Eyelash line tattoo process

A lash line tattoo is an eyeliner tattoo that places pigment into the skin adjacent to the lash line. It’s pursued for aesthetic reasons, giving the illusion of denser and lusher lashes, or for medical grounds, aiding individuals who’ve lost lashes due to chemotherapy.

The lash line delineates the boundary of the eyelids. This region is where your eyelashes sprout. Applying eyeliner in this spot is crucial as it accentuates your lashes, making them more noticeable.

Yet, executing permanent eyeliners is more accessible to contemplate than realising. Tattooing eyeliner can be intricate and must be handed to a skilled practitioner.

Achieving exquisite and lifelike eyeliner makeup is feasible when the eyeliner cosmetic tattooing process is adeptly managed.

A lash line tattoo is the subtler sister of the traditional eyeliner tattoo. Here’s the key difference:

Good prep = better results. Here’s our go-to checklist:
7 Days Before:

  • Stop using lash serums — they can make skin more sensitive.
  • Avoid tinting or perming your lashes.

48 Hours Before:

  • Skip alcohol, aspirin, and fish oil (they thin the blood).
  • Avoid heavy sun exposure.

On the Day:

  • Arrive with clean eyes — no makeup or mascara.
  • Bring sunglasses for your trip home if your eyes feel a bit light-sensitive.

When clients ask, “Does it hurt?” — we’re honest. You’ll feel some vibration and light scratching, but we use high-quality numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Here’s what to expect:

  • Consultation & Design – We chat about your eye shape, lash density, and how subtle or defined you want the enhancement.
  • Prep & Numbing – The eye area is cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic is applied.
  • Pigment Selection – We choose a safe, top-grade pigment that complements your skin undertones.
  • Tattooing – Fine dots of pigment are implanted between the lashes using a precision machine.
  • Aftercare Review – We explain your healing process and give you written instructions.

We always tell clients: trust the process. Pigments settle and soften over time.

Post-treatment care makes all the difference. Here’s our recommended aftercare:

  • No mascara or eyeliner for at least 7 days
  • Avoid steam rooms, saunas, pools for 10 days
  • Don’t rub, pick, or scratch the area
  • Apply the recommended aftercare balm as instructed
  • Use SPF around the eyes to help prevent premature fading

Eyeliner tattoo procedure generally requires 7 to 10 days to heal fully. Right after the process, the cosmetic eyeliner might feel sore, and its shade will seem much deeper than the hue you opted for during the consultation. As skin exfoliates, the intensity of the colour will diminish by 20-40%. It’s essential not to be alarmed during this phase since we can modify the shade and contour during your follow-up visit. To maximise outcomes from your permanent eyeliner or lash enhancement tattoo, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Administer Paw Paw or Bepanthen ointment 3-4 times daily, pre and post-bathing (ensure the region stays hydrated).
  • Preclude cross-contamination. Cleanliness is paramount − cleanse your hands before using the healing ointment, and employ a sterile cotton swab.
  • Between each use, gently cleanse away the previous ointment before reapplying.
  • Slight itching and skin shedding are typical and signify healing. Refrain from tugging, rubbing or scratching the treated zone; otherwise, the pigment might settle unevenly, leading to potential scars or infections. Allow natural shedding of the area.
  • Hold off on physical activities or immersion in water for 48 hours, and stay clear of salted or chlorinated waters. Bypass steam rooms, saunas, and hot tubs.
  • Abstain from cosmetics until the tattoo naturally exfoliates, and steer clear of makeup removers.
  • Evade prolonged exposure to sunlight. The use of sunscreen can assist in preserving the longevity of permanent makeup.
  • Post-treatment, there’s a possibility of developing conjunctivitis. If symptoms manifest, procure conjunctivitis-specific eye drops from a pharmacy.
