Tattooed eyebrows or semi permanent make-up

Has anyone though about or looked into tattooed eyebrows or semi permanent make-up?

Any ideas on costs?

I'm thinking about it, as I want beautiful raised arched eyebrows:o

    I had semi permanent eye liner done years ago (about 13 years ago I think) it cost around £100 then. I don't know whether the price will have gone up with inflation, or down because it's more common now.

    It did really really hurt though (but I am a bug wuss). Even with extra anesthetic it hurt. I was flinching so much I ended up with a slight black eye where she had had to press hard to keep me still.

    It did look good though, and it lasted ages, but I wouldn't do it again.
    When I had my loft converted back into a loft, the neighbours came around and scoffed, and called me retro.

    i also had the eyeliner done, only the upper one. again it hurt! glad its not just me!
    i was 'modelling' for the lady doing it so it was free.
    it was definitely worth it and i would certainly do it again!

    Tattooed eyebrows fade as you age, and doing them again on thinning skin is to be avoided.
    Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there. Peer at your baby's eyes for them to reflect back just people-throw away your flags and religious symbols...

    But that would be good:confused:

    Dark tattooed eyebrows on an old lady would look silly.

    Anyway, first quote £500 - £600:eek:

    I am just about to have eyeliner done and eyebrows as I have wobbly hands and am absolutly terrible at drawing lines on my face smoothly.

    Being done by a friend of my mums and will be a birthday present to me. Thinking that we will have to pay around £150 for it
