What is Permanent Eyeliner?

Also known as an eyeliner tattoo, permanent eyeliner is a treatment you can receive that replaces the need to wear eyeliner each day. Permanent eyeliner involves using a tattooing technique to apply pigment along the lashline to create the appearance of eyeliner. (This pigment is permanent, but has to be touched up every 2-5 years.) Eyeliner tattoos can be applied in a variety of styles, from extremely thin and natural-looking liner, to thicker lines, and even winged eyeliner.

The benefits of receiving permanent eyeliner range from not needing to wear eyeliner anymore (if you frequently wear it as part of your beauty routine), to enhancing your eye shape. The treatment also lasts between two and five years before you'll need a touch-up, which is fairly long-lasting as far as beauty treatments go. Finally, you don't need to have eyelashes to get this procedure, so it's a popular treatment for those with sparse lashes, hair loss, and/or alopecia to enhance the eye area.

Yes — when performed by a licensed, experienced PMU artist, permanent eyeliner is a safe and widely practiced procedure. We follow strict sanitation standards and use high-quality pigments designed specifically for the delicate eye area.

To ensure the best results and avoid irritation:

• Stop using retinol, glycolic acid, or any active skincare near the eyes 1 week before your appointment
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
• Avoid caffeine the day of your treatment to minimize eye twitching and help you stay relaxed

The appointment usually takes 1–2 hours, depending on the style and detail of eyeliner chosen (e.g., Enhancement, Classic, Winged, or Butterfly styles).

Your eyes will be numbed with a topical anesthetic before we begin. You’ll feel a slight vibration as the pigment is gently implanted along the lash line. There is minimal discomfort and no bleeding when properly numbed. Most clients find the procedure surprisingly comfortable.

Permanent eyeliner typically lasts 3–5 years, but results vary by skin type and lifestyle. A touch-up is included 4–6 weeks after your first session to perfect the look. Annual refreshers are optional to maintain boldness and shape.

Choosing the best permanent eyeliner tattoo depends on your eye shape, style preference, and how bold or subtle you want your look to be. At Ohio City Beauty Studio, we offer a wide range of eyeliner tattoo techniques — from natural lash enhancements to full glam winged and ombré styles.
