The eyes and area of the eyelids are a vulnerable and sensitive part of the body, so many women are concerned about the possible consequences of tattooing of the eyes, even the thought of approaching the needle of the apparatus for permanent make-up frightens them. Since the tattoo of the century raises many questions and doubts, we will try to answer at least the most common ones.
Does tattoo eye contraindications?
First, we will touch upon the issue of medical contraindications to the procedure of eye tattooing, which can be divided into absolute and relative (or temporary).
Absolute contraindications:
- oncological diseases;
- HIV infection and other immunity disorders;
- fragility of blood vessels, poor blood clotting;
- epilepsy, severe mental illness;
- diabetes mellitus in an insulin-dependent form;
- birthmarks, papillomas, keloid scars in the place of the planned tattoo.
Relative contraindications to eye tattooing are temporary or require great care and medication to avoid unwanted reactions. The decision on the possibility of the procedure is taken after consultation with a doctor who will weigh all the pros and cons of tattooing the eyes. So, relative contraindications:
- pregnancy (especially the first trimester), lactation period;
- menstruation (you just have to wait for the middle of the cycle);
- exacerbation of chronic diseases (also waiting for remission);
- hypertension (pressure control during tattooing is necessary);
- allergy (you need to conduct preliminary allergic tests for anesthetic and pigments).
Separately, I want to say about conjunctivitis. For those who suffer from inflammation of the conjunctiva and just the sensitivity of the eyes, tattooing of the eyes can be a real salvation, eliminating the need for daily make-up. Before the beginning of the procedure the master will check the skin for an allergic reaction. If the cause of conjunctivitis is an infection, you will first have to undergo a course of treatment.
At the time of visiting the salon, you must be healthy and well-behaved, and then the consequences of tatazh eye will not be terrible to you.
How is eye tattoo done?
Before the beginning of the procedure the master necessarily conducts anesthesia with surface preparations, and if pain occurs during the work, he repeats the applications. So do not worry, eye tattooing - it does not hurt. By the way, anesthesia injections is not recommended: it even gives a powerful analgesic effect, but it intensifies the swelling of the skin after tattooing of the eyes.
During operation, the eyelid is fixed in a stationary state so that you do not accidentally blink, and the depth of the needle punctures becomes minimal (the level of the papillary dermis). This technique does not allow the slightest injury, only sometimes surface capillaries can be affected, which does not cause any serious consequences of eye tattooing.
Is eye tattoo harmful? No, with proper conduct and hygiene, it is absolutely safe.
Eye tattooing - care and correction
At the end of the work, the wizard will apply a healing remedy on the eyelids, and then will in detail instruct how to take care of the skin of the eyes during the healing period. To quickly remove the swelling after eye tattoo, you can apply dry cool compresses, rinsing with infusion of green tea.
The effect of tear-stained eyes disappears in a few hours, and the next day in the place of tattooing may appear crusts. Try not to damage them and generally protect the skin of the eyelids for 7-10 days: do not steam it, do not rub it, avoid the sun, do not allow contact with cosmetics and soap. It is mandatory to use eye ointment with bactericidal and regenerating properties (for example, Tetracycline) 2-3 times a day. In the future, special care for eyes with tattoo is not needed.
In case of irritation, report this to the master, but even if everything is fine, do not lose contact with him and show up in a month or so - you may need a small correction of eye tattooing. In the future, correction will need to be done every few years to refresh the color.
Unsuccessful eye tattoos
We do not want to frighten you, but sometimes the result can be disappointing. If you want to avoid unpleasant surprises, take it seriously to the choice of the master and specify the expected effect up to the smallest nuances. It happens that the skin reacts peculiarly to pigments and the shade is not quite the one you would like, but it's easy to fix it. Unpainted areas are also filled at the first correction.
What is more serious is the situation when you are not satisfied with the shape of the line or formed "swim". With significant drawbacks, the only solution is to remove the tattoo of the eyes, partial or complete. On the eyelids, only the laser method of removal is used and, depending on the pigment used and the depth of the tattoo, one to several procedures with a break per month are required.
