see how that works? I don't think it would be safe for eyeliner, though.... brows ONLY.
