To achieve a permanent, ideal eyebrow shape, many individuals have opted for eyebrow tattooing over the years. While it may seem simple and accessible to anyone at any time, this is not the case. As a cosmetic surgical procedure, eyebrow tattooing carries certain contraindications:
(1) Individuals with infections such as boils or folliculitis on the face or eyebrow area.
(2) Individuals with eyebrow area pathologies such as hemangiomas, sebaceous cysts, or seborrheic dermatitis.
(3) Individuals with keloid-prone skin.
(4) Those with mental or neurological disorders, or unrealistic/excessively high expectations for results.
(5) Individuals allergic to permanent makeup pigments.
(6) Patients with blood disorders like hemophilia or thrombocytopenia.
(7) Individuals with infectious diseases like hepatitis B should avoid eyebrow tattooing to prevent cross-infection.
(8) Those with congenital or acquired ptosis (drooping eyelids) are contraindicated for eyebrow tattooing. The affected side's eyebrow position is often higher than the unaffected side, making precise eyebrow design challenging and frequently leading to unsatisfactory results.
