Eyebrow tattooing

So I have set a appointment to get my eyebrows tattooed on Sept 18th. I lost half of my left eyebrow, and a huge chunk of the right one. I have never had much eyebrow in the beginning, so they are almost all gone! I found a make-up tattoo artist in my area that has nothing but great reviews and she even personally called me yesterday. She seems super sweet and says she worked with quite a few people with alopecia. My question is to all of my fellow alopecians that have had this done already. What can I expect from it? How does it feel? How long does it last, because I hear it does start to fade. The woman that is doing it says she doesn't use black ink on anyone because its too dark, which I guess is good. Because I already had blonde highlights in my eyebrows. Apparently she uses a "feathering" technique and uses my eyebrows (well, whats left) as a guide, that way if they do grow back, they will just look fuller. Any info on eyebrow tattooing is GREATLY appreciated!!

Tamara, just wondering how the eyebrow tattoo went? My daughter does not suffer from alopecia, but she wants to get this done anyway.

Where do you go? Just a tattoo place or are there places that specialize? I pencil mine in, and they always wipe off so easily. I'm always so self concious about it.

Would this work for a male? I'm a bit sensitive to someone noticing it is fake. Seems like women are more bold when it comes to new looks.

I would think so. But don't go to just any joe shmo. Research someone that has done this for both males & females. The lady i went to is a licensed facial dr. She does permenant eyeliner....etc. (I would never do that by the way). But she played with pencils for a while and different shapes. She knew alot about cosmotology and the anatomy of the human face. That's my opinion......take care
