Hi 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

Recently, I've made a mistake of over plucking and over shaving 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've 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 are 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 like adjust the height of my eyebrows 'cause 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

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 back dark 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 it'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 tattooed her eyebrows but the previous technology was pretty much permanent

And 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 can 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 semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo

And it's supposed to last anywhere between a couple of months to 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 the skin that sheds and exfoliates

And so depending on how often your skin sheds and exfoliates it might last shorter or 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 3D eyebrow tattoo is super popular in Korea

A lot of women are going to do this now

Because they realise 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 especially if you're busy

In addition, your eyebrows won't wash-off when you sweat, or 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 an a normal eyebrow tattoo is that

3D 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 colour

So that's another improvement as well and it looks super natural

And with 3D eyebrow tattooing you can have two types

One is machine drawn, which is they use a tattoo machine

And they basically draw lines and theses line 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 tattooist use

And I think it's much better because hand drawn stroke are, I guess, more imperfect

Just like natural hair, they're not exactly parallel and they're all kind of different

And I feel that 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

It's 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 to remove all the makeup from your eyebrows

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 person was 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 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 adjusted

And after the shape of your brow it's decided, then you just pick the colour of your brow

I chose a medium ash brown; the lightest colour is sort of like a medium brown

Which is fine because it actually fades over time so it becomes a nice colour

For those of you guys, that have dark hair you can choose between like

A warm brown, an ash brown or even a darker grey colour

So for people with black hair, a grey colour is actually better

Than black per say cause actually looks more natural

Once you've chosen the colour she basically mixes that colour and the numbing cream it's applied

And the numbing cream is applied onto your brows just to make the whole process comfortable

Because the needle's actually going into your skin and 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 suppose to work really, really well

So I laid there with relaxing music for about 15 to 20 minutes until the numbing cream worked

And then basically the numbing cream it's wiped off

And then she uses this sort of needle, this hand drawn tattoo pen needle thing that she had

And started drawing the colour in, stroke by stroke

And she would work on one side of your eyebrow, then do the next

And work back onto the other side of the eyebrow

And depending on the style of strokes that you chose, will either be a machine tattoo pen

Or like her, she had a manual tattoo pen

Each individual stroke it's 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

Is not completely painful and if it is, you can ask them to apply some more numbing cream

And wait 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 numbing 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 1 to 10, I would say the pain would have been around a 5 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 ointment about three times a day

Just to keep the area moisturised 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 Vaseline for the other four days for the week

And just to keep the area moisturised, and so it won't scab

Now, the whole process from beginning to end, took 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 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

It doesn't look too bad. If you have dark hair, it would look completely normal with this eyebrow colour

And you will look completely natural

The first week, however you will just look a bit shiny 'cause 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 colour

It has faded a lot now and I've actually created a light eyebrow colour simply by using an eyebrow mascara

And I pretty much don't fill in my eyebrows anymore

I just apply 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 might want to do a follow-up session

What happens is the colour will actually fade out

And the actual shape might become thinner than you wanted

So a touch-up needs to be done about a month after you do your first session

To just fix the shape up a bit, or filling in, or do any changes

Because it's unpredictable how much it will fade the 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 it's really made my life a lot easier 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 their eyebrows

May not be good at doing their eyebrows, and may find it difficult to draw in the shape everyday

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 a hundred and fifty to two hundred dollars for your first session

And the follow-up session is around a hundred to a hundred and fifty dollars

This may change depending 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
