Let it fade on it's own

John LoMonaco, MD answers: What's the best way to lighten permanent under eye eyeliner?

How can I have my permenant under eye eyeliner lightened up a bit from the dark shade I now have. I dont want it removed. I live in Spokane Washington. Could you refer me to someone here? Can it not be tatooed over with a much lighter shade?

Even the laser treatments can cause unpredictable changes in the coloration so you want to avoid that.

There are other methods to lighten the colors, but again be very careful as they can also be unpredictable.

A  person experienced in the tattooing can go over it with a darker color but "lightening" it generally cannot be done by reapplying color.
