Permanent eye makeup is dangerous. Why I am categorically against eyebrow tattooing - personal experience and comments of cosmetologists Is it harmful to do permanent makeup

Probably, each of us has such a friend or acquaintance who likes to experiment with her appearance, keeps up with the times and experiences almost all fashionable novelties. I also have such a friend Katya. Sometimes she manages to persuade me to try something new on myself, sometimes not. I, unlike her, do not conduct experiments without first studying the product or service, and without reading the reviews.

This time, the idea came to her blond head to get an eyebrow tattoo. Before that, she made herself a tattoo on her shoulder and on her ankle.

I immediately refused a tattoo, because I absolutely do not like tattoos and consider them vulgar. Especially on the female body. But her body is her business. And now she calls me and happily talks about the delights of eyebrow tattooing: how convenient it is (like you don’t have to pluck it every week), beautiful, practical, and most importantly for a long time . A friend of mine did it and she's very happy with it. Well, Katya could not help but try, and she was very determined, but I, as usual, began to doubt and began to collect information about this procedure.

How is eyebrow tattoo done?

To begin with, there are several eyebrow tattooing (coloring) techniques: shading, shotting, hair (European and Asian style), 3D volume and manual reconstruction. I will not describe each technique in detail, but only describe the principle of this procedure. And those who still decide to make themselves a tattoo will study each technique on their own and choose the right one.

Skin coloring is carried out by a tattoo artist or cosmetologist who has the appropriate skills and has received special training for this procedure. During the procedure, a specialist, using a manipulative pen, pierces the top layer of the skin and injects a coloring pigment with a needle. The procedure takes about 1.5 hours. The procedure is quite painful, judging by the reviews. Although local anesthetics are used. After it, it is necessary to go through a rehabilitation period and carefully care for the treated area. .

In 99 percent of cases, after a short period of time, correction will be required to give the perfect shape to your eyebrows.

The choice of the master who will do the tattoo is extremely important. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with his portfolio, if any. . Or go to the master on the recommendation of friends who he already had.

Pros and cons of eyebrow tattooing

Eyebrow tattooing, like any other procedure, has its pros and cons. Let's figure it out, so these pluses are significant.

The advantages include:

1. Save time on make-up.
2. Savings on various eyebrow products.
3. Save money on visiting salons for eyebrow tinting.
4. Tattoo is long term.
5. Tattooed eyebrows are noticeable.
6. The ability to correct the natural asymmetry of the eyebrows.
7. Tattooed eyebrows will not let you down in the sauna, swimming pool or on the beach, because the paint will not flow from them during any water procedures.

Cons of eyebrow tattooing:

• Tattooed eyebrows are noticeable.
• Go out of fashion.
• The coloring pigment may change color over time; which means that black eyebrows can become blue, brown - brick or pink; some pigments can give a green or purple tint. The saddest thing is that this unwanted shade on the skin can persist for years.
• Tattooing will become a problem when changing hair color or wanting to change the shape of the eyebrows.
• May get bored.
• Over the years, it can “float”, that is, sink along with the tissues of the face
• risk of infection.
• Adds age.
• It's no longer fashionable.
• The only way to get rid of it is with a laser.
• High probability of getting an unsatisfactory result.
• The high price of this procedure (and further regular corrections).

In my opinion, the listed pluses are rather dubious, with the exception, perhaps, of the last two points.

If the eyebrows are extremely unsuccessful by nature, then perhaps it is worth correcting them. Although, in my opinion, this can be done in a more gentle way than tattooing. As for saving on salons and funds, then let me: what kind of savings is this if the procedure itself is not cheap at all, plus the same expensive regular corrections. In addition, after the procedure, a rehabilitation period follows, during which you will also need to spend money to restore the affected skin. I do not think that all of the above will be cheaper than buying an eyebrow pencil or dyeing your eyebrows in the salon.

