I had permanent eyeliner done 3 times in 5 years. It doesn't last and shouldn't be called permanent. In less than 2 years it fades to nothing and has to be redone. The worst part is that the scar tissue that forms as a result of the tattoo does not tan and now, 10 years later I still have what looks like white eyeliner during the summer months. If I had it to do over I would not have done it.

My rating:
The company I used was probably as good or better than most, but NO ONE tells you that you WILL have scarring in the area treated, and NO ONE tells you that it doesn't last.

As a professional cosmetic tattoo artist I always do an extensive consultation with my clients. Yours should have told you that fading will be expected. All color fades.The sun is the biggest factor but also the condition of ones skin and the skill of your technician(a note to the flaking off experience) Body art fades slower because primary colors are used. In permanent makeup tertiary colors are used to mimic makeup. The lighter your color the sooner it will fade. As far as the scarring, your technician was not properly trained. Overworking the skin should never happen. The public needs to recognize as should those looking into learning permanent makeup, that this is a tattoo. It cannot be learned in 5 days.I am in hopes that Body Art type apprenticeships will someday soon be the norm for those looking to get into the trade. The public needs to be educated. Do your homework. Would you go to any cosmetic surgeon?, no. Ask allot of questions, look at photos of their "healed" work. Ask them if it is there's.Ask about the length of training and do they seek advanced training. Don't trust your face to just anyone.
Permanent Makeup can be beautiful and even undetectable, when done properly.
Hi janet,
Oddly enough this seems pretty common. You should check out the forum My Permanent Makeup Flaked Off and Faded, it might help.
Thank you!
