Analise tattooed my eyeliner yesterday (5-17-17) and I cannot BEGIN to express my delight.
First, tattooing near your eyeball sounds TERRIFYING. It has to hurt, right? I have 6 tattoos in different places on my body and tattoos are, at the very least, uncomfortable. I was apprehensive but I drove 2 hours to Tampa to give it a shot. ::gulp::
-Not only was her studio the epitome of stylish and sterile, it was cozy enough to make it feel less intimidating.
-Her personality was relaxed and confident and completely in control. I am the type of person who gets anxious over a new restaurant. It really felt like a New-Age Slumber Party. Back in the day, you and your girlfriends would get together and chat about make up and boys...this was the same thing...just permanent.
-It was not painful AT ALL. Truly! Aside from numbing cream in the beginning, she carefully applied the cream after each line was complete to lessen inflammation, which made the following line JUST as painless. I would say it was similar to having an eyelash in your eye. My eyes didn't even water and she uses a counting technique so your brain registers that the irritation will end soon.
-She was ABSOLUTELY dedicated to giving me the look that was timeless, classic, clean, and appropriate in any setting.
That evening and this morning, I had no redness or irritation and I am carefully following the after-care regimen. I AM TOTALLY OBSESSED WITH MY EYES! I didn't used to look in the mirror a lot because I was like, "Oh. same old me. Slap SOMETHING on and go" NOW, I keep looking and loving my appearance. JUST BECAUSE OF ANALISE!!!
I will return in 4-6 weeks for a touchup and in my absolute and totally honest opinion, it is not only WORTH the two hour drive, but its something that is ESSENTIAL to any woman who wears eyeliner on a daily basis.
*Everyone has different pain tolerance but she's light handed to begin with and I do not have an extremely high pain threshold. She will absolutely communicate the entire time with you about your comfort. For me personally? Cake walk. But everyone is different so make sure you discuss it with her if that is a concern.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANALISE!!!! read more
