Permanent makeup (PMU) is a cosmetic tattooing procedure that involves implanting coloured pigments into the skin using a tattoo machine and needle, to enhance your facial features, most commonly eyebrows, lips and eyeliner. Also known as semi-permanent makeup (SPMU), micropigmentation, cosmetic tattooing.
The perfect crisp line tattooed along either your top or bottom lash line between the roots of your eyelashes. This eyeliner is great for fair clients or those that don’t typically wear eyeliner everyday but would like to enhance their eyes, making their lashes appear more full and dense.
A defined winged eyeliner is perfect for those who like a bit more drama and are already used to wearing liquid winged eyeliner everyday. Eyeliners like this tend to be a lot more permanent because the pigment extends into areas that are less likely to fade. The position of the wing will be pre-drawn and discussed prior to being tattooed. Please be aware that we cannot safely tattoo pass your crease, anything bigger than this will have to be added with makeup once the tattoo has healed.

Eyeliner tattoos typically last between 1 to 3 years. The exact duration can vary depending on factors like skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. A lash enhancement eyeliner is more natural looking therefore will fade out quicker than a thicker winged eyeliner for example.
Everyone has a different pain threshold therefore one client might find it a more comfortable than the next. Some discomfort can be expected alongside swelling and tenderness but products are used to keep you as comfortable as possible and aid the healing process.
Absolutely! In fact you are the perfect candidate for this treatment. Dry eye syndrome makes wearing eyeliner difficult because the flow of tears causes your makeup to run. Having it tattooed means it won’t ever budge!
Yes and no! Whilst winged eyeliner is not achievable there are other styles of eyeliner that are! For example a classic eyeliner or lash enhancement eyeliner (top and or bottom). In order for tattooed eyeliner to enhance the eyes and not exaggerate the heaviness caused by hoods (excess skin), Katie must carefully consider the desired thickness and placement. When done correctly, eyeliner can create a lifted and defined look, opening up the eyes rather than having to hide behind them. Another benefit for people with hooded eyes is that tattoos cannot smudge unlike liquid or pencil eyeliner. No more disappearing or smudged eyeliner!
