Sparse Brows? -- Try eyebrow tattoos


Like tattooed lipstick and eyeliner, an eyebrow tattoo is a type of makeup that is permanent. If you have sparse brows and are tired of continuously applying eye pencil and other products to fill in your brows, you may want to do some research on a more permanent solution.

An eyebrow tattoo can be applied either manually with a hand-held needle or with a tattoo gun. While a tattoo gun is faster, it applies the pigment in more solid blocks of color to the eyebrow area. This can create a more artificial look, and you should keep this in mind if you are considering the gun. A hand-held needle gives the person applying the eyebrow tattoo the ability to create very fine lines of pigment that more closely resemble individual hairs. Of course, this will create a more natural look.

Eyebrow tattoo application with a manual needle is also generally considered to be less painful than tattoo gun application and causes less bleeding, bruising and swelling

Eyebrow tattoos can be an especially practical option for people who suffer from hair loss caused by alopecia, or as a side-effect of chemotherapy treatments. Eyebrow tattoos may also appeal to individuals who have sparse eyebrows and are allergic to makeup, have difficulty seeing, or otherwise have difficulty applying makeup.

This procedure can be done by a cosmetologist, plastic surgeon, aesthetician or tattoo artist. You should look for someone who is certified by the American Academy of Micropigmentation.

You should not have this procedure if you take immunosuppressive drugs, anticoagulants or have Herpes Simplex.

If you are having eyebrow issues, this is one option that can definitely work for you. Make sure you don't pick a trendy brow look, like too bushy or too thin, because if the look goes out of style you will have it tattooed on your face. The price can range from $200 to $2000, depending on where you go and what type of package you purchase.
