Permanent makeup for someone with dry eyes?

I have very dry eyes and use restasis plus lubricating drops and ointment at night. Would permanent makeup (eyeliner) affect my dry eyes, or would the treatment for dry eyes affect the makeup?

the treatment for your dry eyes will have no negative effect on permanent eyeliner. I strongly suggest you not let a technician NOT talk you in to having your 'wetline' tattooed. Tell your technician you have dry eye syndrome and she should have a new tube of your night time lubricating gel on hand..put some in your eyes before she numbs your eyelids. Tissue off any excess so the anesthetic doesnt run into your eye. Choose your technician wisely.
