Permanent Makeup Eyebrows

A doctor friend of mine told me that tattoos darken with age. I'm thinking about getting my eyebrows tattooed, but don't want dark eyebrows when my hair turns gray. Any thoughts?

Natural pigments lighten with time

If your esthetician or nurse uses natural pigments, they will actually lighten with time.  In fact, permanent makeup is probably a misnomer.  It is actually semi-permanent makeup, as it will fade sufficiently to require touch up in about 5 to 10 years.
