hey guys it's wengie today I wanted to
talk about my eyebrow tattooing
experience and the reason why I got my
eyebrows tattooed was a few reasons one
of them was that my eyebrows don't grow
back as quickly as they used to and I
used to have really thick eyebrows that
didn't really need to be filled in that
much in fact I would have to pluck them
because my hair would be really long and
really thick and recently I've made a
mistake of over plucking or over shaping
part of it and I found that is taking
ages for my hair to grow back and
therefore I ended up with some sparse
eyebrows that I've had to fill in
regularly and if you're like me I don't
know why but I cannot fill in my
eyebrows the same every single time I
must have missed out on the you can draw
good eyebrows gene or something like
that but I've tried and it's very very
difficult also I was born with eyebrows
that a little bit uneven so even
naturally my eyebrows weren't exactly
even so it made it really hard for me to
fill them in properly as well on top
because I had to kind of have to like
adjust the height of my eyebrows because
one is a little bit higher than the
other and I think it's because maybe I
like lift my eyebrows too much when I
talk and the muscles are different on
one side of my face than the other but
yeah my eyebrows are a little bit uneven
as well but the other thing was I also
bleached my brows as well so when I wake
up in the morning my brows are really
really light almost like I don't have
any eyebrows and they've kind of grown
backed up again recently but yeah I just
wanted to make things easier for me so
that I don't have to fill them in as
regularly and then I could wake up in
the morning
without looking like I have no eyebrows
so I decided to do this eyebrow tattoo
because I just felt like you'll make
everything easier for me if I had
someone to draw in my eyebrows to begin
with it would be a good guide for me
when I put on makeup and yeah I get to
live with great brows all the time the
reason why I've chosen to do this now
and not before is that technology has
changed a lot for eyebrow tattooing
previously my mom has also a tattoo her
eyebrows but the previous technology was
pretty much permanent any tattooing
thing that you did would have pretty
much lasted for the rest of your life
in addition the pigments they use were
black and it would turn this bluey
greeny shade as well so it wasn't
something I wanted to do and also I
don't think I could commit to a brow
shape for the rest of my life or risk
having to remove the tattoo so recently
Koreans have developed this technology
it's called 3d eyebrow tattoo or a
semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo and it's
supposed to last anywhere between a
couple of months - up to a year now the
reason why this procedure lasts a lot
less than the permanent tattoo procedure
is mainly because they are tattooing
more on the superficial part of the skin
they're not going as deep as the
original permanent tattoo so it will
fade because it's on the surface layer
of your skin that sheds and exfoliates
and so depending on how often your skin
sheds and exfoliates in my last shorter
or a longer time so you can either do it
again and change the shape if the trend
has changed that's the reason why I
decided to do it because I know it won't
be permanent but I know it would last a
couple of months and save me a lot of
time from drawing in my brows so this
Korean 3-d eyebrow tattoo is super
popular in Korea a lot of women are
going to do this now because they've
realized it's a lot of work if you had
to draw in your eyebrows every day and
for people that have a career or go to
work on a daily basis yeah it pretty
much saves you so much time specially if
you're busy in addition your eyebrows
won't wash off when you sweat
when it's hot and when you go into the
pool and it just stays there which is
amazing the difference between a 3d
eyebrow tattoo and a normal eyebrow
tattoo is that foody eyebrow tattooing
they actually draw the individual hairs
so when you look closely it almost looks
like an eyebrow hair because they use
little strokes instead of just doing a
whole block of color so that's another
improvement as well and it looks super
natural and with 3d eyeball tattooing
you can have two types one is machine
drawn which is they use a tattoo machine
and they basically draw a lines and
these lines will end up looking more
straight and more parallel the other
kind of stroke is actually a hand drawn
stroke and this is the style that my
particular tattoo is used and I think
it's much better because hand-drawn
strokes are I guess more imperfect just
like natural hair they're not exactly
parallel and they're all kind of
different and I feel like this kind of
stroke actually makes your eyebrows look
a lot more natural than a machine drawn
stroke but it's completely up to you
what style you choose is just good to
know what you can choose from so these
are the two kind of strokes that you can
actually choose from when you're
choosing an eyebrow tattoo artist so now
I just want to walk you guys through the
process of actually tattooing your
eyebrows so I turned up to the tattoo
place and basically what you need to do
is remove all the makeup from your
eyebrow turn up with a clean eyebrow or
they may wipe it off for you and the
next thing you do is you actually choose
the shape of your eyebrow and my tattoo
artist had all these pre drawn shapes
onto these pieces of paper which was
really awesome the great thing I loved
about that process where she actually
recommended what was the most popular
amongst young people in Korea and that
was a straighter thicker brow which is
what I chose and she'll basically draw
on your eyebrows an outline of the shape
of the eyebrow that you chose and then
you can just kind of have a look at what
