I'm tortured w/the idea of eyebrow tattooing! I have very fine hair in the eyebrow department. Once every so often I get my eyebrows threaded to add shape and w/the right tools I fill in my brows to add fullness. I'm not sure if eyebrow tattooing is the right answer for me & I've seen some horrible tattooed brows so it makes me nervous to consider something so permanent. I'm also big on a natural beauty look so I'm wondering if I were to get tattooed brows; how natural would that look? Guidance & advice please!!

Awwww, thanx Jordan L. Luv your attitude about tattoos...I know I'm guilty of some serious heavy body art! Okay, I'll lay off the idea of eyebrow tattooing & own/work w/what I have. A good eyebrow wax, threading once in awhile, & good shadow to fill in.

Jordan - If it's the feathered permanent brown tatt I'm not sold either. Looks cheap but I'll definitely YouTube it to be sure.

Mena - I googled 3D eyebrow tattoos...they look amazing; natural looking. 3D brows is something I'm going to research in detail. I reside in Canada so locating a decent place here is going to take some time...we're always a few years behind w/what we offer. Thanx again for all the advice!!

@navi S try makeup forever aqua brow! I love it! It's waterproof, so when my skin gets oily it doesn't come off. Also you can try powder from a brow kit and fill them in.

Stephanie - Thanx, I'll product search that. Anything to keep the eyebrows looking good. So important to me to have the right eyebrows; frames the face! The product you've recommended sounds promising...I'm a fitness trainer so I like to look for make-up that last!

There was a post on this subject before I think many of us said no.it fades,turns like a ugly green n to me its to fake.I think your brows are really attractive n real.Many men love your kind of look n women probably envious cuz your very naturally pretty why mess up your face with that mess.

Jordan - From what I've been googling...the first initial look of the tattooed brow looks amazing...it's the pictures I googled of the later; the brows aren't looking so good & it seems they will need a lot of maintenance.

Stephanie & Jordan - The aqua brow seems promising; ensures that touch of perfection is added to the brow. Thanx!

No to green! How awful!

Lola - Thank you! A compliment from one female to another is always appreciated & truly sincere. I think I just jumped to conclusions w/my brows (when they grow in from threading; they look like shapeless hairy mess) but better that than green.

And I agree with you; natural organic look is true beauty. I do love makeup & playing up what features I have but keeping it real & natural is key.

Thanx again...you just gave me a extra boost of confidence to wear my face; brows n' all! :)

I say really really think about it and what they will look like 10 years from now. I am a certified permanent makeup and makeup artist, and if there is one area I try very hard NOT to do, its the brows. Even with the most awesome natural methods, the brows over time will bleed and fade into one really almost unattractive brow. There are ways to keep them from turning blue or greenish, but the time and age factor will always work against you. You WILL need retouching, which also leads to one solid looking brow and any scarring that might have occurred from inexperience or carelessness will only add to the frustration. This is your face, one slip, one slight jump or movement could result in permanent, unwanted, unfixable, inerasable, consequences. I an very direct and to the point when consulting for permanent eyebrow application. Your beautiful and have nice brows. There are lots of ways to take care of the imperfections that you see. And remember it goes across the board, from traditional to HD to Aqua whatever. In 10-15 years they will pretty much all look the same.

My gf has had eyebrows tattooed on and the person kinda messed up but her hair grew right back. Its good for keeping your brows in line in between waxing. But as any tattoo without a black outline, it will eventually fade and be unnoticable.

And to avoid going to someone who is inexperienced, look at reviews and look at their portfolio.

Danielle - Thanx! Good to know of others' experiences.

You are pretty, I wouldn't do it because there are so many things that could go wrong. and for me, I don't always go with the same brow shape. so leave your brows as is...great!

Dominique - (I lovethat name) Thank You for the compliment & suggestion. It's awesome to have sincere honest comments.

I know this post is old but just wanted to comment. You can get them naturally done and there are cosmetic tattoo where they fade faster, great for those who don't want it so dark and permanent. Google hairstrokes and embroidery. Since you have some brow hairs, hairstrokes will look nice on you. Permanent makeup nowadays are different from the years that our moms and grandmas got theirs done. If you have any questions on permanent makeup or embroidery, feel free to ask me. I'm a hairstroke brow embroidery specialist.
