Thanks a lot, Heidi. I think it's so generous of you to share your knowledge with so many of us on Alopecia World! Very much appreciated!

Hi Heidi,
Thanks so much for the quick response! How far in advance should I ask to have a patch test done? A few days in advance? Several weeks in advance? I really appreciate you taking the time to discuss this with me.
Best,
Emily

Hi Heidi,
I'm planning to get my eyebrows tattooed here in the US in a couple of weeks, but I have very sensitive skin and am worried about the potential for an allergic reaction. I'm allergic to the sun, nickel, certain adhesives, and I occasionally get patches of eczema. Is an allergic reaction to the pigment something that I need to worry about? Is it worth my while to get a "test" dot tattooed somewhere first to see if I have a reaction? I'd appreciate any insight you can provide! Thanks!

heidi i met your friend cathy brown today what a great women....

Hi
I think I will be attending the event on Friday 6th, but will confirm next week. I have never met other alopecians, and am looking forwad to some tips on wigs and makeup.

Hi Heidi
The first set of brows (and I use that term lightly) were done by a normal tattooist, who had a good name in the industry. I went to his salon and he showed me pictures of what he had done in the way of semi-permanent make-up. They looked good and were brush strokes as I asked. I asked how long he had been doing semi-permanent make up and he said 5yrs. I felt comfortable with the guy and made an appointment to return the following week. I was unhappy with them as soon as he had finished, I asked why he had done a solid brow and they were uneven. He said that they were swollen and it took 3-4 weeks to settle. He charged me £200. After 3 weeks I could see they were not right, he refused to speak to me. I tried to take him to court, but the council said he did not need a license and therefore did not have public liability.
I put up with them for 18months. I was in a chat room when somebody mentioned that they had just had lip and eye-liner, I contacted the clinic and asked if she could recommend any body in UK. She gave me the Tracie Giles name, and she ended up doing the removal for me, she used this paste like stuff and she tattooed it below the original ink, it lifted the original ink out and she gave me the new ones. It took about 18mths-2 yrs, but was worth it.

Hi Heidi

I am planning to come along on 7th November, I have one companion joining me so far. We have a local group meeting planned next week and will mention it there to see if anybody else would like to join us.

Could'nt seem to follow your link to e.mail (probably me).

Look forward to meeting you on 7th November.

How much does this cost. How long does it take and how long does it last. I apply eyeliner several times a day and would love to have this done. Where are you based in the UK ?

Hi Heidi,

Do you have some information on permanent eyeliner ?

I would love to have this done to give my eyes some definition, I don't have many eyelashes, just a few on my one eye.

Would love to hear from you.
