Cosmetic tattooing

As a blond, I constantly struggle with my makeup, especially my eyebrows. You can barely see them. One brow is so blond that it blends in with my face and the other just stops half way across the top of my eye. For years I have had to color them in with powder. I don't use a pencil because I don't know how and it looks ridiculous.
Everyday brings a different brow shape. Sometimes, I look happy...too happy, sometimes I look sad or even mad.

This frustration has me considering eyebrow tattooing. Cosmetic Eyebrow Tattooing is done the same way as regular tattooing. A tattoo gun, which automatically dispenses inks to the area to be tattooed, is used for the procedure. The inks, which are delivered below the skin, are made of iron oxide or titanium dioxide pigments.

I wonder however, about the long term affects. As I get older and my brow drops a little, won't the tattoo separate from my nature brow? How weird would that be? I suppose that is a question I would have to ask the doctors. And, since cosmetic tattooing is considered to be somewhat artistic, I would have to find a specialist who is certified by the American Academy of Micropigmentation and oh yeah, I would have to pay them $400 and $600 an hour. So, moving on.

Yesterday I found a website called eyebrowz that offers stencils. Check out how it works below......






......and at $14.95 plus $2.99 for shipping this seems to make much more sense for me.
