Traditional eyeliner can be difficult to apply and often smudges easily. Achieving the right symmetry and eye definition with eyeliner makeup while maintaining longevity can be challenging. Your look shouldn’t have to fade as the day goes on — you deserve long-lasting eyeliner that doesn’t require constant touch-ups throughout the day or multiple applications to maintain its effect.
The Archery’s Eyeliner Tattoo, or lash line enhancement can give you beautiful, long lasting results without the hassle and worry of makeup smudging. Perfect for those with busy lifestyles, this revolutionary service guarantees natural-looking enhancement to your eyes that can last for years.
Permanent eyeliner, also known as eyeliner tattoo, or lash line line tattooing, is a cosmetic procedure in which pigment is implanted along the lash line to mimic the look of a makeup applied to the eye or to create the effect of having darker, fuller lashes.
The procedure is typically performed using a handheld device with a fine needle to deposit the pigment into the skin. The result is a long-lasting, smudge-proof enhancement that eliminates the need for daily makeup application. Permanent eyeliner can be customized to achieve a variety of looks, from subtle and natural to bold and dramatic.

Before scheduling your appointment for this service, please send a clear and well-lit photo of your eyes to your artist for pre-approval. Keep in mind that eyelash extensions must be removed at least 2 weeks before your appointment and cannot be reapplied until 2 weeks after your touch-up. Additionally, avoid using lash serums for 10 days before and two weeks after the service, as well as lash lifts/tints for at least 10 days before and after. You must also not have Blepharitis and eyelid surgery must be at least 6 months prior, while surgery on the eye itself requires a doctor’s note.
Generally, the procedure can take between 1.5 to 2 hours to complete, with additional time for consultation and aftercare instructions. It’s important to allocate enough time for the session and to communicate with the artist about any concerns or questions beforehand.
The healing time for permanent eyeliner can vary, but typically takes around 1-2 weeks. During this time, the area may be swollen and the color may appear darker than desired. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions and avoid certain activities to promote proper healing and ensure the best possible results.
No. Lash line tattooing, or any cosmetic tattooing cannot be performed on a client who is pregnant or breast feeding in case of infection.
The duration of a lash line enhancement/eyeliner tattoo can vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. Generally, the results can last anywhere from 1 to 4 years. However, touch-ups are typically needed every 1-2 years to maintain the desired intensity of the color.
After the lash line enhancement/eyeliner tattoo procedure, use one wipe pad every hour for the first 4 hours. Then, follow a dry healing regimen for the next 10 days, avoiding any wetness on the eyes. Use a washcloth or wipes to cleanse your face during this period and avoid applying any creams or makeup directly on the eyes, including mascara. Avoid sweating (no hot yoga, and the sauna for 10 days).
No direct sun exposure. Be sure to wear sunglasses or a wide brimmed hat if you’ll be in the sun. Do not pick at the scabs or scrub the area, as this can result in scarring and affect the retention of the pigment. Swelling may occur on the first two days, and clients may apply ice over a clean cloth. On day 3, a small amount of coconut or grape seed oil may be applied carefully. Continue to keep the area dry and free of makeup or products until the scabs are gone, and avoid using creams or products containing acids or exfoliating ingredients between appointments.
It’s recommended to wait at least 2 weeks after getting permanent eyeliner before wearing mascara. This allows enough time for the skin to heal properly and reduces the risk of infection or pigment loss. It’s important to avoid applying mascara directly on the tattooed area to prevent any irritation or damage.
It’s important to keep the tattooed area dry for the first 10 days after getting permanent eyeliner to promote proper healing. This means avoiding any water or moisture on the eyes during this time. After the 10-day dry healing period, gentle cleansing with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser can be done, but be careful not to rub or scrub the area. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions carefully to achieve the best possible results.
