I would love to have my eyebrows tattooed on, but know nothing about it, so here are some questions.........
1. Is it very painful for the eyebrows to be tattooed on?
2. How long does it take?
3. How bad will it look at 60, 70 or 80 years old?
4. Who do you go to...a tattoo artist or a make-up artist?
5. How do you go about finding someone competent to do it?
I am really interested in this because I too, have to draw them on or fill them in a little bit. In the summer, well anytime really, I sweat and then they end up being wiped off. I do have eyebrows, just very thin and far apart.

My mom had permanent eyeliner, permanent lipliner, and permanent eyebrows tatoo'd on. She said the eyeliner hurt soooo bad, but the eyebrows and lipliner did not hurt too bad and she continues to get the eyebrows touched up. She has not done the lipliner again but she has done the eyeliner a time or two more. But the eyeliner hurts so bad that she says she probably won't do it again.
It takes a couple of hours to get eyebrows tatoo'd on.
It doesn't really look bad as you age bc it fades and you have to get it touched up if you want to continue having it.
The lady who did my mom's permanent makeup also does electrolysis. My mom, me, and my 2 sisters have gone to her for electrolysis (permanent hair removal) for YEARS! I know my sisters and me have been going to her for 10 years for permanent hair removal (we all have our entire faces hair-free and our eyebrows are shaped and we got the hair on our fingers and toes removed) and I know my mom has been going to her for longer than that. So my mom knows she is compitent and knew she would do a good job with the permanent makeup before she got it done.