On average, the price of a quality tattoo varies within 20,000 rubles per procedure. Correction within - 8000-10000. If you are offered to get an eyebrow tattoo for 5,000 rubles, the risk of getting a poor-quality result increases significantly.

You were probably surprised that the item “tattooed eyebrows are noticeable”, I attributed it to both pluses and minuses. Let me explain. Noticeable bright eyebrows suggest bright eyes, otherwise it will look comical. And the statement that eyebrow tattooing will save time on makeup is definitely false. In my opinion, just the opposite tattooed eyebrows oblige you to do makeup regularly and you are unlikely to run out without makeup . Well, unless you plan, of course, to scare or make your colleagues at work laugh.

Eyebrow tattoo contraindications

There are contraindications to this procedure.

• Diabetes.
• Blood diseases.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Skin diseases.
• Predisposition to the formation of keloid scars.

Never hide the presence of diseases from a specialist. This is dangerous not only for your beauty, but also for your health in general!

My friend's personal experience

Now about the results of the tattoo, which I personally observed and am sincerely glad that I did not succumb to Katerina's persuasion. I can only speak about the procedure itself from the words of a friend: it turned out to be very painful. And the result was just terrible.

I do not know who advised her this "specialist", but her eyebrows were made very wide. I then measured the width of the eyebrows - 7 mm. Katya is a very petite girl and her face is small, and those eyebrows looked like a real disaster on her face. She cried for a very long time both from the result and from what then began to happen to her eyebrows.

The first two weeks, the eyebrows were covered with a crust and itched terribly. They had to be processed with special means, which are assigned individually (as the master said). After all the crusts came off, the result became clearly visible, and it was frankly unsuccessful. . Katya went to the master to evaluate his work himself. The master was pleased and said that everything looks great, but in some places it needs to be corrected. I signed up for a correction: again a crust, itching, treatment, tears.

Now Katya is saving up money to remove those terrible eyebrows from her face with a laser, but for now she has to mask them with special means and draw new eyebrows on top. Here is such an unsuccessful experiment she turned out.

What do cosmetologists say about eyebrow tattooing?

You will be surprised, but cosmetologists unanimously argue that if there is no special need, then it is better to refuse it.

There are only a couple of exceptions: obvious natural asymmetry and scars.

All other arguments, according to cosmetologists, are not convincing. In addition, they offer a completely reasonable way out for those who still do not want to dye their eyebrows daily - this is henna.

Absolutely natural and harmless way. And the color range is quite wide: from golden to dark brown. In addition, when dyeing eyebrows with henna, you will not only give them color, but also strengthen them thanks to the beneficial properties of henna.

Cosmetologists are convinced that naturalness and naturalness, correctly emphasized with a minimum of cosmetics, looks much more attractive than tattooed eyebrows, eyes, lips and other things. .

Are you still deciding whether to do it or not? Then look at the photos of girls on the Internet before and after eyebrow tattooing. Your doubts will be completely dispelled.

Which of the fair sex, regardless of age, does not dream of "eternal" beauty? Not spending half an hour on makeup, having a flawless eyebrow shape to the envy of your friends, and forgetting about painful plucking is everyone's dream. And eyebrows, the most expressive part of the face, very rarely differ from nature in an impeccable shape and color. Permanent makeup seems to be a way out of the situation, but some are afraid of the possible consequences. Let's see if eyebrow tattooing is harmful and what the consequences may be after it.

Every girl has heard about permanent makeup of eyebrows, eyes and lips, and many have thought about resorting to such a procedure. But the question of whether tattooing is harmful to them remains relevant, and the forums are filled with conflicting information.

A modern procedure - permanent make-up (or tattooing) is performed by introducing a coloring substance of natural and safe origin under the outer layer of the skin. This cosmetic procedure is popular and affordable, and is offered today in every salon.

The procedure is painless and is performed by special professional equipment. The cosmetologist competently selects the tone of paint, which most accurately suits the type, shade of the face, hair and eyes. If, then their shape, thickness are carefully selected, all this is agreed with the client, and only then is the procedure done.

