Would Cosmetic Eyebrow Tattooing Cause Further Loss?

Hello dr,
I was considering getting my eyebrows filled in with a tattoo. I have a decent amount of hair but have some sparse areas due to overplucking as a teen. I was wondering if tattooing the area will make the hairs fall out? I hear that it doesn’t from the techs who perform it but not sure if they are just saying that to get more business. I would love your thoughts as a hair loss expert on this matter. Thank you

The use of hair transplantation is probably the best solution available today for eyebrow restoration. Take a look at this post from last month and you will see the absolutely natural appearance of an eyebrow transplant.

I wouldn’t expect the tattooing to cause eyebrow loss, but I’d be more concerned about the tattooed eyebrows looking natural, particularly on close inspection. I guess it depends on the color of your brows and how sparse they currently are.