it looks like on your face and you can
say yes or no or make them adjust it
yeah and after the shape of your brow is
decided then you just pick the color of
your brow I chose a
medium ash brown the lightest color is
sort of like a medium brown which is
fine because it actually fades over time
so it become a nice color for those of
you guys that have dark hair you can
choose between like a warm brown and ash
brown or even a darker gray color so for
people with black hair a gray color is
actually better than black per se
because it actually looks more natural
once you've chosen the color
she basically mixes that color and the
numbing cream is applied and the numbing
cream is applied onto your brows just to
make the whole process comfortable
because the needles actually going into
your skin it can feel quite painful and
this numbing cream really just makes you
comfortable throughout the whole
procedure and she had this special
Korean numbing cream that was supposed
to work really really well so I lied
there with relaxing music for about 15
to 20 minutes until the numbing cream
wet and then basically the numbing cream
is wiped off and then she uses this sort
of needle this hand-drawn tattoo pen
needle thing that she had and started
drawing the color in stroke by stroke
and she would work on one side of your
eyebrows and to the next and work back
on to the other side of the eyebrow and
depending on the style of strokes that
you chose this will either be a machine
tattoo pen or like her she had a manual
tattoo pen so each individual stroke is
then drawn with the shape that you have
in mind and this is the longest part of
the process
after the numbing cream is applied the
actual tattooing process feels like kind
of like someone's scratching your skin
it's not completely painful and if it is
you can ask them to apply some more
numbing cream and wait and while they
move on to the other side of your
eyebrows but it was very very bearable I
had a tattoo done before and this was
much more painful because I didn't have
no man cream when I did this tattoo so
yeah it just basically feels like
someone's scratching your eyebrows it's
not too bad on the scale of one to ten I
would say the pain would have been
around a five so it's definitely
bearable and then that is the longest
process you basically
have each stroke drawn in and after it's
drawn in she basically applies an
ointment and for the next week you'll be
applying this point meant about three
times a day just to keep the area
moisturize and soft if you have a tattoo
done as well you'd have the same thing
and then you can use the ointment for
three days and then a Vaseline for the
other four days for the week and just to
keep the area moisturize and so it won't
scab now the whole process from
beginning to end
talk about an hour and a half and two
hours depending on the amount of strokes
that you need and the condition of the
eyebrows and things like that it could
take shorter or longer overall I'm
really really loving the results so this
is what my eyebrows look like before I
got it tattooed and this is straight
after I got my eyebrows tattooed and for
the first week or two weeks it would
actually be very very dark and for the
first week as well you're actually not
allowed to apply any eyebrow products on
it so it doesn't look too bad if you
have dark hair it would look completely
normal with this eyebrow color and you
would look completely natural the first
week however you'll just look a bit
shiny because you'll have gel on your
eyebrows so if you're planning to get
this done and you have any major events
do it one week in advance or two weeks
in advance for myself by the second week
it was still quite dark and you guys
have commented on how dark my eyebrows
are compared to my hair color it has
faded a lot now and I've actually
created a lot of eyebrow color simply by
using an eyebrow mascara and I pretty
much don't fill in my eyebrows anymore I
just applied the eyebrow mascara and
I've got a full brow and that makes
things so much easier for me I'm super
happy with the shape and the process is
after your first session you may want to
do a follow-up session is what happens
is the color will actually fade out and
the actual shape might become thinner
than you wanted so our touch-up needs to
be done about a month after you do your
first session to just fix the shape up a
bit or fill it in or do any changes
because it's unpredictable how much it
will fade
first time and usually after the second
session you've got the perfect shaped
brow so I'm yet to do my second session
but I'm still already really happy with
how it turned out I would totally do it
again and its really made my life a lot
easier and a lot more convenient
especially when it comes to my brows
this procedure is perfect for people
that don't have a lot of time to do that
eyebrows may not be good at doing the
eyebrows and may find it difficult to
draw in the shape every day or people
that have really sparse eyebrows from
either genetically being born with less
eyebrow hair or have over plucked the
price of this procedure it cost me about
150 to 200 dollars for your first
session and the follow-up session is
around 100 to 150 dollars this may
change depending on how much tattoo work
is needed on your eyebrows and also who
you go to the person I go to is really
really reasonable you can pay up to
300-400 dollars as well depending on
where you go to so I don't know how much
it costs in your local area you're going
to have to find out who does this and
who is best for you but I can only tell
you how much I paid myself so yeah that
is my 3d eyebrow tattooing experience I
hope this video has helped you guys you

always wondered what it's like to get
your eyebrows tattooed and what you have

eyebrows now and I will definitely do
