Men and permanent makeup?

Hey=)

I have had AA for 10 years now, and one of the first things i started to loose where my brows.
Now im 22 years old and i have almost gotten all the hair ive lost back. But not my brows:S

So i wonder is there anyone here that know or are a man that have been testing out Permanent Makeup and can tell me how it worked out for you or that person. Pictures would have benn great asvell. Have had hard time finding Permanent makeup pictures of men.
And they do make them thicker than those thin brows ladies have? =)

Hello Friend,
I had my eyebrows tattood a few years ago. Best thing I ever did for me as far as my alopecia appearence goes.
I suggest you research for a good artist before you do anything in the spur of the moment.

I'm not sure of the technical difference of permanent makeup verses tattoos if any.
Negitive aspect is pain. But not really that bad. Positive aspect nu fuss with pencils and stencils just get up and go.

Hey!

I have my permanent make-up now for more than half a year and I'm really happy that I did it. It took me one year to overcome my fear and get it. And of course it looks really natural because my make-up artist make it with hair drawing not one single line.
At my first meeting she showed me pictures from former models she did and there where also a lot of men. I can say that it look really natural for both men and woman. They look different for men and of course you can have them thicker;)
I think the best would be if you go to a professional artist . They can inform and show your different pictures and styles!
I love my permanent make up and it help me every day not to be so sad about my lost eyebrows.
All the best to you!

Hey Jeffrey!
I'm from Germany and my make-up artist is a very small one who doesn't have a homepage. But I'm sure in your county are also a lot of good artists. I would ask them if they have experience with "rebuilding" of the eyebrows, because it´s also possible that you get thicker eyebrows additional to your natural one. My artist has also Alopecia and had a lot of customers with the same problem.
I would prefer a permanent make-up than a tattoo. If you do it it stays for almost two years and you can decide if you want to renew it or not. Also the pain is not so much...I can't compare it exactly but I have a tattoo on my back and to get this was really painful!I can't imagine how it would be in the face...
When they do the permanent make-up you get a cream on your face which anesthetize your upper dermal layer. So you sense only a small prickle;)
I found one picture in internet and will it upload for you!I also put a picture of mine here that you can have a look at the result...
Hope you will found a good artist;)

Cool =)
Was nice to see on a man asvell =)
Your PM was great asvell, and when u go a meter away from the person asvell it looks even more real =)
Its probably alott diffrent to give a man new brows compared to a woman, womens often use makeup on theyr real brows and they can be much tinner and trimmed.
But mens have to be abit thicker and ruffer, so its very nice to actually see it on men instead of just womens!

Hello. I have had AA on and off for over 20 years. I know have 100% AA. My brows were the last to go. I have been using makeup from browz.com for a year now. My mom just hooked me up with a Tatoo makeup artist. After years of steroid shots in my scalp (that was a waste of time considering I am completly bald now).....anyway after years of shots I was pretty much used to any pain the artist could give me. I just got my first pass of tatoo work done yesterday. I was a little afraid...but it was the best decision I have ever made. It was a little uncomfortable, but not painful. She told me it is a 3-4 time process. One visit per month. She filled in a base brow in a light color then filled in individual hair strokes in a darker color. Next time she will add a 3rd color for a 3 dimensional illusion. I am from the Philadelphia area.


Good luck to you.

Craig
