Debbie... Cosmetic tattooing is pretty common here in the Los Angeles area (WHAT a surprise, huh?) <wee smirk>. I have a friend who's had her eyebrows, and around her eyes (both upper and lower eye-lids) for a "mascara-look." She's also had her lips done with a light natural pink. She looks terrific and has had no physical problems from the tattooing. The procedures were performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. I'm going to be looking into cosmetic tattooing for myself because I have two scars on my face (got kicked in the chops by a horse 17 years ago), which CAN be hidden by makeup, but that IS a royal pain to apply when one's "off." Hence my interest in seeing if tattooing will be an option instead of going thru a laser peel or actual surgery to get rid of the scars (I'm determined to have one or the other done and SOON! I'll post to the list when I find out more 'bout the various options available.