The result is a perfect brow makeup that does not have to be touched up. The tattoo lasts for five years, periodically it is worth making a correction so that the eyebrows look perfect.

Possible risks

Eyebrow, lip and eye tattooing is extremely popular today, and its benefits are obvious. However, many girls and women are afraid to resort to this procedure. There are many myths and even creepy stories about the dangers and negative consequences of tattooing, but is it true?

In general, this method is safe, there is no real risk to health and beauty, if everything is done by a professional, in the proper conditions. Many "craftsmen" can tell you how to do this procedure yourself, at home. But every self-respecting woman who is not going to spoil her face will never resort to such a method. Only in a beauty salon, and with a proven master!

Tattooing has contraindications that you need to know. Among them:

• poor blood clotting;
• somatic diseases;
• acute inflammatory processes;
• epilepsy;
• skin diseases;
• oncological diseases and neoplasms;
• mental disorders.

It is also worth refraining from the procedure for pregnant women, nursing mothers, girls with high blood pressure.. During the menstrual cycle, it is better to wait for it to end, and then go to the beautician.

It is extremely important to make sure in advance that there is no allergy to those components that will be used during tattooing. To do this, you need to test the drug for allergies, and after that you can safely use it.

Ideally, consult with your doctor, get a detailed consultation, and, if necessary, take tests. Take the time and do not be too lazy to properly prepare for the procedure, especially when it comes to eye or eyebrow tattooing.

Where to get a tattoo

If you decide, the next important step is the choice of a beauty salon and a master. And the price here is not a criterion! The desire to save money can lead to sad results, this procedure is already quite affordable, and choosing the cheapest place is risky.

What you need to know when choosing a salon:

1. Choose a beauty salon that has a license for permanent make-up of lips, eyes and eyebrows. Feel free to demand that you be shown this document - and without it, do not agree, and look for another place.
2. The salon must have official hygiene certificates for all equipment and materials that will be used in eye or eyebrow tattooing. If they are not, then low-quality or cheap materials and non-professional equipment are used. It is very dangerous!
3. An autoclave is required to sterilize instruments.

How to choose a master

Tattoo must be performed by an experienced and competent specialist. A beautician can give you divine beauty, or ruin your whole face, you are actually given into his hands. So choose carefully:

• a good cosmetologist will not persuade you to do the procedure, saying that you definitely need to fix your eyebrows;
• the professional is constantly improving, has a certificate of special training, and other documents that confirm his competence;
• beautician will definitely take the time for a consultation. The master will help you decide on the shade and shape of the eyebrows, advise, select the perfect option. A good master will never push you, or get annoyed that you cannot finally decide and make a choice for a long time. A professional always understands how important this step is for a woman;
• the specialist will definitely ask you, in detail and thoroughly, about the state of health and its features. He will also warn about contraindications, describe in detail the procedure and all the nuances.

If you have any doubts, or you came to the salon, and the beautician offers you to start without any questions - confidently look for another place and, of course, another specialist.

Eyebrow tattooing is far from a new service in cosmetology. Permanent makeup, despite modern techniques and the compositions used, has not managed to acquire absolute safety and sparseness for medical reasons.

Like any tattoo, the introduction of a coloring pigment into the eyebrow area is performed using a manipulative needle subcutaneously, to a depth of 1 mm. The depth of color injection directly depends on the type of skin and the durability of the desired result, however, damage to the upper layer of the epidermis cannot be avoided.

Permanent makeup is an invasion of the human circulatory and immune system, so the question of whether eyebrow tattooing is harmful to the client is decided taking into account not only his personal wishes, but also full awareness of the patient's health status.

About the procedure

For a classic tattoo, you need:

1. Medical room with disposable instruments and instruments properly disinfected.
2. A qualified master who has certificates of admission to the service.
3. Professional coloring compositions and compositions with anesthetic, with a valid expiration date.

For an experienced master, the procedure takes no more than 30 minutes, taking into account the coordination of the shape and color of the eyebrows.

