Getting my eyeliner tattoed onto my face.

In the salon, trying to relax. I was remembering how bad it hurt the last time. It's kinda like childbirth, that "what am I thinking, doing this again??!!" But by that time, it is too late to bail. She already started.

Getting in there good... Hold still! She had to go over my eyes six times. It took about an hour to do.

Cleaning my eyes and rinsing off with saline. Whew! Finished!

I forgot to tell her to wax my eyebrows this time.
They are pretty bushy.

I want to thank my Mom for snapping the pics.
She even got this one, of all the equipment. You would think she was a scrapbooker. I am sure Karen Foster will be coming out with a "Tattoo" line, and you will all be jealous that I have photos to go with those stickers.

And I especially liked this one. Me in a grimace. And a great cleavage shot of the tattoo artist. To my male readers...you are welcome.

So, now I am puffy, and gritty, and I have to swab my eyes with Vaseline for five days.
Good times.

I guess I could have saved myself some time, pain and money by going to Wal-mart and picking up a Wet-n-Wild Kohl black pencil for $1.19.

YEOWWWWWWCH!!!!!

I'll stick with my cheap eyeliner, thanks.

Now, I need to close my eyes...I'm feelin' your pain.

Yesh! I can't find elective surgery (this now includes tattoed makeup) in my vocabulary. You are a real tropper to do this twice.

Looking at these pictures made my eyes start watering and the pain all came back to me. I curled up in a ball and started rocking back and forth. Ouch!

That made my eyes water and my head hurt.

I think I like the wal-mart stuff better. Looks like that hurts!

Your eyes were not that puffy. But I am disappointed that you weren't wearing sunglasses.

OUCH! Hope your eyes feel well soon. :)

Thanks, sis for telling everyone that you did this and that ALL of your sisters did too. Now everyone will know that I am not a "Natural" beauty, and that it is not due to my exceptional artistic skill that my makeup looks so good... My nose is STILL running, and your photos don't help...
