What is Shaded Eyeliner?

Shaded eyeliner in Karina's signature technique will give you a soft & subtle wing that accentuates the shape of the eyes. This technique creates a beautiful winged eyeliner, but the shading keeps it soft and natural. It is best for large, open eyes with little to no wrinkles. You cannot tattoo a wing over wrinkles or folds because the creases will make the wing bend and appear off. Winged eyeliner tattoos are also NOT suitable on hooded eyes, monolid eyes, or eyes that are very uneven (i.g., one droopy eye). Different result can be achieved depending on client's needs.

This technique is the most permanent of all permanent makeup techniques so make sure you are very committed to having a wing before choosing this technique. Because we use dark pigments on thin eyelid skin, this tattoo can last 5,10, or more years. The rich black/brown color will eventually fade to a very light grey over time. We use a combination of black and brown pigments to achieve a shaded look. We will not tattoo any other colors on the eyes.

It’s important to remember that all eyeliner tattoo techniques are subtle and may never completely replace cosmetic makeup. Eyeliner makeup sits on top of the skin, so it has a dark, bold appearance while the tattoo is going underneath the skin, so it is much softer. Even black tattoo ink will never look as dark as black eyeliner makeup. The healed result may replace daily eyeliner for those who wear minimal makeup or prefer more natural eyeliner. For those who prefer a bold liquid liner then this will act as a great tool for tracing your cosmetic makeup and make it ten times easier to apply.

Because the tattoo heals very soft it is not recommended on dark skin because not much of the tattoo will be visible. 

We do not offer any lower eyeliner tattoos. The water line is not able to be tattooed so the lower liner may end up giving a droopy appearance to the eye. 

*You must be off any eyelash growth serums (Latisse, Lash Boost, etc.) for at least 6 months before having your eyeliner tattooed. These serums make the eyelid very sensitive and prone to bruising/bleeding. If the skin bruises too much then the pigment will not be able to enter the skin due to swelling. You cannot be wearing eyelash extensions or contact lenses during your appointment. Minor swelling is normal and will subside within a few days. No eye makeup can be worn after your appointment for 7 days to prevent infection. Eyeliner tattoos are not available to those with medical eye problems (glaucoma).
