Cosmetic Tattoos on Eyebrows for Men
Hi, I was wondering about how you felt about cosmetic tattooing for the eyebrow in the case of a male that is looking to add SOME density. I have also been considering eyebrow transplantation but I am unsure about having to trim them a couple of times a week. I heard of a new procedure where they use the hair from your leg as the donor hair. This would be cool since the hair on my leg does not grow as long as the hair on my head. Any insight ?
Tattooing the eyebrow to create the illusion of hair works nicely for the short term, but it needs hair present at some level of density to make it look like an eyebrow. For a man in particular, the regular appearance of a tattoo which is neat and linear, will appear artificial and feminine if there is not enough hair present to give it some bushy structure to it. After many years, the tattoo color will fade and often turn green and the shape will change. People will notice the tattoo right away if they come close to you without make up and you will end up either using an eyebrow pencil to cover the green hue or get an eyebrow transplant. Tattoos work better for women because they wear make up and eye liner all the time, but sooner or later they will have to deal with the color change of the tattoo. If you are a man, can you see yourself putting on make up for the rest of your life to hide a green tattoo so that people don’t notice it easily? Hair transplants work nicely for eyebrows (see Eyebrow Transplants). Hair from an eyebrow transplant is your natural hair (from your head). The only inconvenience is that it must be trimmed a couple of times each week for a man, more for a woman as you won’t want a ponytail growing from your eyebrows.
