Define Your Eyes Without Daily Makeup
Eyeliner tattooing is one of the most transformative permanent makeup services we offer—yet also one of the most misunderstood. Clients are often intrigued but hesitant, unsure if it will look too bold, feel too painful, or heal properly. At Cindy Choe Studio & Academy, we specialize in delivering clean, natural-looking eyeliner enhancements tailored to your unique eye shape and comfort level.
Whether you’re tired of smudging pencils, uneven lines, or simply want to wake up looking more awake, eyeliner tattooing might be your low-maintenance game-changer.
What Is Eyeliner Tattooing?
Eyeliner tattooing, also called lash line enhancement, involves depositing pigment along the lash line using a fine machine needle. The result can be as subtle or as dramatic as you’d like—from a soft, barely-there definition to a classic winged look.
At our studio, we primarily focus on natural lash enhancement, which creates the illusion of fuller lashes and brighter eyes—without looking like you’re wearing makeup.
Why Clients Love It

No more daily eyeliner application

Many of our clients say it’s the one beauty treatment they wish they’d done sooner. It’s subtle, confidence-boosting, and surprisingly versatile.
Is It Painful?
A common concern is discomfort—but most clients are pleasantly surprised. We apply a topical numbing creambefore the procedure to minimize sensation. You may feel a light vibration or tickle near the lash line, but most clients report it as highly tolerable, especially compared to traditional tattooing.
Healing & Aftercare
The healing process is relatively simple:
-
Day 1–3: Eyes may feel slightly tight or dry; mild swelling is common.
-
Day 4–7: Some flaking or pigment fading as the skin naturally exfoliates.
-
Week 2–3: Pigment settles and softens into its final tone.
-
Touch-up at 4–6 weeks (if needed): Optional for depth or small adjustments.
Avoid mascara, heavy eye creams, lash extensions, or direct water pressure during healing to ensure clean retention.
Styles We Offer
-
Lash Line Enhancement: Extremely natural, pigment only between lashes.
-
Classic Eyeliner: Defined but elegant line above the lashes.
-
Winged or Designer Eyeliner: More stylized for clients who love boldness.
-
Lower Lash Line (optional): Can be added for balanced definition.
Each look is customized based on your eye shape, makeup preferences, and long-term goals. We don’t believe in “cookie cutter” liners.
Is Eyeliner Tattooing Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if:
-
You wear eyeliner daily and want to simplify your routine
-
You have allergies or sensitivities to eye makeup
-
You want a natural boost without looking “made up”
-
You wear glasses or struggle with applying liner evenly
-
You’re seeking symmetry or balance in your eye shape
We do not recommend eyeliner tattooing for pregnant clients, those with certain eye conditions, or clients prone to keloid scarring.
Eyes That Stay Defined—Effortlessly
In the hands of a skilled artist, eyeliner tattooing is not about boldness—it’s about balance. It’s about soft enhancement that adds life, shape, and energy to the eyes, even when you’re barefaced.