Modern anesthetics for permanent makeup and the fineness of the needles - maniples allow us to consider the method painless, but in practice it all depends on the client's sensitivity and psychological preparation for the tattoo.

Given the popularity of eyebrow tattooing, at present, every beauty salon and hairdresser offers this service, along with specialized tattoo parlors.

In addition, there are a huge number of pseudo-masters who, at home or on a visit to a client, offer to get a tattoo done at a low price. The question of whether eyebrow tattooing is harmful, in the case of a master at home, is usually missed. Unfortunately, in this case, it is impossible to fully maintain sterility, as well as to prove the incompetent work or mistake of the master.

Criteria for an ideal tattoo, and is tattooing harmful for you?

An ideal permanent make-up is a combination of even symmetrical lines and shapes, suitable design, a short recovery period and a complete absence of skin inflammation and blood poisoning in the post-period.

In this regard, the issue of preparing for a permanent and finding out whether tattooing is harmful for you, as well as whether your body will tolerate an invasion of the immune system, should be clarified in advance.

Tattooing has a long-term effect, so you need to be prepared for the fact that within three to five years you will need to partially repeat the procedure several times in order to correct it.

Why is eyebrow tattoo harmful?

The question is whether eyebrow tattooing is harmful and to what extent, in the absence of contraindications to it, every future client of a tattoo artist asks, in anticipation of an ideal long-term make-up.

The most common consequences of eyebrow tattooing are exacerbation of chronic infections or infection with new ones.

In the first case, the appearance of herpes or dermatitis can be caused by both a weakening of the client's immune system and a lack of compliance with sanitary standards. In the second case, the reason is the lack of disposable instruments, the procedure bypassing medical standards and requirements for working with skin and blood.

In the case of a non-sterile procedure, the harm, of course, is greater than the benefit.

Possible risks

When deciding to get a tattoo, you should be aware that any tattoo carries the risk of infection with pathogens of various infectious diseases (including HIV, hepatitis and other infections). The damage from such manipulation will require a long and costly recovery period.

Make sure that all tools and consumables are sterilized by the master!

Eyebrow tattoo contraindications

Like any medical intervention in the epidermis and circulatory system, all tattoo techniques have a number of absolute contraindications that apply to both the initial service and subsequent corrections:

1. Any diseases of the circulatory system, acute viral diseases during the period of exacerbation and 7 days after.
2. Cardiovascular diseases,
3. Oncology, autoimmune diseases, epilepsy, chronic mental disorders,
4. The tendency to form keloid scars, the presence of warts, warts, deep wounds and burns on the face.
5. Pregnancy 1.3 trimester, lactation period, as well as the client's age up to 14 years.

The question of the use of anesthesia and subcutaneous administration of coloring compounds during pregnancy and lactation, as well as in adolescence, remains open due to the lack of proper research. However, an increased tendency to allergies, a weakened immune system, an increased pain threshold, a long process of tissue regeneration, combined with a high risk of exacerbation or infection, determine the answer to the question “is eyebrow tattooing harmful?”

Ignoring the presence of contraindications dangerous for health and threatens to aggravate the general condition, a protracted post-rehabilitation period and distort the expected result from the tattoo.

conclusions

Evaluating all the pros and cons of the procedure, weighing the benefits and possible harm , as well as making conclusions for yourself about the absence of contraindications for health, you should carefully approach the choice of a salon and a tattoo master.

The question "Is eyebrow tattoo harmful?" conceived depends on the human factor. It is not worth saving on the cost of the service, as well as blindly relying on a high price without making sure that there are certificates, licenses for activities and medical equipment.

A professional will definitely find out the features of your health, take the time to prepare in detail and describe the procedure / its nuances, offer various options for the shape and color of the eyebrows, and also acquaint you with the composition of the drugs used.

Beauty is a valuable wealth, so a serious approach to choosing a tattoo procedure and masters will provide you with not only flawless lasting makeup, but will not harm your health.
