Lash enhancement tattoos typically last between 2 to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and how well you care for the tattoo. Over time, the pigment may fade and touch-ups will be required to maintain the look.

The procedure is relatively painless for most people, as a topical numbing cream is applied to the area beforehand to reduce discomfort. Some individuals may experience slight discomfort, sensitivity, or a mild scratching sensation during the procedure, but it is usually manageable.

The procedure usually takes between 1.5 to 2 hours, including the time for consultation, designing the lash line, and applying the pigment. The time can vary depending on the technician’s experience and the complexity of the design.

Lash enhancement tattoos typically require minimal downtime. You may experience some redness or mild swelling around the eyes immediately after the procedure, but this usually resolves within a few hours to a day. For the first few days, you should avoid rubbing your eyes, using makeup near the tattooed area, or exposing the area to excessive moisture or direct sunlight.

After the procedure, it’s important to follow the aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. Common aftercare instructions include:

• Avoid getting the tattooed area wet for 24-48 hours.
• Apply a soothing ointment as directed by your technician.
• Avoid wearing makeup or mascara near the tattooed area for at least a week.
• Refrain from using facial oils or exfoliants near the eyes for several weeks.

Most people require two sessions: an initial session and a follow-up appointment after 4-6 weeks to perfect the results. The follow-up appointment ensures that the pigment has healed properly and allows any touch-ups if necessary.
