Eyeliner tattooing is the makeup tattooing treatment that a cosmetic tattooist needs to exercise the greatest care when performing to ensure that the client does not have an adverse outcome. In addition to the delicate nature of the eyelid and the eye itself, eyeliner tattooing is the most challenging and potentially the most dangerous for tattoo removal.
